CRYSVITA is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for TIO
-
CRYSVITA is an approved treatment for FGF23-related hypophosphatemia in TIO in adults and children 2 years of age or older when the tumor cannot be located or removed
-
CRYSVITA works to raise the amount of phosphorus in the body by decreasing FGF23 activity
The underlying cause of hypophosphatemia in TIO is too much FGF23
1.
Tumors in the body produce too much of a hormone called fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)
2.
Extra FGF23 leads to the body releasing too much phosphorus through the urine
3.
Low phosphorus levels can lead to weakened bones and the symptoms of TIO
CRYSVITA blocks FGF23
1.
CRYSVITA blocks FGF23
2.
This helps restore phosphorus reabsorption in the kidneys
3.
Phosphorus can then be deposited into the bones
