FGFR3 Inhibitor
LOXO-435
- Type of Alteration(s)Point mutations*Alteration(s) of Interest †FGFR3 R248C
FGFR3 S249C
FGFR3 G370C
FGFR3 Y373CMethodology
Key Considerations
NGS (Tissue)- Suitable for broad-based genomic profiling that includes targets in addition to FGFR3
- Full coverage of FGFR3 gene is preferred over hotspot sequencing
NGS (cfDNA)- Useful when tissue biopsy sample is limited/unavailable
- Higher false negative rate than tissue-based NGS testing
PCR-based- Will detect selected mutations
*Point mutations occur at higher frequency (15-20%) than fusions (2-3%)†List not exhaustive of all activating alterationsReferences

Methodology
Key Considerations
NGS (Tissue)- Suitable for broad-based genomic profiling that includes targets in addition to FGFR3
- Full coverage of FGFR3 gene is preferred over hotspot sequencing
- Assay should minimally cover exons 17 and 18 to ensure detection of most common fusions
- RNA-based NGS is most suitable for fusions
NGS (cfDNA)- Useful when tissue biopsy sample is limited/unavailable
- Higher false negative rate than tissue-based NGS testing
PCR-based- Will detect known fusions but may miss novel FGFR3 rearrangements
*Point mutations occur at higher frequency (15-20%) than fusions (2-3%)†List not exhaustive of all activating alterationsReferences

- Type of Alteration(s)Amplification/OverexpressionAlteration(s) of InterestFGFR3 gene, FGFR3 mRNA, FGFR3 protein or its ligands
Methodology
Key Considerations
IHC- Directly measures FGFR3 protein expression
- Provides spatial information
- Short TAT
- Requires pathologist training or central testing
RNA-ISH- Detects FGFR3 mRNA overexpression
- Short TAT
- Requires pathologist training or central testing
NGS (Tissue)- Detects FGFR3 mRNA overexpression
- Short TAT
- Requires pathologist training or central testing
PCR-based- Detects FGFR3 mRNA overexpression
- Sensitive
- Does not provide spatial information
