Overview

Tabrecta is a medicine used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), when the cancer is advanced and its cells have particular genetic mutations (changes) leading to ‘mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor gene exon 14 (METex14) skipping’. This means that the cancer cells make an abnormal form of a protein called MET, because a part of the MET gene known as exon 14 is not used.

Tabrecta is used when the patient needs further treatment after receiving immunotherapy or platinum-based chemotherapy, or both.

Tabrecta contains the active substance capmatinib.
