Patients with cholangiocarcinoma face a poor prognosis 1,2
CCA is often advanced at presentation and is highly heterogeneous, exacerbating post-1L clinical challenges1,2
CCA is often advanced at presentation and is highly heterogeneous, exacerbating post-1L clinical challenges1,2
Predominantly advanced presentation1
Most patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease due to late manifestation of clinical symptoms and resulting diagnosis delays.
Poor survival rates among patients with advanced CCA:
<10%: 5-year OS for patients with iCCA2
High tumor heterogeneity1
iCCA is a progressive, molecularly heterogeneous disease:
~50% of patients with CCA harbor actionable gene mutations1
Up to 16% of iCCAs contain FGFR genetic alterations3
1L=first-line; CCA=cholangiocarcinoma; FGFR=fibroblast growth factor receptor; iCCA=intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; OS=overall survival.
