Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and before the first dose on Day 1 and must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through safety follow-up (30-35 days after last dose of pemigatinib) and through 6 months after the last dose of gemcitabine and/or cisplatin. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy (see Appendix A) should be communicated to the participants and their understanding confirmed.
- For Japanese participants, willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below: a. Female participants should agree to use medically acceptable contraceptive measures, should not be breastfeeding, and must have a negative pregnancy test before the start of study treatment administration if of childbearing potential or must have evidence of nonchildbearing potential by fulfilling 1 of the following criteria at screening: − Postmenopausal, defined as aged >50 years and amenorrheic for at least 12 months after cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments. Note: Female participants who have been amenorrheic for at least 12 months resulting from chemotherapy/radiotherapy are considered of childbearing potential and should agree to use adequate contraceptive measures. − Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation. − All women of childbearing potential must understand and accept that pregnancy must be avoided during participation in the study, from screening through 30 days after last dose of pemigatinib (based on menstrual cycle) and 6 months after last dose of gemcitabine and/or cisplatin. b. Male participants should avoid unprotected sex with women of childbearing potential during the study and for a washout period of 3 months after the last dose of pemigatinib or 6 months after the last dose of gemcitabine and/or cisplatin. Participants should refrain from donating sperm from the start of the study treatment administration until 6 months after discontinuing study treatment.
What rules you out
- Received prior anticancer systemic therapy for unresectable and/or metastatic disease (not including adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatment completed at least 6 months prior to enrollment, and participants that have received treatment for locally advanced disease with trans-arterial chemoembolization or selective internal radiation therapy, if clear evidence of radiological progression is observed before enrollment, or enrolled as of Amendment 6 and the participant received 1 cycle of gemcitabine plus cisplatin [the start of study drug {Cycle 1 Day 1} must be at least 14 days and ≤ 4 weeks {28 days} from the last dose of gemcitabine plus cisplatin]).
- Participants with laboratory values at screening defined in Table 11 of the protocol
- History of calcium and phosphate hemostasis disorder or systemic mineral imbalance with ectopic calcification of soft tissues (exception: commonly observed calcifications in soft tissues, such as the skin, kidney, tendons or vessels due to injury, disease, and aging, in the absence of systemic mineral imbalance).

- Inadequate recovery from toxicity and/or complications from a major surgery before starting therapy.
- For NA, EU, and ROW participants, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or participants expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through completion of safety follow-up or through 90 days from the date of last dose of pemigatinib and 6 months after the last dose of gemcitabine and/or cisplatin for male participants.
- For Japanese participants, pregnant or breastfeeding women or participants expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 90 days after last dose of pemigatinib (men; based on the spermatogenetic cycle) and 30 days after last dose of pemigatinib (women; based on menstrual cycle) and 6 months after the last dose of gemcitabine and/or cisplatin (men and women). Female participants who are breastfeeding and wish to enroll must discontinue breastfeeding before receiving study drug and must not resume breastfeeding until at least 30 days after last dose of study treatment, which exceeds 5 times the half-life of pemigatinib.
- Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study treatment and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data.

- Participant is a candidate for potentially curative surgery.
- Current evidence of clinically significant corneal (including but not limited to bullous/band keratopathy, corneal abrasion, inflammation/ulceration, and keratoconjunctivitis) or retinal disorder (including but not limited to central serous retinopathy, macular/retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment) as confirmed by ophthalmologic examination
- Radiation therapy administered within 4 weeks of enrollment/randomization/first dose of study treatment. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. Evidence of fibrosis within a radiation field from prior radiotherapy is permitted with medical monitor approval. A 2-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation to non-CNS disease.
- Known CNS metastases or history of uncontrolled seizures. Participants with treated brain metastases are eligible if there is no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks after CNS-directed treatment, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT scan) during the screening period, and they are on stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids for at least 1 week.
