Pharmacologically, dedicated inhibitors like Infigratinib have demonstrated anti-tumor activity in clinical Phase II trials for FGFR-altered recurrent gliomas, while the multi-kinase inhibitor Regorafenib has shown a modest survival benefit in recurrent GBM; however, mechanistic studies indicate that effective response often relies on co-targeting bypass pathways (e.g., CLK2) and mitigating the tumor’s metabolic dependency. The gene discussed is CLK2; the disease is glioma.
