Capivasertib (Truqap) costs over $23,000/month. Learn about copay programs, patient assistance, and other ways to save on this breast cancer drug in 2026.
If you've been prescribed Capivasertib (brand name Truqap) for breast cancer, one of your first questions may be: How am I going to pay for this?
You're not alone. With a cash price of over $23,000 per month, Capivasertib is one of the most expensive oral oncology medications available. Even with insurance, copays and coinsurance can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars per month.
The good news is that there are several programs designed to help reduce your costs — in some cases to $0 per month. This guide covers every major option available in 2026.
The cash price of Capivasertib (Truqap) is approximately $23,762 per 28-day cycle. Each cycle consists of 64 tablets (either 160 mg or 200 mg strength), taken on a 4-days-on, 3-days-off schedule.
At this price, a full year of treatment without any financial assistance would cost approximately $285,000 to $310,000.
There is no generic version of Capivasertib available as of 2026, and none is expected in the near term. This means the brand-name price is the only option.
Most commercial insurance plans and Medicare Part D cover Capivasertib, but typically with significant requirements:

These foundations open and close enrollment based on funding availability, so check frequently and apply as soon as a fund opens for breast cancer or Capivasertib specifically.
Some states offer prescription assistance programs for residents who meet income criteria. These vary widely by state. Contact your state health department or visit Medicare.gov to find programs in your area.
If you're being treated at a hospital-based cancer center, ask about their financial assistance or charity care program. Many hospitals can help cover drug costs for patients who qualify based on income.
If your insurance plan requires high cost-sharing for Capivasertib, your oncologist can submit:
These requests don't always succeed, but they're worth pursuing — especially with documentation of medical necessity.
No one should have to skip cancer treatment because of cost. While Capivasertib's price tag is daunting, the financial assistance landscape for this drug is robust. Between AstraZeneca's manufacturer programs, independent foundations, and insurance appeal options, most patients can significantly reduce or eliminate their out-of-pocket costs.
