About Starjemza and its cost

What is this medication? Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly) is a prescription immunotherapy medication used to treat specific types of advanced or recurrent cancers in adult patients. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of endometrial cancer that is characterized as mismatch repair-deficient. This medication is typically used when the cancer has returned or progressed following previous treatment with chemotherapy, and a laboratory test is required to confirm that the tumor has the specific genetic markers that make it suitable for this type of therapy. The medication works as a monoclonal antibody that targets the programmed death receptor-1 pathway to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. By blocking this pathway, the drug prevents cancer cells from evading the body's natural defenses, which helps to slow or stop the growth of the tumor. In addition to endometrial cancer, it may also be used for other types of solid tumors that are mismatch repair-deficient and have no other satisfactory treatment options. It is administered by a healthcare professional through an intravenous infusion.

Starjemza is made by GlaxoSmithKline. 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 Starjemza?

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 Starjemza?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But GlaxoSmithKline has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Starjemza?

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 Psoriasis?

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.
