Your monthly Libtayo cost savings if eligible

The Libtayo patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 per month for each medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Libtayo, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Libtayo patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Libtayo assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Libtayo patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Libtayo patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Libtayo.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Libtayo assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Libtayo patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Libtayo.

What is Libtayo?

Libtayo is an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved cancer immunotherapy manufactured by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC., for patients above 18 years of age, used as a monotherapy treatment for the following indications:

  • metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (mCSCC) or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (laCSCC) who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation.  CSCC is the second most common skin cancer in the U.S.
  • locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) previously treated with a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HHI) or for whom an HHI is not appropriate. Patients with locally advanced BCC given the immunotherapy experienced an objective response rate (ORR) of 32%.
  • first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression [tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50%] as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations, and is locally advanced where patients are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation or metastatic.

The immune system works by creating antibodies, which are proteins that attach to antigens found on the surface of a cell. The antibody “calls” the immune system to attack the cell it is attached to, resulting in the immune system killing the cell. Monoclonal antibodies are created in a lab to attach to the antigens found on specific types of cancer cells. These antibodies can work in different ways, including stimulating the immune system to kill the cell, blocking cell growth, or other functions necessary for cell growth.

Libtayo (cemiplimab-rwlc) is a type of monoclonal antibody therapy, which works to stimulate the immune system to destroy cancer cells. Cemiplimab-rwlc works as a form of immunotherapy by binding to the “programmed death receptor” (PD1) found on T-cells to stimulate the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.

What doses of Libtayo are available?

Libtayo is available in injection form in the following dose: 350 mg/7 mL (50 mg/mL) solution in a single-dose vial, for intravenous use.

Before administering, visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration. LIBTAYO is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to a pale yellow solution that may contain trace amounts of translucent to white particles. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, is discolored, or contains extraneous particulate matter other than trace amounts of translucent to white particles.

To prepare, Withdraw 7 mL from a vial and dilute with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a final concentration between 1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL. Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake. Allow the diluted solution to come to room temperature prior to administration

The recommended dosage of Libtayo is 350 mg administered as an intravenous infusion (directly into a vein) over 30 minutes every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious. Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during your treatment with Libtayo.
