![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Erdafitinib was granted FDA approval in April 2019, as a treatment for patients with locally advanced/metastatic bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) that carries FGFR2/3 genetic alterations, and that has progressed following treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. In clinical trial, responses to erdafitinib were observed in patients who had previously not responded to anti-PD-L1/PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy [4]. |
