How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (PEMAZYRE). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Pemigatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor that targets FGFR1, 2 and 3 with IC 50 values of less than 2 nM.

Pemigatinib also inhibited FGFR4 in vitro at a concentration approximately 100 times higher than those that inhibit FGFR1, 2, and 3.

How the body breaks it down

Pemigatinib is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 in vitro.

With food

Effect of Food Administration of PEMAZYRE with a high-fat and high-calorie meal (approximately 1000 calories with 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, and 500‑600 calories from fat) had no clinically significant effect on pemigatinib pharmacokinetics.
