General information

Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Erdafitinib inhibits 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. Erdafitinib inhibits FGFR-related phosphorylation and signal transduction, resulting in inhibition and tumor cell death in FGFR-overexpressing tumor cells.[1][2][3]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a

  • Monitor for hyperphosphatemia; dose adjustments may be needed per package insert[1]

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the package insert.[1]
