Balversa Uses

Balversa (Erdafitinib) is a kinase inhibitor used to treat adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma that has susceptible FGFR3/FGFR2 genetic alterations and progressed during or after at least one line of prior platinum-containing chemotherapy including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Dosage: The recommended starting dose of Erdafitinib is 8 mg (two 4 mg tablets) orally once a day, with a dose increase to 9 mg (three 3 mg tablets) once a day based on the serum phosphate (PO4) levels and tolerability at 14-21 days. Swallow tablets of Erdafitinib whole either with or without food. If vomiting occurs any time after taking the erdafitinib dose, the next dose should be administered the next day. Treatment should continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. If a dose of erdafitinib is missed, it can be taken as soon as possible on the same day.
