Tepotinib, sold under the brand name Tepmetko, is a medication used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).[3] Specifically it is used in metastatic disease that has mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping.[3] It is taken by mouth.[3]

Common side effects include swelling, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea, muscle pain, low sodium, and shortness of breath.[3] Other side effects may include pneumonitis and liver problems.[3] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[3] It is a kinase inhibitor that blocks MET.[3][7]

Tepotinib was approved in Japan in 2020, the United States in 2021, and Europe in 2022.[3][8][9] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £7200 per month as of 2022.[9] This amount in the United States costs about 22,800 USD.[10]
