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

CRYSVITA® (burosumab-twza) is an FGF23 blocking antibody1

In XLH, excess FGF23 suppresses renal phosphate reabsorption and intestinal phosphate absorption.
In XLH, excess FGF23 suppresses renal phosphate reabsorption and intestinal phosphate absorption.

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 play a role in phosphate absorption in the small intestine.1,2

CRYSVITA binds and inhibits FGF23, restoring phosphate homeostasis.
CRYSVITA binds and inhibits FGF23, restoring phosphate homeostasis.

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

CRYSVITA leads to normalized serum phosphate levels.

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

CRYSVITA is a human monoclonal antibody specifically designed to inhibit the activity of FGF23
