Prescribing information

 

PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH aBC HAVE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS:

  • They typically face a worse prognosis and more aggressive cancer than postmenopausal women1,2
  • Quality of life can be a challenge to maintain3

 

Extend the moment for premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− aBC

 

KISQALI + ET* is the only CDK4/6i to show statistically significant improvements in OS in three phase III trials4–6

KISQALI is indicated for the treatment of women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant as initial endocrine-based therapy, or in women who have received prior endocrine therapy. In pre- or perimenopausal women, the endocrine therapy should be combined with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.7

 

ESMO icon

KISQALI + ET* (along with other CDK4/6 inhibitors) is recognised by ESMO as a standard of care for HR+/HER2− aBC patients8,9

ASCO icon

KISQALI + ET* in premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− aBC is the only CDK4/6 inhibitor recognised by ASCO Clinical Cancer Advances 202010

 

*KISQALI is not recommended to be used in combination with tamoxifen.7
