Regulatory approval

Published by the Health Service Executive.

The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved ribociclib in combination with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant as an initial endocrine-based treatment option for the treatment of patients who are women with (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer 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.

This is written in the approval document as:
