Purpose
Present two patients on two different novel FGFR inhibitors who developed trichiasis with dry eye syndrome.
Observations
Two patients developed trichiasis and dry eye following FGFR inhibitor therapy. Treatments included artificial tears, lifitegrast or cyclosporine, and epilation as needed. One patient discontinued treatment with AZD4547 due to the severity of the ocular adverse effects.
Conclusions and Importance
Trichiasis has not yet been reported in patients receiving AZD4547 or INCB054828 treatments and may represent a rare adverse effect of these drugs. Continued research is necessary to determine whether there is a definite link between these FGFR inhibitors and the development of trichiasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
