Medical Description

Rahika tablet contains capmatinib, a targeted cancer medicine that blocks specific signals involving MET proteins that cause cancer cells to grow and spread. By blocking these signals, it stops the growth of lung cancer cells that carry a specific genetic mutation.

Rahika tablet is widely used to treat advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET exon 14 skipping mutations.

Common side effects of Rahika tablet include swelling in the legs or hands (edema), nausea, fatigue, vomiting, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, constipation, diarrhea, and abnormal liver or kidney blood tests.

Seek prompt medical attention if you experience new or worsening breathing problems, fever, or cough (signs of lung inflammation); signs of liver problems such as yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or upper right stomach pain; severe skin reactions; or sudden, severe swelling in your legs.

Rahika tablet comes as tablets taken by mouth under the supervision of a qualified medical oncologist.

How does this medicine work?

Rahika tablet contains capmatinib, a targeted cancer medicine that blocks a protein called MET.In some lung cancers, a change called a MET exon 14 skipping alteration makes MET signals overactive, causing cancer cells to grow and survive. Capmatinib blocks these signals, which can slow tumour growth and may cause cancer cells to die.

Your doctor will test a sample of your tumor tissue or a liquid biopsy (blood sample) using a specialized diagnostic test to confirm the presence of the MET exon 14 skipping mutation.
Peripheral edema (swelling of the legs, ankles, or hands) is a very common side effect of capmatinib. Inform your doctor; they may recommend supportive measures or adjust your treatment depending on the severity.
