Derazantinib is a potent FGFR1‒3 kinase inhibitor which also has activity against colony stimulating factor-1‒receptor (CSF1R) and vascular endothelial growfth factor receptor‒2 (VEGFR2), suggesting a potentially differentiated role in the treatment of patients with iCCA. Derazantinib has shown clinically meaningful efficacy with durable objective responses, supporting the therapeutic potential of derazantinib in previously treated patients with iCCA harboring FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements, mutations and amplifications. The clinical safety profile of derazantinib was well manageable and compared favorably to the FGFR inhibitor class, particularly with a low incidence of drug-related hand-foot syndrome, stomatitis, retinal and nail toxicity. These findings support the need for increased molecular profiling of c…
