Description

Kinase inhibitor that inhibits FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4
Used for certain types of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma
Adjust doses based on serum phosphate levels and perform regular ophthalmological examinations

Dosage And 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]

Drug Interactions

Adagrasib: (Major) Avoid coadministration of erdafitinib and adagrasib due to the risk of increased plasma concentrations of erdafitinib. If concomitant use is unavoidable, closely monitor for erdafitinib-related adverse reactions and consider dose modifications as clinically appropriate. If adagrasib is discontinued, the dose of erdafitinib may be increased in the absence of drug-related toxicity. Erdafitinib is a CYP3A and CYP2C9 substrate and adagrasib is a strong CYP3A and moderate CYP2C9 inhibitor. The mean ratio for the AUC of erdafitinib was 134% when coadministered with another strong CYP3A inhibitor.
Alfentanil: (Major) Avoid coadministration of erdafitinib with alfentanil due to the potential for altered plasma concentrations of alfentanil which may lead to loss of activity or increased toxicity of alfentanil. Alfentanil is a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate with a narrow therapeutic range. Erdafitinib is a time dependent inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A4; the effect of erdafitinib on a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate is unknown.

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]

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.
