What is “Tabrecta” (Tabrecta/ТАBRECTA) used for?
Tabrecta is the brand name for capmatinib, an oral medicine used to treat certain forms of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have specific genetic changes. It targets tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations.
What does “MET exon 14 skipping” mean?
“MET exon 14 skipping” refers to a mutation pattern where the tumor’s DNA skips an exon in the MET gene. This can drive cancer growth, and MET-directed drugs like capmatinib are designed to inhibit that pathway.
How is Tabrecta taken?
Tabrecta is taken by mouth (as tablets/capsules depending on the product form), and dosing can depend on factors such as tolerance and side effects. Your oncology team should provide the exact dose and schedule for your situation.
What side effects do people ask about with Tabrecta?
Commonly reported side effects for MET inhibitors like capmatinib can include things like nausea, swelling (edema), shortness of breath, fatigue, and abnormal liver tests. If you tell me what you’re most concerned about, I can narrow this down to the most relevant side effects and what clinicians typically monitor.
