What is LYTGOBI?

LYTGOBI is a prescription medicine that is used to treat adults with bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery:

Your healthcare provider will test your cancer for a certain type of abnormal FGFR2 gene and make sure that LYTGOBI is right for you.
