Augtyro (Repotrectinib) for Lung Cancer

Overview
Augtyro is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Augtyro is also referred to by its drug name, repotrectinib.

Augtyro should be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician.
