    DOSAGE & INDICATIONS

    For the treatment urothelial carcinoma.
    NOTE: Select patients for treatment based on the presence of susceptible FGFR genetic alterations in tumor specimens. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of FGFR genetic alterations in urothelial cancer is available at www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics
    For the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations, that has progressed during or following at least one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy.
    Oral dosage
    Adults

    8 mg PO once daily initially. After 14 to 21 days of treatment, increase the dose to 9 mg PO once daily if the serum phosphate level is less than 5.5 mg/dL and there are no ocular disorders or grade 2 or higher adverse reactions. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Treatment of progressive, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with FGFR3 gene mutations or FGFR gene fusions with erdafitinib (n = 87) resulted in a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 40%, with 3% complete responses; the median duration of response was 5.6 months. Responders included patients who had previously not responded to anti-PD-L1/PD-1 therapy. In a subgroup analysis by FGFR genetic alterations, the ORR was 49% in patients with an FGFR3 point mutation (n = 74), 16% in patients with an FGFR2/3 fusion (n = 25), and 0% in patients with an FGFR2 fusion.[64064]

    CONTRAINDICATIONS / PRECAUTIONS

    Hyperphosphatemia

    Erdafitinib can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, cutaneous calcinosis, non-uremic calciphylaxis and vascular calcification. Avoid coadministration with agents that alter serum phosphate levels before the initial dose increase period (days 14 to 21), as this may interfere with the determination of the initial dose of erdafitinib. Monitor phosphate levels monthly for hyperphosphatemia and follow dose modification guidelines when required. In patients with hyperphosphatemia, restrict phosphate intake to 600 mg to 800 mg daily. If serum phosphate is above 7 mg/dL, consider adding an oral phosphate binder until the serum phosphate level returns to less than 5.5 mg/dL. Hyperphosphatemia is a commonly reported adverse reaction in patients treated with erdafitinib, as increases in phosphate levels are a pharmacodynamic effect of erdafitinib.[64064]

    Ocular disease, visual disturbance

    Use erdafitinib with caution in patients with a history of ocular disease. Erdafitinib can cause ocular disorders, including central serous retinopathy (CSR)/retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) resulting in visual field defect. Dry eye symptoms were also commonly reported; all patients should receive dry eye prophylaxis with ocular demulcents as needed. Perform monthly ophthalmological examinations during the first 4 months of treatment and every 3 months thereafter, and urgently at any time for visual disturbance; examinations should include an assessment of visual acuity, slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, and optical coherence tomography. An interruption of therapy, discontinuation of therapy, or dose reduction may be necessary for ocular adverse reactions.[64064]

    Poor metabolizers

    Monitor for increased erdafitinib-related adverse reactions in patients who are known or suspected to be poor metabolizers with the CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype; erdafitinib plasma concentrations were predicted to be higher in patients with this genotype.

    Pregnancy

    Pregnancy should be avoided by females of reproductive potential during erdafitinib treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose. Although there are no adequately controlled studies in pregnant women, erdafitinib can cause fetal harm or death when administered during pregnancy based on its mechanism of action and animal studies. Women who are pregnant or who become pregnant while receiving erdafitinib should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. In an embryo-fetal toxicity study, oral administration of erdafitinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused malformations and embryofetal death at less than 0.1% of total human exposures at the maximum recommended human dose based on AUC, including embryo-fetal death, major blood vessel malformations and other vascular anomalies, limb malformations (e.g., ectrodactyly, absent or misshapen long bones), an increased incidence of skeletal anomalies in multiple bones (e.g., vertebrae, sternebrae, ribs), and decreased fetal weight.

    Contraception requirements, infertility, male-mediated teratogenicity, pregnancy testing, reproductive risk

    Counsel patients about the reproductive risk and contraception requirements during erdafitinib treatment. Erdafitinib can be teratogenic if taken by the mother during pregnancy. Females of reproductive potential should avoid pregnancy and use effective contraception during and for 1 month after the last dose of erdafitinib. Due to the risk of male-mediated teratogenicity, men with female partners of reproductive potential should also use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose. Females of reproductive potential should undergo pregnancy testing prior to initiation of erdafitinib. Women who become pregnant while receiving erdafitinib should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Although there are no data regarding the effect of erdafitinib on human fertility, female infertility has been observed in animal studies.

    Breast-feeding

    Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from erdafitinib, advise women to discontinue breast-feeding during treatment and for 1 month after the final dose. It is not known whether erdafitinib is present in human milk, although many drugs are excreted in human milk.

    PREGNANCY AND LACTATION

    Pregnancy

    Pregnancy should be avoided by females of reproductive potential during erdafitinib treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose. Although there are no adequately controlled studies in pregnant women, erdafitinib can cause fetal harm or death when administered during pregnancy based on its mechanism of action and animal studies. Women who are pregnant or who become pregnant while receiving erdafitinib should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. In an embryo-fetal toxicity study, oral administration of erdafitinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused malformations and embryofetal death at less than 0.1% of total human exposures at the maximum recommended human dose based on AUC, including embryo-fetal death, major blood vessel malformations and other vascular anomalies, limb malformations (e.g., ectrodactyly, absent or misshapen long bones), an increased incidence of skeletal anomalies in multiple bones (e.g., vertebrae, sternebrae, ribs), and decreased fetal weight.

    Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from erdafitinib, advise women to discontinue breast-feeding during treatment and for 1 month after the final dose. It is not known whether erdafitinib is present in human milk, although many drugs are excreted in human milk.

    MECHANISM OF ACTION

    Erdafitinib is a kinase inhibitor that binds to and inhibits the enzymatic activity of FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4 based on in vitro data. It also binds to RET, CSF1R, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FLT4, KIT, and VEGF2. Erdafitinib inhibited FGFR phosphorylation and signaling and decreased cell viability in cell lines expressing FGFR genetic alterations including point mutations, amplifications, and fusions. It demonstrated antitumor activity in FGFR-expressing cell lines and xenograft models derived from tumor types, including bladder cancer.

    PHARMACOKINETICS

    Erdafitinib is administered orally. It is 99.8% protein bound, primarily to alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. The mean apparent volume of distribution (Vd) of erdafitinib is 29 liters. The mean total apparent clearance (CL/F) was 0.362 L/hour, with a mean effective half-life of 59 hours. Steady-state was achieved after 2 weeks with once-daily dosing, and the mean accumulation ratio was 4-fold. Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled erdafitinib, approximately 69% of the dose was recovered in feces (19% as unchanged drug) and 19% in urine (13% as unchanged drug).[64064]
     
    Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP2C9, CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
    Erdafitinib is primarily metabolized by CYP2C9 (39%) and CYP3A4 (20%); unchanged erdafitinib was the major drug-related moiety in plasma and there were no circulating metabolites. Erdafitinib is a time-dependent inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A4 in vitro; however, the effect of erdafitinib on a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate is unknown. Erdafitinib is also a substrate and inhibitor of P-gp in vitro, although P-gp inhibitors are not expected to affect erdafitinib exposure to a clinically relevant extent; erdafitinib may increase plasma concentrations of P-gp substrates. Erdafitinib is an inhibitor of OCT2 in vitro.[64064]

    Oral Route

    Following administration of erdafitinib 8 mg once daily, the mean steady-state maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) was 1,399 ng/mL (CV, 51%), mean area under the curve (AUC) was 29,268 ng x hour/mL (CV, 60%), and mean minimum observed plasma concentration (Cmin) was 936 ng/mL (CV, 65%). The median time to achieve peak plasma concentration (Tmax) was 2.5 hours (range, 2 to 6 hours). Following single and repeat once daily dosing, erdafitinib exposure (Cmax and AUC) increased proportionally across the dose range of 0.5 mg to 12 mg (0.06 to 1.3 times the maximum approved recommended dose). Food did not have a clinically meaningful effect on erdafitinib pharmacokinetics.[64064]
