Bleddyn Edwards patient case study
Indications:1
Early breast cancer (eBC)
KISQALI, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI), is indicated for the adjuvant treatment of patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative eBC at high risk of recurrence (see section 5.1 of the SmPC for selection criteria).
In pre/perimenopausal women, or in men, the AI should be combined with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist
Advanced breast cancer (aBC)
KISQALI is indicated for the treatment of women with HR+/HER2– locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with an AI or fulvestrant as initial endocrine-based therapy, or in women who have received prior endocrine therapy (ET).
In pre/perimenopausal women, the ET should be combined with an LHRH agonist
KISQALI is not recommended to be used in combination with tamoxifen.
Join Bleddyn Edwards as he provides the pharmacist perspective on a case study of a 35-year-old woman with HR+/HER2– aBC, evaluating her treatment plan and the data supporting the use of KISQALI + ET in pre/perimenopausal women.
