WHAT TABRECTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT TABRECTA IS
Tabrecta contains the active substance capmatinib, which belongs to a
class of medicines called
protein kinase inhibitors.
WHAT TABRECTA IS USED FOR
Tabrecta is a medicine used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer
called non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC). It is used if the lung cancer is advanced or has spread to
other parts of the body (metastatic)
and is caused by a change (mutation) in a gene that makes an enzyme
called MET.
Your tumour or blood will be tested for certain mutations in this
gene. Your cancer is likely to respond
to treatment with Tabrecta if the test result is positive.
HOW TABRECTA WORKS
Tabrecta helps to slow down or stop the growth and spread of your lung
cancer if it is caused by a
mutation in a gene that makes MET.
