Efficacy of futibatinib, an irreversible fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor, in FGFR-altered breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Several alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes have been found in breast cancer; however, they have not been well characterized as therapeutic targets. Futibatinib (TAS-120; Taiho) is a novel, selective, pan-FGFR inhibitor that inhibits FGFR1-4 at nanomolar concentrations. We sought to determine futibatinib's efficacy in breast cancer models. Nine breast cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) with various FGFR1-4 alterations and expression levels were treated with futibatinib. Antitumor efficacy was evaluated by change in tumor volume and time to tumor doubling. Alterations indicating sensitization to futibatinib in vivo were further characterized in vitro. FGFR gene expression between patient tumors and matching PDXs was significantly correlated; however, overall PDXs had higher FGFR3-4 expression. Futibatinib inhibited tumor growth in 3 of 9 PDXs, with tumor stabilization in an FGFR2-amplified model and prolonged regression (> 110 days) in an FGFR2 Y375C mutant/amplified model. FGFR2 overexpression and, to a greater extent, FGFR2 Y375C expression in MCF10A cells enhanced cell growth and sensitivity to futibatinib. Per institutional and public databases, FGFR2 mutations and amplifications had a population frequency of 1.1%-2.6% and 1.5%-2.5%, respectively, in breast cancer patients. FGFR2 alterations in breast cancer may represent infrequent but highly promising targets for futibatinib.

Project description:BackgroundInfigratinib (BGJ398) is a potent, selective fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-3 inhibitor with significant activity in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) bearing FGFR3 alterations. It can cause hyperphosphatemia due to the "on-target" class effect of FGFR1 inhibition.ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between hyperphosphatemia and treatment response in patients with mUC.InterventionOral infigratinib 125 mg/d for 21 d every 28 d.Design, setting, and participantsData from patients treated with infigratinib in a phase I trial with platinum-refractory mUC and activating FGFR3 alterations were retrospectively analyzed for clinical efficacy in relation to serum hyperphosphatemia. The relationship between plasma infigratinib concentration and phosphorous levels was also assessed.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisClinical outcomes were compared in groups with/without hyperphosphatemia.Results and limitationsOf the 67 patients enrolled, 48 (71.6%) had hyperphosphatemia on one or more laboratory tests. Findings in patients with versus without hyperphosphatemia were the following: overall response rate 33.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 20.4-48.4) versus 5.3% (95% CI 0.1-26.0); disease control rate 75.0% (95% CI 60.4-86.4) versus 36.8% (95% CI 16.3-61.6). This trend was maintained in a 1-mo landmark analysis. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis showed that serum phosphorus levels and physiologic infigratinib concentrations were correlated positively. Key limitations include retrospective design, lack of comparator, and limited sample size.ConclusionsThis is the first published study to suggest that hyperphosphatemia caused by FGFR inhibitors, such as infigratinib, can be a surrogate biomarker for treatment response. These findings are consistent with other reported observations and will need to be validated further in a larger prospective trial.Patient summaryTargeted therapy is a new paradigm in treating bladder cancer. In a study using infigratinib, a drug that targets mutations in a gene called fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), we found that elevated levels of phosphorous were associated with greater clinical benefit. In the future, these data may help inform treatment strategies.
