Tepotinib 450mg tablets $300

Tepotinib is a treatment for NSCLC patients who have a specific type of cancer mutation in their MET gene. The main stuff in Tepotinib stops the MET pathway by blocking a protein called MET. This comes in pills, each one’s 225 mg.

For grownups, the go-to dose is 450 mg, and ideally, you take this with some grub each day. Your pills come in packs with 30 capsules in each one. It’s a pill that doctors suggest for NSCLC patients who have really bad cancer that’s already been treated.

It keeps MET from doing its stuff, which slows the cancer down from spreading and growing. What Tepotinib does is stick to a part of MET to prevent it from turning on other cells’ signals. Before you can take it, you have to get a special kind of test that can spot changes in your MET gene.

Since it’s super specific, your doctor decides if it’s a good fit for you based on this authorized test.
