Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare malignancy associated with poor survival. Molecular profiling is important to inform treatment choices and FGFR2 fusions or other rearrangements are common, occurring in 10–16% of patients with intrahepatic CCA (iCCA). There is limited real-world data on the natural history of patients with advanced CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements receiving therapies for advanced disease. The primary objective of this retrospective, observational natural history study was to compare real-world overall survival in patients with advanced CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements vs. those with wild-type (WT) FGFR2 from the index date of diagnosis of advanced CCA to date of death. A secondary objective was to analyze overall survival in the subgroup of patients with CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements from the index date of start of second-line therapy to date of death. Methods: This study used the nationwide (US-based) de-identified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine clinico-genomic database. Data originated from approx. 280 US cancer clinics (̃800 sites of care). Patients were ≥18 years of age, had chart-confirmed advanced CCA, comprehensive genomic profiling demonstrating FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement, and had ≥2 visits within the Flatiron Health network since January 1, 2011. Results: As of May 2020, 571 patients met the inclusion criteria; 75 patients with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements (median age 63 years; 64% female; 95% iCCA; 68% stage IV at initial diagnosis), and 496 patients with WT FGFR2 (median age 65 years; 48% female; 74% iCCA; 55% stage IV at initial diagnosis). Median overall survival from the index date of diagnosis was numerically higher, but not statistically different, for patients with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements vs. WT FGFR2 (12.1 months [95% CI 8.5−17.1] vs. 7.1 months [95% CI 5.7−8.8]; log rank p = 0.184). 50 patients with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements (median age 62 years; 70% female; 94% iCCA; 70% stage IV at diagnosis) received second-line therapy. Median real-world overall survival from the index date of second-line therapy was 8.5 months (95% CI 4.1−12.4 months). Conclusions: These real-world overall survival findings did not demonstrate a survival advantage for patients with CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements vs. WT FGFR2 receiving therapies for advanced disease, although a non-significant trend towards longer overall survival was observed in patients with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements. FGFR2 status was not a significant predictor of overall survival after adjusting for potential prognostic covariates. An additional analysis is ongoing to compare overall survival from the start of second-line therapy in patients with advanced CCA and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements vs. those with WT FGFR2.
