What does it do?

Erdafitinib is an anticancer ingredient that inhibits the FGFR (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor) target. It is primarily used to suppress the growth and division of cancer cells in cancer patients with FGFR gene mutations.

Erdafitinib binds to the FGFR protein on the surface of cancer cells, blocking its signaling. This reduces the signals necessary for cancer cell proliferation and survival, producing an anti-cancer growth effect.
