How much does Ripretinib cost?

Ripretinib is used to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), a tumor that grows in the stomach, intestine (intestine), or esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach) in people who have been treated with other drugs before. In humans, imatinib is included. Ripetinib is a kinase inhibitor drug. It works by blocking the activity of an abnormal protein that sends a reproduction signal to cancer cells, which helps slow or prevent the spread of cancer cells.

Repetinib is available as an oral tablet. It is usually taken once a day, with or without food, around the same time each day. Do not take more or less than prescribed by your doctor. If you vomit after taking repetinib, do not take another dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. During treatment, your doctor may need to temporarily or permanently discontinue treatment or reduce the dose of repetitinib, depending on the drug's effectiveness and side effects experienced.

The original drug of Ripetinib has been marketed in China and has been approved by the National Medical Insurance Bureau to enter the scope of Class B medical insurance, but it is limited to patients who meet the indications. The price of each box of 50mg*30 tablets may be around 30,000 yuan. The expensive price may increase the pressure on families with heavy financial burdens. The US version of Ripetinib Specifications50mg*90 tablets sold overseas may be priced around RMB 77,000 per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates). The ingredients of foreign original drugs are basically the same as those of domestic original drugs. Currently, there is no generic drug of Ripetinib produced and marketed overseas.
