Active to target early breast cancer from positive to negative HER2

Verzenio gets additional approval for Indication


According to related industries, anticancer drugs such as ADC and Antibody-drug conjugate Kadcyla and CDK4/600 inhibitor Verzenio are entering the early breast cancer area in Korea. Kadcyla was already listed on the insurance benefit list in July, and the actual prescription began. The drug, which was used for the second or more treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, has expanded access to postoperative adjunct therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients with invasive residual lesions after receiving prior chemotherapy, including Taxane and Trastuzumab. The effectiveness of Kadcyla's early breast cancer was confirmed through an open-label study in phase 3 (KATHERINE).
