What is LOX-435?

LOX-435 is a investigational oral which wasd developed as a therapy for solid tumors, it functions by selectively blocking fgfr3 > reducing off target effects on other fgfr isoforms.

What does fgfr-3 inhibiting do?

Fgfr-3 limits the proloferation of chrondrocytes in growth plates, by inhibiting this gene it relieves the brake on chrondrocytes leading to improved endochondral bone and increased bone elongation.

Why might LOX-435 be better than erda?

Unlike LOX-435, erdafitnib is a pan-fgfr inhibitor. This causes unnecessary toxicity from inhibiting the fgfr1/2/4 genes. LOX-435 is a highly selective fgfr-3 inhibitor which makes it a way safer option.

Summary

LOX-435 is a promising investigational selective fgfr-3 inhibitor with a better saftey-profile than erdafitnib making it a great additive to your own stack.
