Oncology Drug Reference Sheet: Pemigatinib
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted pemigatinib (Pemazyre®) a new indication in August 2022, it became the first targeted therapy approved for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory myeloid or lymphoid neoplasms (MLNs) with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1 rearrangement. In 2021, FDA gave pemigatinib accelerated approval for patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test.
