METex14 Skip NSCLC Generic

So, Capmatinib is this special medicine that’s like a one-two punch for a type of lung cancer that has these specific genetic changes. It’s like it has a really good filter that only blocks this one specific part of the cancer cell, keeping it from growing. You can get Capmatinib in two sizes, either 150 mg or 200 mg in those film-coated tablets.

Doctors usually recommend taking 400 mg of this stuff twice a day. It doesn’t matter if you take it with or without food, it’s pretty flexible like that. One bottle has 60 pills, which should be enough for about a month if you take it as the doctor told you.

This specific gene swap, called the MET exon 14 skip, is found in about 13% of lung cancer types. Capmatinib is like a key that fits the lock of this gene swap, aiming at the MET path that’s often turned up too high in these cancers. So, by being a MET inhibitor, this drug is part of a new wave of drugs changing how we treat lung cancer, focusing on the genetic stuff that’s different in each person.
