NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) with
potential antineoplastic activity. Futibatinib selectively and irreversibly binds
to and inhibits FGFR, which may result in the inhibition of both the FGFR-mediated
signal transduction pathway and tumor cell proliferation, and increased cell death
in FGFR-overexpressing tumor cells. FGFR is a receptor tyrosine kinase essential to
tumor cell proliferation, differentiation and survival and its expression is upregulated
in many tumor cell types.;
