Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement in advanced/metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (~10–20% of iCCA; rare in extrahepatic / gallbladder). Treatment-defining for 2L+: pemigatinib (FIGHT-202 ORR 35.5%, mPFS 6.9 mo, mOS 21.1 mo; FDA Apr 2020) preferred when FGFR2 fusion confirmed; futibatinib (FOENIX-CCA2) covalent FGFR-TKI alternative, including some pemigatinib-resistance variants. Common partners: BICC1-FGFR2, FGFR2-AHCYL1, FGFR2-CCDC6.
    Detection: RNA-NGS preferred (captures fusion partners); DNA-NGS with fusion-aware caller acceptable; FISH break-apart secondary. Mandatory pre-treatment NGS in advanced iCCA (NCCN cat 1 testing). Class toxicity: hyperphosphatemia (~50%)…

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-CHOLANGIO-2L-HER2-ZANIDATAMAB)
  • Do NOT prescribe without confirmed HER2-amplification (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) — lower-level protein expression alone is insufficient for this indication.
  • Do NOT start without baseline echocardiogram / MUGA — HER2-targeted class toxicity includes LVEF decline.
  • Do NOT skip premedication for first 2-3 infusions — infusion reactions ~33%.
  • Do NOT ignore diarrhea prophylaxis — ~40% any-grade; patient must have loperamide at home with clear escalation plan.
  • Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — zanidatamab not registered in UA (named-patient / EAP only).
Aggressive plan (IND-CHOLANGIO-2L-IDH1-IVOSIDENIB)
  • Do NOT prescribe without confirmed IDH1 R132 mutation testing (tumor NGS or ctDNA) — amplification, IDH2 mutation, or non-R132 IDH1 mutations are NOT eligible.
  • Do NOT start without baseline ECG and correction of electrolytes (K, Mg, Ca) — QT prolongation is a class adverse effect.
  • Do NOT combine with strong CYP3A4 inducers (rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John's wort) — ivosidenib exposure is sharply reduced.
  • Do NOT skip QTc monitoring (ECG at week 1, 2, 4, then monthly or as clinically indicated).
  • Do NOT rely on hormonal contraception as the sole method — ivosidenib induces CYP3A4; barrier contraception is required.
  • Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — ivosidenib not registered in UA.
Aggressive plan (IND-CHOLANGIO-2L-FGFR2-FUSION-PEMIGATINIB)
  • Do NOT prescribe without RNA-NGS (or DNA-NGS fusion-aware / FISH break-apart) confirmation of FGFR2 fusion — amplification alone is insufficient for this indication.
  • Do NOT start without baseline ophthalmologic exam — serous retinopathy / RPE detachment — class toxicity.
  • Do NOT ignore phosphate monitoring — hyperphosphatemia requires diet + sevelamer; delay / dose reduction at >7 mg/dL.
  • Do NOT combine with strong CYP3A4 inducers — pemigatinib exposure is sharply reduced.
  • Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — pemigatinib not registered in UA.
