- Lytgobi 20 Mg Daily Dose
- Generic Name
- Futibatinib
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB15149
- Background
Futibatinib is an inhibitor of Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor (FGFR), which comprises a group of receptor tyrosine kinases that play a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. FGFR was investigated in oncology as a therapeutic target, as FGFR genomic aberrations and dysregulated FGFR signalling pathways are observed in some cancers such as cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial malignancies.1,2
As a novel inhibitor of FGFR, futibatinib was first approved by the FDA in September 2022 to treat different types of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.4

Pharmacology
- Indication
Futibatinib is indicated to treat adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene fusions or other rearrangements.4
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).4

- Pharmacodynamics
Futibatinib is an anticancer agent with demonstrated anti-tumour activity in mouse and rat xenograft models of human tumours with activating FGFR genetic alterations.4 Futibatinib is not expected to affect cell lines with no FGFR genomic aberrations.2 It suppresses the growth of tumours in a dose-dependent manner.2
- Mechanism of action
Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor (FGFR) pathway play a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Notably, FGFR genomic aberrations and aberrant FGFR signalling pathways are observed in some cancers,1,2 as constitutive FGFR signalling can support the proliferation and survival of malignant cells.4
Futibatinib is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of FGFR 1, 2, 3, and 4 with IC50 values of less than 4 nM.2,4 It binds to the FGFR kinase domain by forming a covalent bond with cysteine in the ATP-binding pocket.2 Upon binding to FGFR, futibatinib blocks FGFR phosphorylation and downstream signalling pathways,4 such as the RAS-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3KCA)/Akt/mTOR, phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ), and JAK/STAT.3 Futibatinib ultimately decreases cell viability in cancer cell lines with FGFR alterations, including FGFR fusions or rearrangements, amplifications, and mutations.4

Tmax ranges from 1.2 to 22.8 hours, with a median value of two hours. In healthy subjects, a high-fat and high-calorie meal (900 to 1000 calories with approximately 50% of total caloric content from fat) decreased futibatinib AUC by 11% and Cmax by 42%.4
- Volume of distribution
The geometric mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vc/F) is 66 L (18%).4
- Protein binding
Futibatinib is 95% bound to human plasma protein at 0.2 to 5 µmol/L in vitro, primarily to albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein.4
- Metabolism
In vitro, futibatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9 and CYP2D6. Unchanged futibatinib is the major drug-related moiety in plasma (accounting for 59% of radioactivity) in healthy subjects.4
- Route of elimination
Following a single oral dose of 20 mg radiolabeled futibatinib, approximately 91% of the total recovered radioactivity was observed in feces and 9% in urine, with negligible unchanged futibatinib in urine or feces.4
- Half-life
The mean (CV%) elimination half-life (t1/2) of futibatinib is 2.9 hours (27%).4
- Clearance
The geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance (CL/F) is 20 L/h (23%).4
