Efficacy and Toxicity of Pemigatinib in Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma Harboring FGFR Fusions or Rearrangements: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
摘要
The efficacy and safety of pemigatinib in advanced cholangiocarcinoma (aCCA) were presented in phase I–II trials and retrospective reports, with small sample sizes and variable results.
MethodsA systematic literature search included studies investigating the efficacy/safety of pemigatinib in aCCA harboring FGFR fusions/rearrangements. Primary outcomes were objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (AEs). A pooled proportion meta-analysis was performed.
ResultsThree hundred and twenty-seven patients in eight studies were included (three phase-II, one phase-I/II, two phase-I, and two retrospective). In the pooled analyses, the median age was 58.9 years (95% confidence interval (CI): 51.9–65.8); 33.4% (95% CI: 28.1–39.0) were male. Pemigatinib was the second-line treatment in 58.5% (95% CI: 52.7–64.1) and was beyond second-line in the remaining. ORR was 42.2% (95% CI: 35.9–48.7) (I2:48.4%) and disease control rate (DCR) was 86.5% (95% CI: 81.6–90.5) (I2: 58.8%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.2–9.4) (I2: 11.6%). Two studies reported overall survival (OS) (median 17.5 and 17.1 months). The most common AEs (any grade) were hyperphosphatemia (46%), dysgeusia (33.2%), alopecia (31.4%), fatigue (30.9%), stomatitis (28.5%), and diarrhea (27.5%). Cumulative eye and nail toxicities were observed in 32.5% and 40.9%, and retinal detachment in 5.5%.
ConclusionThis analysis emphasizes the FGFR alteration testing and pemigatinib use in the second-line and beyond treatment of aCCA.
