Uses

TEPMETKO is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mesenchymal-epithelial transition ( MET ) exon 14 skipping alterations. TEPMETKO is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mesenchymal-epithelial transition ( MET ) exon 14 skipping alterations.

How it works

Tepotinib is a kinase inhibitor that targets MET, including variants with exon 14 skipping alterations. Tepotinib inhibits hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-dependent and -independent MET phosphorylation and MET-dependent downstream signaling pathways. Tepotinib also inhibited melatonin 2 and imidazoline 1 receptors at clinically achievable concentrations. In vitro, tepotinib inhibited tumor cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of MET-dependent tumor cells. In mice implanted with tumor cell lines with oncogenic activation of MET, including MET ex14 skipping alterations, tepotinib inhibited tumor growth, led to sustained inhibition of MET phosphorylation, and, in one model, decreased the formation of metastases.

Permanently discontinue TEPMETKO in patients diagnosed with ILD/pneumonitis of any severity. Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TEPMETKO based on severity. Pancreatic Toxicity: Monitor amylase and lipase. Embryo-fetal toxicity: TEPMETKO can cause fetal harm. Advise of potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception.
