Draft NICE guidance has recommended Eli Lilly’s twice-daily pill Verzenios (abemaciclib) as an option for adults with a type of breast cancer called hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer which has spread to other parts of the body.
The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has not recommended Eli Lilly’s Verzenios (abemaciclib) with fulvestrant for the treatment of advanced breast cancer patients.
As it stands Eli Lilly’s Verzenios will not be routinely funded on the NHS for breast cancer, as cost-regulators have now issued draft guidelines rejecting the drug.
