Dr Angela Lamarca discusses the use of FGFR inhibitors in daily practice. Their use will depend largely on data from currently ongoing second- and first-line clinical trials. She suggests that consideration should be given to their use in combination with chemotherapy and/or as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy. Dr Milind Javle summarizes the field, suggesting that a time may come when patients with CCA are never treated with chemotherapy at all. Pemigatinib was FDA approved as second-line therapy in cholangiocarcinoma in May 2020.
