New Indication: First-Line Pemigatinib for FGFR2 Rearranged Cholangiocarcinoma

The FIGHT-302 trial evaluated pemigatinib against gemcitabine plus cisplatin as a first-line treatment for advanced cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 rearrangements. Pemigatinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival and improved the objective response rate compared to chemotherapy. Overall survival was similar between the treatment groups.
