Additional Criteria

Document 541
Indication & Patient Population
- Adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA)
- Must harbor FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements identified prospectively by DNA testing
- Must have disease progression after ≥1 prior regimen including gemcitabine plus platinum-based chemotherapy
- Must have radiographically measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1
Dosing & Administration
- Starting dose: 20mg/day (5 tablets) once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs
- Administered in 21-day cycles with no days off
- Treatment interruptions and/or dose reduction indicated for any grade 3 or grade 4 laboratory related events
- No dose adjustments recommended for renal or hepatic failure
Monitoring & Precautions
- Monitor serum phosphate and adjust dose based on severity (hyperphosphatemia median onset day 5)
- Initiation of phosphate lowering therapy is likely
- Perform comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT) prior to initiation, every 2 months for first 6 months, every 3 months thereafter, and urgently at any time for visual symptoms
- Advise patients of reproductive potential regarding fetal risk and require use of effective contraception
Contraindications & Warnings
- No boxed warnings or contraindications listed
- Hyperphosphatemia occurred in 85% of patients; adverse effects leading to treatment discontinuation were uncommon (2%)
- Risk of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED)
- Can cause fetal harm
Drug Interactions
- Avoid dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole) due to increased futibatinib exposure and adverse effects
- Avoid dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., rifampin) due to decreased futibatinib exposure and reduced efficacy
