ABSTRACT: Genomic alterations that activate Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) are common in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), a deadly bile duct malignancy. FGFR kinase inhibitors (FGFRi) have shown promising efficacy against FGFR2+ ICC in clinical trials, leading to the regulatory approval of the ATP-competitive FGFR inhibitors, pemigatinib and infigratinib (BGJ398), for this subset of patients who failed standard treatment . However, the objective response rate (ORR) for each FGFR inhibitor (FGFRi) studied to date in FGFR2+ ICC is <45% and disease progression invariably arises within ~6-12 months. By employing high-throughput drug screens and signaling studies, we identified signaling feedback via the EGFR pathway as a major mediator of adaptive resistance to FGFR kinase inhibition in a set of patient-derived ICC models. To further gain insights into the synergistic effects of the EGFR/FGFR combination and address the mechanisms underlying the survival pathway reactivation, we performed RNA sequencing in our FGFR-driven ICC models (ICC21 and ICC10-6). For these studies, we treated FGFR2 fusion+ ICC cell lines ICC21/ICC10-6 with four conditions (DMSO/Infigratinib/Afatinib/Combo) for 4 hours followed by RNA sequencing.
