Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Synribo (omacetaxine mepesuccinate) at Low or No Cost

Synribo (omacetaxine mepesuccinate) is a prescription medication used to treat adults with chronic or accelerated phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have resistance or intolerance to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).[1][4][10] The Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program provides eligible patients with Teva medicines, including Synribo, at no cost if they meet specific U.S. residency, insurance, income, and prescription requirements.[2][3][6]

About Synribo

Synribo is injected subcutaneously and is FDA-approved for home administration after preparation by a healthcare professional.[1][4] It targets CML patients who no longer respond to or tolerate standard TKIs. Treatment involves cycles of twice-daily injections for 14 days followed by 28-day rest periods, with adjustments based on response.[10] Teva's SYNCare program complements assistance by offering home delivery of prepared doses via partners like Diplomat Pharmacy or Coram Specialty Pharmacy, supplies for self-administration, injection training, educational resources, and 24/7 support.[1][4][7]

Important safety note: Synribo must be prepared in a healthcare facility; patients or caregivers administer under guidance. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report side effects like low blood counts, infections, or bleeding.[1][10]

Who Qualifies for Teva Cares?

To qualify, you must:

• Reside in the U.S. or its territories.[6]
• Have a valid U.S. prescription for a covered Teva medicine like Synribo.[6]
• Meet income eligibility (specific Federal Poverty Level (FPL) thresholds not detailed publicly; program assesses household income).[2][6]
• Satisfy insurance criteria: uninsured, underinsured, or with coverage that doesn't cover the full cost. No participation in alternative funding programs that require Teva Cares enrollment.[2][6]

Patients with income below 150% FPL need proof of denial from Medicare's Low-Income Subsidy (LIS/Extra Help).[6] The program is free—no fees for application, enrollment, or delivery.[2]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

Teva Cares uses household income relative to FPL, but exact percentages (e.g., 400%, 500%) are not specified in public details—contact the program for your situation.[2][6] Here's a general guide based on 2026 FPL (adjusts annually; verify current levels):

Examples approximate; program confirms eligibility. No employer/insurance ties to alternative programs allowed.[2]

Insurance Requirements

Provide details of any health insurance or prescription coverage.[6] Uninsured applicants qualify if other criteria met. Insured patients may be eligible if coverage gaps exist, but prior authorization denial letters are required for incomplete applications.[6] Medicare patients under 150% FPL must show LIS/Extra Help denial.[6] Teva Cares bridges gaps but excludes those in conflicting funding setups.[2]
