Mechanism of Action

Futibatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor of FGFR 1, 2, 3, and 4 that covalently binds FGFR. Futibatinib inhibited FGFR phosphorylation and downstream signaling and decreased cell viability in cancer cell lines with FGFR alterations including FGFR fusions/rearrangements, amplifications, and mutations. 

Lytgobi Indications

Indications

In adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene fusions or other rearrangements.

Lytgobi Dosage and Administration

Adult

Confirm presence of FGFR2 gene fusion or rearrangement prior to initiation. Swallow whole. 20mg (5 tabs) once daily until disease progression or toxicity occurs. Dose modifications for adverse reactions: see full labeling.

Children

Not established.

Lytgobi Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Risk for retinal pigment epithelial detachment. Perform eye exam prior to initiation, every 2 months for the 1st 6 months, then every 3 months thereafter; if visual symptoms develop, evaluate immediately. Monitor for hyperphosphatemia (can lead to soft tissue mineralization, vascular calcification, others). Initiate a low phosphate diet and phosphate lowering therapy if serum phosphate ≥5.5mg/dL. If serum phosphate >7mg/dL, initiate or increase phosphate lowering therapy and withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Lytgobi based on duration and severity. Cirrhosis and total bilirubin >1.5–3×ULN: increased risk for adverse reactions. Embryo-fetal toxicity. Advise females of reproductive potential and males (w. female partners) to use effective contraception during and for 1 week after the last dose. Pregnancy: exclude status prior to initiation. Nursing mothers: not recommended (during and for 1 week after the last dose).

Lytgobi Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Median time to reach maximum futibatinib plasma concentration (Tmax) was 2 (range: 1.2–22.8) hours. 

Administration of Lytgobi with a high-fat and high-calorie meal decreased futibatinib AUC by 11% and Cmax by 42% in healthy subjects.

Distribution

Plasma protein bound: 95%. 

Metabolism

Primarily by CYP3A; lesser extent by CYP2C9 and CYP2D6 in vitro. 

Elimination

Fecal (91%), renal (9%). Half-life: 2.9 hours. 

Lytgobi Interactions

Interactions

May be potentiated by dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors; avoid concomitant use. May be antagonized by dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers; avoid concomitant use. May potentiate P-gp or BCRP substrates; monitor and reduce doses.
