About This Medication

# Taiho Oncology Patient Support Program Patient Guide: How to Get LYTGOBI (futibatinib) at Low or No Cost LYTGOBI (futibatinib) is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of advanced cancer, and the **Taiho Oncology Patient Support Program** helps eligible patients access it at low or no cost through free medication for uninsured/underinsured patients or co-pay assistance for commercially insured ones. ## About LYTGOBI (futibatinib) LYTGOBI is an oral targeted therapy developed by **Taiho Oncology, Inc.** for adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) harboring FGFR2 fusions or other FGFR2 alterations. It works by selectively inhibiting fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), helping to slow cancer growth in patients with specific genetic mutations. Always consult your doctor to confirm if LYTGOBI is right for you, as it requires genetic testing and is part of a personalized treatment plan. Common side effects may include dry mouth, diarrhea, nail toxicity, and fatigue—your healthcare team will monitor these closely.[1][2] The **Taiho Oncology Patient Support Program** provides comprehensive help beyond just affordability, including benefits investigation, prior authorization support, appeals assistance, specialty pharmacy coordination, and optional nurse navigators for education and treatment guidance. This guide focuses on the financial assistance to make LYTGOBI more accessible.[1][2][3] ## Who Qualifies?
