Abstract C072: Discovery of highly potent and selective covalent inhibitors of FGFR4

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 65% of all cases of liver cancers, ranking the 6th most common cancer and the 2nd cause of cancer mortality. HCC has more than 700,000 new cases/year and 600,000 deaths/year. Sorafenib is currently the standard of care for advanced disease, provides a response rate of ~2% and median survival Citation Format: Hang Chen, Katherine Slemmons, Heather Ha, Robert Stanley, Qian Cai, Irene Yuan, Lee Helman, Ping Cao.
