About Qfitlia and its cost
What is this medication? Fruzaqla is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient fruquintinib, which is used to treat adults with metastatic colorectal cancer. This medication is specifically intended for patients who have already received previous treatments, such as fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan based chemotherapy. It is also used for patients who have previously been treated with an anti-VEGF therapy and, if their tumor is RAS wild-type, an anti-EGFR therapy. As a selective oral inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, Fruzaqla works by interfering with the process of angiogenesis. By blocking specific proteins that the body uses to create new blood vessels, the medication restricts the blood supply that tumors need to grow and spread throughout the body. This mechanism helps to slow the progression of the cancer and is generally administered in a daily cycle for a set number of weeks followed by a rest period.
Qfitlia is made by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.
Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford Qfitlia?
It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.
Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Qfitlia?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Takeda Pharmaceuticals has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Qfitlia?
Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.
How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?
Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.
What if I have a high-deductible plan?
For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.
Are there charity grants for Hemophilia A?
Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
