Burosumab (INN, trade name Crysvita) known as KRN23 is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia.[1][2][3] Burosumab was approved by the FDA for its intended purpose, in patients aged 1 year and older, on 17 April 2018.[4] The FDA approval fell under both the breakthrough therapy and orphan drug designations.[4]
This drug was developed by Ultragenyx and is in a collaborative license agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin.[5]
While burosumab is effective for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has raised concerns regarding the incremental cost-effectiveness of the new treatment.[6]
