Overview
Plain-language summary, compiled from the cited regulatory records
Futibatinib is a type of medication known as a Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (Fgfr) Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor [1]. It is approved for treating adult patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that is unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic [1]. This specific approval is for patients whose cancer has fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene fusions or other rearrangements [1]. The indication was granted under accelerated approval, based on the overall response rate and duration of response observed in clinical studies [1].
Futibatinib is marketed under the brand name LYTGOBI [1]. Continued approval for this indication may depend on the verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials [1].

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Ocular Toxicity: LYTGOBI can cause retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED). Perform a comprehensive ophthalmological examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT) prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months for the first 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter and urgently at any time for visual symptoms.
1 ) Hyperphosphatemia and Soft Tissue Mineralization: Increases in phosphate levels can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, calcinosis, nonuremic calciphylaxis and vascular calcification. Monitor for hyperphosphatemia and withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia.
2 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. 1 Ocular Toxicity Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment (RPED) LYTGOBI can cause RPED, which may cause symptoms such as blurred vision.
1) ] where ophthalmologic monitoring did not routinely include optical coherence tomography (OCT), RPED occurred in 9% of patients. The median time to first onset of RPED was 40 days. 3% of patients. Perform a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, including OCT of the macula, prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months for the first 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter.
For onset of visual symptoms, refer patients for ophthalmologic evaluation urgently, with follow-up every 3 weeks until resolution or discontinuation of LYTGOBI. 3) ]. 1) ] , dry eye occurred in 15% of patients. Treat patients with ocular demulcents as needed.
2 Hyperphosphatemia and Soft Tissue Mineralization LYTGOBI can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, calcinosis, nonuremic calciphylaxis, and vascular calcification. 2) ] . 1) ] , hyperphosphatemia was reported in 88% of patients based on laboratory values above the upper limit of normal.
The median time to onset of hyperphosphatemia was 5 days (range 3-117). Phosphate binders were received by 77% of patients who received LYTGOBI. Monitor for hyperphosphatemia throughout treatment. 5 mg/dL. 3) ] . 3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in an animal study and its mechanism of action, LYTGOBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
Oral administration of futibatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death at maternal exposures lower than the human exposure at the clinical dose of 20 mg based on area under the curve (AUC).
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose of LYTGOBI. 3) ] .

Uses
Lytgobi monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that have progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.
How to take
Lytgobi therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with biliary tract cancer. Presence of FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements should be confirmed by an appropriate diagnostic test prior to initiation of Lytgobi therapy.
2 Posology The recommended starting dose is 20 mg futibatinib taken orally once daily. If a dose of futibatinib is missed by more than 12 hours or vomiting occurs after taking a dose, an additional dose should not be taken, and treatment should be resumed with the next scheduled dose.
Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In all patients, dietary restrictions that limit phosphate intake are recommended as part of hyperphosphatemia management. 5 mg/dL. If the serum phosphate level is > 7 mg/dL, the dose of futibatinib should be modified based on the duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia (see Table 2).
4). If Lytgobi treatment is stopped or serum phosphate level falls below normal range, phosphate-lowering therapy and diet should be discontinued. Severe hypophosphatemia may present with confusion, seizures, focal neurologic findings, heart failure, respiratory failure, muscle weakness, rhabdomyolysis, and hemolytic anemia.
5). If this is not possible, based on careful monitoring of tolerability, a futibatinib dose reduction to the next lower level should be considered. 5). If this is not possible, gradually increasing the futibatinib dose based on careful monitoring of tolerability should be considered.
Management of toxicities Dose modifications or interruption of dosing should be considered for the management of toxicities. The recommended dose reduction levels are provided in Table 1.
Table 1:
Recommended futibatinib dose reduction levels Dose Dose reduction levels First Second20 mg taken orally once daily 16 mg taken orally once daily 12 mg taken orally once daily Treatment should be permanently discontinued if patient is unable to tolerate 12 mg futibatinib once daily.
