Clinical benefit with PEMAZYRE — 2 of 3
PEMAZYRE provides a new treatment option in ≥2L CCA
Clinically meaningful anti-tumour activity was observed with PEMAZYRE1,24
Best percentage change from baseline in target lesion size for individual patients with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements24
Tumour response was assessed by independent review. Coloured bars indicate confirmed responses assessed by RECIST v1.1.
Dotted lines indicate the cutoff for partial response (–30%) and progressive disease (+20%).
*Patient had a decrease in target lesion size but was not evaluable for response using RECIST.
