CRYSVITA® (burosumab-twza) directly targets the
biological activity of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)

CRYSVITA is an FGF23-blocking antibody1

In XLH

XLH is caused by a variant in the PHEX gene, which leads to increased FGF23 activity through an unknown mechanism. This suppresses renal tubular phosphate reabsorption and renal production of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, which plays a role in phosphate absorption in the small intestine.1,2

How CRYSVITA® binds to excess fibroblast growth factor 23

With CRYSVITA

CRYSVITA binds to and inhibits the biological activity of FGF23, restoring renal phosphate reabsorption and increasing the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D.1

Restoring phosphate homeostasis

Based on preclinical studies, inhibition of FGF23 is thought to restore phosphate homeostasis by promoting renal phosphate reabsorption through increased renal expression of sodium phosphate cotransporters and by increasing the renal expression of 1α-hydroxylase, a vitamin D-metabolizing enzyme involved in active vitamin D production.3,4
