General information

Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, as well as RET, CSF1R, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FLT4, KIT, and VEGFR2. Erdafinitinib inhibits FGFR-related phosphorylation and signal transduction, resulting in inhibition and tumor cell death in FGFR-overexpressing tumor cells.[1][2][3]
