• Lucitanib GI50 was determined on 24 cell lines with FGFR
and/or PDGFR genomic alterations - including
amplifications, mutations, and fusions; and 25 nonFGFR/PDGFR aberrant cell lines (Fig. 2A). Mean GI50 for
cells with FGFR/PDGFR aberrations was significantly lower
than that for control cells (P<0.0001), suggesting that

• A Phase 1/2 clinical study [1] showed compelling activity of
lucitanib in solid tumors and, in particular, a 50% (6 of 12
patients) RECIST partial response rate in breast cancer
patients with FGF-aberrant (FGFR1 and/or FGF3/4/19
gene amplified) tumors. On-going clinical studies are
further defining the activity of lucitanib in breast
(NCT02053636; NCT02202746; ISRCTN23201971) and
lung cancer (NCT02109016). FGFR gene fusions /
translocations
(e.g.
FGFR3-TACC3)
resulting
in
constitutively active FGFR signaling and tumor proliferation
are observed in a wide variety of cancers [2] and inhibition
of FGFR signaling in FGFR translocated tumors with
lucitanib may be a potential new therapeutic strategy.

TUMOR XENOGRAFT EFFICACY STUDIES
• FGFR3 phosphorylation (pFGFR3) analysis was performed
using four bladder carcinoma cells harboring FGFR3
fusions with and without the addition of exogenous of FGF1 (Fig. 3A). Lucitanib was seen to inhibit pFGFR3 with
mean IC50 of 70 nM with FGF-1. Interestingly, RT4 and
SW780 showed constitutively active pFGFR3 which was
unchanged by FGF-1 addition; while RT112 and its
derivative RT112/84 increased phosphorylation levels with
FGF-1 ligand addition.
• Lucitanib inhibition of FGFR3 downstream signaling was
evaluated in FGFR3 fusion bladder carcinoma cells (Fig.
3B). Complete inhibition of pERK and a partial decrease of
pAKT were observed with increasing concentrations of
lucitanib, correlating with decrease in pFGFR3. Addition of
FGF-1 ligand also increased both pERK and pAKT levels.
The lucitanib mean IC50 for inhibiting pERK were 33 and 46
nM without and with FGF-1, respectively. Results for
RT112/84 were comparable to RT112 (data not shown).

• Lucitanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively
inhibits fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-3 (FGFR1-3),
vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3 (VEGFR13) and platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR)
α/β. (Table 1; Fig.1).

• Lucitanib anti-tumor activity was evaluated in four human
xenograft models with FGFR3 fusions—three bladder
carcinoma cell line models (RT112/84, RT4, and SW780)
and a glioblastoma PDX (BN2289; CrownBio) (Fig. 4; Table
2). Lucitanib dosed at 20 mg/kg QD demonstrated potent
growth inhibition in all four models tested (P<0.0001). The
selective FGFR inhibitor BGJ398 (15 or 20 mg/kg) was also
active in SW780, RT4 and BN2289 demonstrating FGFR
dependence of these tumors, but only slightly impacted
tumor growth in RT112/84 xenograft model. Lucitanib had a
greater antitumor activity in 4/4 models as compared to
BGJ398 and in 3/3 models as compared to sunitinib.
