Abstract Several alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes have been found in breast cancer; however, they have not been well characterized as therapeutic targets. Futibatinib (TAS-120; Taiho) is a novel, selective, pan-FGFR inhibitor that inhibits FGFR1-4 at nanomolar concentrations. We sought to determine futibatinib's efficacy in breast cancer models.

Abstract Despite advances in molecular therapeutics, few anticancer agents achieve durable responses. Rational combinations using two or more anticancer drugs have the potential to achieve a synergistic effect and overcome drug resistance, enhancing antitumor efficacy. A publicly accessible biomedical literature search engine dedicated to this domain will facilitate knowledge discovery and reduce manual search and review.
