We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers that supply your medication.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Cometriq assistance, we will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. We will work with your healthcare provider to prepare and submit all the documents required for you to enroll.

What is Cometriq?

Cometriq is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured for Exelixis, Inc. Cometriq is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Cabozantinib does not cure advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), or advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. Instead, it helps to slow the progression of cancer, potentially enabling patients to live longer.

Gastrointestinal perforations occurred in 3% and fistula formation in 1% of treated patients. Discontinue treatment in patients with perforation or fistula. Severe, sometimes fatal, hemorrhage including hemoptysis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 3% of treated patients. Do not administer to patients with severe hemorrhage.

What doses of Cometriq are available?

Cometriq is available in capsule form, in the following doses: 20 mg, 80 mg.

Take 140 mg orally once a day with a full glass of water. Take on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after food. Do not open a Cometriq capsule. Swallow the capsule whole. Take until you no longer experience clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

If you miss a dose take the medicine as soon as you can. Skip the missed dose if your next dose is due in less than 12 hours. Do not use two doses at one time.

Please read the patient information and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
