Therapeutic value

Current treatment options MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement is a rare and progressive hematological malignancy. Incidence approx. <1 case per 100.000 persons/year. For patients with MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement in chronic phase, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) US-guidelines identify enrolment in clinical trials as the preferred treatment option. In the absence of a clinical trial, the current recommended approach is monotherapy with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against FGFR1.The NCCN guidelines list pemigatinib, midostaurin, and ponatinib as TKIs with activity against FGFR1. However, none of these drugs (except pemigatinib in US) have been approved for the treatment of MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement.

Substantiation Not assessed, no approved treatment for MLN with FGFR-1 rearrangement available. Latest results of the FIGHT-203 study (presented at 2022 ASH) showed in treatment naïve or previously treated patients with MLN with FGFR-1 rearrangements: Of 38 evaluable patients, 28 (73.7%) achieved a clinical complete response (CR; primary endpoint). The rate of complete cytogenetic responses (CCyR) was 70.0% (n=28/40). The rates of CRs and CCyRs in previously treated, efficacy-evaluable patients were 75.8% (n=25/33) and 71.4% (n=25/35), respectively. Of 21 patients with chronic phase (CP) disease, 18 (85.7%) exhibited both clinical CRs and CCyRs. Of 17 patients with blast phase (BP) disease, 9 presented with clinical CRs (52.9%), and 8 (47.1%) with CCyRs. The median exposure to pemigatinib treatment was 6.3 months (range: 0.5-50.2).
Duration of treatment Median 6.3 month / months
Frequency of administration 1 times a day
Dosage per administration 13,5 mg
