CRYSVITA
CRYSVITA (burosumab-twza) is a fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). It is approved for use in adult and pediatric patients aged 6 months and older for XLH, and patients aged 2 years and older for TIO. For TIO, the therapy is specifically indicated for FGF23-related hypophosphatemia associated with phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors that cannot be curatively resected or localized.
How CRYSVITA Works
Burosumab-twza binds to and inhibits the biological activity of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In these conditions, excess FGF23 suppresses the kidneys' ability to reabsorb phosphate and produce 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D. By blocking FGF23, the drug restores renal phosphate reabsorption and increases the serum concentration of 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D.
