Serpatinib belongs to a group of drugs called antineoplastic agents (cancer drugs). It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Serpatinib is used to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic (cancer that has spread) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), thyroid cancer, and solid tumors in patients whose tumors have RET fusion-positive genes. It's used on patients who need oral or injectable medications and received radioactive iodine, but it didn't work. Before using this drug, your doctor will perform a test to check for RET gene fusions.
