The FDA has granted Priority Review for lirafugratinib, an FGFR2 inhibitor for second-line cholangiocarcinoma treatment, with a PDUFA date of September 27, 2026. Clinical trial data showed a 46.5% objective response rate and 11.8-month median duration of response. The therapy demonstrated a manageable safety profile with lower rates of common FGFR inhibitor side effects.
The FDA approved navepegritide, a once-weekly injectable therapy for achondroplasia, while phase 3 data showed infigratinib, an investigational oral medication, achieved the highest growth velocity reported in randomized trials for the condition.
BridgeBio Pharma reported positive Phase 3 results for oral infigratinib in children with achondroplasia, meeting primary and secondary endpoints with superior growth velocity and the first statistically significant improvement in body proportionality. The company plans regulatory submissions in the second half of 2026.
