FDA Benefit-Risk Analysis.

Dimension Evidence and uncertainties Conclusions and reasons
Analysis of condition
  • FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements are present in 10‐20% of patients with iCCA.

iCCA with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements is a rare, serious, and life threatening disease.
Current treatment options
  • Treatment options after first-line gemcitabine + cisplatin chemotherapy are limited.

  • No treatment has received regular FDA approval for relapsed CCA.

  • FGFR inhibitors pemigatinib and infigratinib were approved under the accelerated approval pathway and therefore are not considered available therapy.

Patients with CCA with a FGFR2 gene fusion or other rearrangement who have received at least one prior line of treatment have an unmet medical need.
Benefit
  • The ORR benefit in 103 patients with iCCA enrolled in Study TAS‐120‐101 was 42% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 32, 52)

  • The median DoR was 9.7 months (95% CI: 7.6, 17.1)

  • 43 patients had confirmed PR; 31/43 patients (72%) had a response duration ≥6 months.

There is a meaningful improvement in the magnitude of ORR observed in patients treated with futibatinib in Study TAS‐120‐101 compared to available therapy. The DoR is also clinically meaningful in the context of a disease with estimated survival of 5‐6 months. PMRs have been issued for dose optimization studies.
Risk and risk
management
  • The most common AEs (≥ 30%) were nail toxicity, musculoskeletal pain, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, dry mouth, alopecia, stomatitis, and abdominal pain.

  • The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥ 50%) were increased phosphate, increased creatinine, decreased hemoglobin, and increased glucose.

  • Ocular toxicity (including dry eye, keratitis, and retinal epithelial detachment), and hyperphosphatemia are important risks associated with futibatinib.

A PMR was issued for further characterization of ocular toxicity.
Information in the Warnings and Precautions and Dosage and Administration sections of product labeling address these toxicities adequately.
