Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Lazcluze (lazertinib) at Low or No Cost

The Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Program offers Lazcluze (lazertinib) at no cost for up to one year to eligible patients who meet income requirements and have no prescription insurance coverage.[1][2] This guide explains eligibility, application steps, and support options in simple terms to help you access this important lung cancer treatment.

About Lazcluze (lazertinib)

Lazcluze (lazertinib) is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in adults with specific genetic mutations, like EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations.[1] It works as a targeted therapy by blocking signals that allow cancer cells to grow, often used alone or with other drugs like amivantamab (Rybrevant). Your doctor will confirm if it's right for your condition. Common side effects may include rash, diarrhea, and mouth sores—discuss these with your healthcare provider. Always take it exactly as prescribed, typically once daily with or without food.[1][2]

Lazcluze is made by Janssen Biotech, Inc., part of Johnson & Johnson, which runs this assistance program to help patients who can't afford their medicine due to limited income or no insurance.[1][5]

Who Qualifies for the Program?

To qualify, you must:

• Live in the United States or Puerto Rico.
• Have no prescription drug insurance coverage (uninsured for meds).[1][2][6]
• Meet household income guidelines based on Federal Poverty Level (FPL)—exact thresholds vary by family size and are reviewed case-by-case.[2][6]
• Have a valid prescription from a U.S.-licensed doctor for outpatient use.[2][6]

Special notes for Medicare Part D patients: You may qualify if you're not eligible for Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) and spend more than 4% of your gross annual household income on prescription drugs. Provide proof like pharmacy reports or Explanation of Benefits (EOB).[2][7]

Patients with commercial, employer, Medicare, or Medicaid coverage that doesn't fully cover costs may also qualify if facing affordability challenges, but primary eligibility is for those with no insurance coverage.[7][8]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

Income limits are not fixed percentages of FPL in program details but are assessed individually. Best practice is to submit proof like your most recent 1040 or 1040-SR tax return.[3] For Puerto Rico, include additional financial docs like Form 482.[3]

Here's a general guide based on typical PAP structures (confirm with program as levels adjust yearly):

Tip: Income includes wages, Social Security, etc. No income? Explain support sources.[3] Program reviews on a case-by-case basis.[1]

Insurance Requirements

You must have no insurance coverage for prescription drugs. Submit copies of insurance cards (front/back) if any, to confirm.[2][3] If underinsured or Medicare patients spend >4% income on meds, you may still qualify with proof.[2][7] The program does not cover patients with full coverage—check Janssen CarePath for other savings options.[8]
