The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved tepotinib for reimbursement as a monotherapy treatment option for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring alterations leading mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor gene exon 14 (METex14) skipping, who require systemic therapy following prior treatment with immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy.

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:

As monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring alterations leading to mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor gene exon 14 (METex14) skipping, who require systemic therapy following prior treatment with immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy.
