Tepotinib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of tepotinib during breastfeeding. Because tepotinib is 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, because of its potential toxicity in the breastfed infant and its half-life of 32 hours, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during tepotinib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
