Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Emrelis itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Emrelis is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Emrelis is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

EMRELIS is a c-Met-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high c-Met protein overexpression [≥50% of tumor cells with strong (3+) staining], as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received a prior systemic therapy.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
