Mutations de l'ADN dans les cholangiocarcinomes: cibler IDH1 et autres mutations

DNA mutations in cholangiocarcinoma: targeting IDH1 and other mutations Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are rare cancers with a poor prognosis, particularly at the metastatic stage, with a 5-year survival rate not exceeding 7%. Two lines of chemotherapy are currently recommended in France, with cisplatin-gemcitabine and 5 FU-oxaliplatin as first and second-line treatment respectively, allowing a median survival of approximately one year. However, many studies have shown that BTC, and more particularly intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, have a high somatic alteration rate (mutations, fusions, or amplifications). Some of these alterations are potential therapeutic targets. To date, only ivosidenib and pemigatinib, targeting IDH1 mutations and FGFR2 fusions respectively, are approved in France for pre-treated patients with these molecular alterations. Many other potentially targetable alterations are found in BTC, including mutations in genes involved in DNA repair, BRAF, HER2 and the recently exploited KRASG12C mutation. This review will focus on targetable mutations in BTC and develop the main molecules that can be used in BTC with these actionable alterations, offering new therapeutic perspectives for these patients, with the ultimate goal of improving their prognosis.
