Overview
Burosumab-twza is a human immunoglobulin G subclass 1 (IgG1), anti-human fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) antibody produced by recombinant DNA technology using Chinese hamster ovary cells. Burosumab-twza is composed of two heavy chain (γ1-chain) molecules and two light chain (κ-chain) molecules. Each heavy chain has an N-linked carbohydrate moiety at asparagine 297 (Asn297). The molecular weight of burosumab-twza determined by mass spectrometry is approximately 147,000. CRYSVITA (burosumab-twza) injection for subcutaneous administration is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent and colorless to pale brown-yellow solution in a single-dose vial. Each 1 mL of solution contains 10 mg, 20 mg or 30 mg of burosumab-twza, L-histidine (1.55 mg), L-methionine (1.49 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.5 mg), D-sorbitol (45.91 mg) in Water for Injection, USP. Hydrochloric acid may be used to adjust to a pH of 6.25.
How to use
For subcutaneous use only ( 2 ) Prior to starting CRYSVITA, discontinue oral phosphate and/or active vitamin D analogs for one week ( 2.1 ) Pediatric XLH (6 months and older): For patients who weigh less than 10 kg, starting dose regimen is 1 mg/kg of body weight rounded to the nearest 1 mg, administered every two weeks ( 2.2 ) For patients who weigh 10 kg and greater, starting dose regimen is 0.8 mg/kg of body weight rounded to the nearest 10 mg, administered every two weeks. The minimum starting dose is 10 mg up to a maximum dose of 90 mg. ( 2.2 ) Dose may be increased up to approximately 2 mg/kg (maximum 90 mg), administered every two weeks to achieve normal serum phosphorus. ( 2.2 ) Adult XLH: Dose regimen is 1 mg/kg body weight rounded to the nearest 10 mg up to a maximum dose of 90 mg administered every four weeks. ( 2.3 ) Pediatric TIO (2 years and older): Starting dose is 0.4 mg/kg of body weight rounded to the nearest 10 mg every 2 weeks. Dose may be increased up to 2 mg/kg not to exceed 180 mg, administered every two weeks. ( 2.4 ) Adult TIO: Starting dose is 0.5 mg/kg every four weeks. Dose may be increased up to 2 mg/kg not to exceed 180 mg, administered every two weeks. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Important Information Prior to Initiation of CRYSVITA Prior to starting CRYSVITA, discontinue oral phosphate and/or active vitamin D analogs (e.g. calcitriol, paricalcitol,…

The following adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hyperphosphatemia and Risk of Nephrocalcinosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypercalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) Injection Site Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥25% in the CRYSVITA group and > Active Control) in pediatric XLH patients are: pyrexia, injection site reaction, cough, vomiting, pain in extremity, headache, tooth abscess, dental caries. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions (>5% and in at least 2 patients more than placebo) in adult XLH patients are: back pain, headache, tooth infection, restless legs syndrome, vitamin D decreased, dizziness, constipation, muscle spasms, blood phosphorus increased. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions (>10%) in TIO patients are: tooth abscess, muscle spasms, dizziness, constipation, injection site reaction, rash, and headache.

Warnings
Important safety information
Hypersensitivity : Discontinue CRYSVITA if serious hypersensitivity reactions occur and initiate appropriate medical treatment. ( 5.1 ) Hyperphosphatemia and Risk of Nephrocalcinosis : For patients already taking CRYSVITA, dose interruption and/or dose reduction may be required based on a patient's serum phosphorus levels. ( 5.2 , 6.1 ) Hypercalcemia : Increases in serum calcium been reported. Monitor serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in patients at high risk for hypercalcemia before and during treatment. ( 5.3 ) Injection Site Reactions : Administration of CRYSVITA may result in local injection site reactions. Discontinue CRYSVITA if severe injection site reactions occur and administer appropriate medical treatment. ( 5.4 , 6.1 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. rash, urticaria) have been reported in patients with CRYSVITA. Discontinue CRYSVITA if serious hypersensitivity reactions occur and initiate appropriate medical treatment [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 5.2 Hyperphosphatemia and Risk of Nephrocalcinosis Increases in serum phosphorus to above the upper limit of normal may be associated with an increased risk of nephrocalcinosis. For patients already taking CRYSVITA, dose interruption and/or dose reduction may be required based on a patient's serum phosphorus levels. Patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia who undergo treatment of the…
Interactions
Oral Phosphate and Active Vitamin D Analogs Concomitant use of CRYSVITA with oral phosphate and/or active vitamin D analogs will increase phosphate concentrations greater than expected with CRYSVITA alone. This increase may result in hyperphosphatemia which can induce nephrocalcinosis. Concomitant use of CRYSVITA with oral phosphate and/or active vitamin D analogs is contraindicated.
