Capivasertib, sold under the brand name Truqap, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of breast cancer.[3][4] It is taken by mouth.[3]
The most common adverse reactions include diarrhea, cutaneous adverse reactions, increased random glucose, decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, nausea, fatigue, decreased leukocytes, increased triglycerides, decreased neutrophils, increased creatinine, vomiting, and stomatitis.[5]
In November 2023, capivasertib was approved in the United States for people with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer when used in combination with fulvestrant.[5][6][7] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[8]
