This is a tough situation. Depending on the patient's performance status and organ function, a clinical trial is strongly recommended. If the patient has FGFR2 fusion or chromosome rearrangement with prior exposure to pemigatinib, resistance mutation (gatekeeper mutation) is likely present and may b...
