Capmatinib hydrochloride monohydrate is a component for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer targeting specific genetic mutations.
MFDS ingredient code M281756
Capmatinib hydrochloride monohydrate is a targeted anticancer drug used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with MET gene mutations. This component inhibits the MET receptor tyrosine kinase, which is involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. It is included in medications for the purpose of inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells.
Capmatinib hydrochloride monohydrate binds to the MET receptor on the surface of cancer cells, blocking its activity. This interferes with the signaling that allows cancer cells to grow and divide, slowing the progression of cancer. It acts selectively on cancer cells with MET gene mutations.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Capmatinib hydrochloride monohydrate is one of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, specialized for MET gene mutations unlike other targeted therapies. As a result, the effectiveness of treatment can vary among non-small cell lung cancer patients depending on the presence of MET mutations. It has a clear target compared to other anticancer drugs, leading to a different side effect profile.
