Summary of use during lactation
No information is available on the use of ripretinib during breastfeeding. Because ripretinib and its metabolite are more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amounts in milk are likely to be low. However, their half-lives are long. The manufacturer recommends that mothers should not breastfeed during treatment with ripretinib and for 1 week after the final dose.
