FGFR3 activation results from the recurrent transforming event of t(4;14) found in ∼15% of MM patients, as well as secondary <i>FGFR3</i> mutations in this subgroup. To evaluate the effectiveness of targeting FGFR3 in MM, we undertook a phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the small-molecule FGFR1-4 inhibitor, erdafitinib, in relapsed/refractory myeloma patients with or without <i>FGFR3</i> mutations (NCT02952573).
