Capmatinib is an oral small molecule kinase inhibitor that selectively targets the mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (MET), specifically targeting mutations that cause MET exon 14 skipping.

1. Drug name and main ingredients

1. Generic name : Capmatinib (Capmatinib)

2. Trade name : TABRECTA® (US marketing name )

3. Dosage form :Film-coated tablets

4. Main ingredients :Each tablet contains capmatinib 150mg or 200mg (in the form of succinate), and excipients include microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, etc.

2. Indications

Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) : For the treatment of adult patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutations confirmed by FDA-approved testing. This indication received accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response, and subsequent verification of clinical benefit may be required.

3. Specifications and properties

1. Specifications : 200mg

2. Properties : Film-coated tablets, smooth surface, white to off-white powder content.

IV. Usage and Dosage

1. Recommended dosage of : 400mg orally, twice a day (about 12 hours apart). It can be taken with food or on an empty stomach.

2. How to take : Swallow the tablet whole. Do not break, crush or chew.

3. Treatment of missed doses : If you miss a dose or vomit, there is no need to take a supplementary dose, just take the next dose as originally planned.

5. Dose adjustment

1. Adverse reaction adjustment : Reduce the dose to 300mg twice a day for the first time and to 200mg twice a day for the second time. If still not tolerated, permanently discontinue medication.

2. Abnormal liver function : Permanently discontinue the drug when ALT/AST is >3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) accompanied by an increase in bilirubin; if ALT/AST is simply elevated, the drug can be suspended and the dose reduced after recovery.

3. Renal insufficiency : Mild to moderate does not require adjustment, severe (CrCl<30mL/min) is not studied.

6. Medication precautions

1. Influence of diet : is not affected by food, but avoid taking it with aluminum/magnesium-containing antacids (an interval of 2 hours is required).

2. Photosensitivity reaction : May cause photosensitivity, sun protection is recommended.

3. Pulmonary toxicity : Monitor for new or worsening respiratory symptoms (such as cough, fever, dyspnea), and permanent discontinuation of the drug is required if interstitial lung disease (ILD) is suspected.

7. Medication for special groups

1. Pregnant women: : Disabled (animal experiments show teratogenicity).

2. Lactation : Breastfeeding is prohibited during treatment and within 1 week after the last dose.

3. Children : Safety has not been established.

4. U200c for the elderly: No need to adjust the dosage.

8. Adverse reactions

1. Common (≥20%) : Peripheral edema (52%), nausea (44%), fatigue (32%), vomiting (28%), dyspnea (24%), decreased appetite (21%).

5. Severe reactions :ILD/pneumonitis (4.5%, can be fatal), liver toxicity (ALT/AST increased by 13%, 6% grade 3-4).

9. Contraindications

There are no absolute contraindications, but use by people known to be allergic to ingredients should be avoided.

10. Drug interactions

1. Strong/moderate CYP3A inducer (such as rifampicin): Reduce efficacy, avoid combined use.

2. CYP1A2/P-gp/BCRP substrate (such as caffeine, digoxin): may increase its plasma concentration and the dose needs to be adjusted.

11. Storage method

1. Store in original packaging, moisture-proof, with built-in desiccant.

2. Storage temperature: 20-25°C (short-term fluctuation of 15-30°C is allowed). Discard if not used within 6 weeks after opening.

Note : Liver function, lung function and MET mutation status need to be monitored regularly during treatment. Avoid coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors (such as ketoconazole).
