Correct answer: D — Continue pemigatinib, start phosphate-lowering therapy and monitor serum phosphate weekly
For a first phosphate value above 7 but no more than 10 mg/dL, the PEMAZYRE SmPC says to continue the current pemigatinib dose, start phosphate-lowering therapy and monitor weekly. Withholding follows if phosphate has not fallen below 7 mg/dL within two weeks; recurrent elevation while on a binder triggers a one-level dose reduction. Immediate discontinuation or calcitriol is not the first licensed response.
