Infigratinib Reduces Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) and Increases Blood Phosphate in Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia.

ABSTRACT: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by ectopic production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs). Acting on renal tubule cells, excess FGF23 decreases phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (1,25D) production, leading to hypophosphatemia, impaired bone mineralization, pain, and fractures. Fibronectin 1-fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FN1-FGFR1) gene fusions have been identified as possible drivers in up to 40% of resected PMTs. Based on the presumptive role of FGFR1 signaling by chimeric FN1-FGFR1 proteins, the effectiveness of infigratinib, a FGFR1-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was studied in an open-label, single-center, phase 2 trial. The primary endpoint was persistent normalization of bloo
