ATC Group: L01EN Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors

The World Health Organization's ATC classification organizes medical drugs based on therapeutic properties, chemical composition, and anatomy. It helps make essential medicines readily available globally and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Active ingredients in L01EN

Active Ingredient Description
Erdafitinib

Erdafitinib is a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Erdafitinib increases serum phosphate concentration, a secondary effect of FGFR inhibition.

Futibatinib

Constitutive fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signalling can support the proliferation and survival of malignant cells. Futibatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that irreversibly inhibits FGFR 1, 2, 3, and 4 by covalent binding.

Pemigatinib

Pemigatinib is a kinase inhibitor of FGFR1, 2 and 3 which inhibits FGFR phosphorylation and signalling and decreases cell viability in cells expressing FGFR genetic alterations, including point mutations, amplifications, and fusions or rearrangements. FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements are strong oncogenic drivers and are the most common FGFR alteration occurring, almost exclusively, in 10-16% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
