Selcaxen contains Selpercatinib 40 mg, a selective RET kinase inhibitor used to treat certain advanced cancers driven by RET gene fusions or RET mutations. It is prescribed only after laboratory testing confirms an eligible RET alteration.
Selcaxen is indicated for selected patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer requiring systemic therapy.
Selpercatinib blocks the activity of abnormal RET (Rearranged during Transfection) kinase proteins, which can drive the growth and spread of certain cancers. By inhibiting RET signaling, it helps reduce cancer cell proliferation and may slow disease progression in patients whose tumors carry eligible RET alterations.
