Study summary

This Phase II, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib in subjects with inoperable or advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) who received at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy. Patients received an oral once-daily total dose of 300 mg derazantinib capsules.

Read the detailed description

This was a multi-center, open-label, single arm study which evaluated the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib in adult patients with inoperable or advanced iCCA in the following study population:

Patients with inoperable or advanced iCCA and with fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusions (Substudy 1) or FGFR2 mutations/amplifications (Substudy 2), treated with at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy.

Derazantinib was supplied as 100 mg capsules. A dose of 300 mg once-daily (three capsules of 100 mg each) of derazantinib was administered orally to patients, 1 hour before, or 2 hours after, a meal.

Participant flow

A total of 729 patients underwent molecular screening, and 148 were enrolled and assigned treatment. One patient was subsequently not confirmed to have fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion, and was therefore excluded from the Safety/ITT population, meaning that for all Safety/ITT population analyses 147 patients were included (Substudy 1 = 103, Substudy 2 = 44).
