text Treatment of FGFR1-amplified lung and breast cancer cell lines with the in vitro reagents PD173704, SU5402 and FIIN-1 inhibits proliferation, while cells expressing wild-type levels of FGFR1 are insensitive to inhibitors, suggesting that amplified FGFR1 may be a suitable therapeutic target in some cancer lines (Weiss, 2010; Reis-Filho, 2006; Dutt, 2011; Turner, 2010). In fact, a number of other small molecule inhibitors, including Dovitinib and AZD4547, are currently in clinical trials for treatment of FGFR1-amplified cancers (reviewed in Turner and Grose, 2010; Wesche, 2011; http://ClinicalTrials.gov)
