Abstract
Background: CCA is associated with poor prognosis and reduced QoL. In the phase 2 FIGHT-202 study (NCT02924376) of the selective oral FGFR1–3 inhibitor pemigatinib, 35.5% and 46.7% of pts with previously treated advanced CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements (RE) had a complete or partial response (CR/PR) and stable disease (SD), respectively; 14.9% had progressive disease (PD) [Abou-Alfa et al., Lancet Oncology 2020;21:671-684]. QoL was an exploratory endpoint. Methods: Pts received pemigatinib 13.5 mg once daily (21-day cycle; 2 weeks on, 1 week off). QoL was assessed longitudinally by best overall response (BOR) per RECIST with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and the biliary tract cancer-specific EORTC-QLQ-BIL21 questionnaires. QoL scores and longitudinal changes from baseline (BL) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Treatment-related changes in QoL were a priori expected to be evident by cycle 6 day 1 (week 16). Results: Of 107 pts with FGFR2 RE, 100 (93%) were evaluable for QoL, including36, 48, and 15 with CR/PR, SD, and PD, respectively. From BL to week 16, QLQ-C30 overall health status was maintained in pts with CR/PR and SD and worsened in pts with PD (Table). Emotional functioning remained stable and similar in pts with CR/PR and SD but worsened in pts with PD. All subgroups showed decline in role and social functioning. Pts with CR/PR and SD experienced decreases in QLQ-BIL21 pain and anxiety; all subgroups showed increases in QLQ-BIL21 treatment side effects. Conclusions: In these pts with advanced CCA, those with an SD as BOR had a similar pattern of changes in QoL as those with CR/PR to pemigatinib. Changes in QoL were directionally more favorable in pts with CR/PR or SD than pts with PD.
