A daily dose of Relay Therapeutics’ experimental drug for cholangiocarcinoma, a rare cancer of the bile ducts, led to tumor shrinkage of a third or more in 15 of 17 patients with metastatic


disease, the company said Wednesday. The results were released in an abstract at the annual meeting of the European Society of Molecular Oncology, where they will be presented in full on


Sunday. Relay’s drug, known as RLY-4008, works only in tumors that have a particular kind of mutation related to a gene for a protein called FGFR2. Other drugs exist for treating


cholangiocarcinoma patients with this mutation, but doctors believe their efficacy is limited by toxicities, including high levels of phosphorus, that prevent researchers from giving them in


high enough doses. STAT+ Exclusive Story Already have an account? Log in THIS ARTICLE IS EXCLUSIVE TO STAT+ SUBSCRIBERS UNLOCK THIS ARTICLE — PLUS DAILY COVERAGE AND ANALYSIS OF THE BIOTECH
