Tucatinib, sold under the brand name Tukysa, a medication used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer.[4] Specifically it is used in cases which are localized but advanced or which have spread to other parts of the body.[4] It is used together with capecitabine and trastuzumab when other treatments have not worked.[4] It is taken by mouth.[4]

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, tiredness, inflammation of the mouth, liver problems, and rash.[4] A rash that may occur is known as palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia.[2] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).[2][1]

Tucatinib was approved for medical use in the United States and Australia in 2020,[2][1] and in Europe in 2021.[4] In the United States it costs about 21,000 USD per month as of 2021.[5]
