GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) confirmed yesterday that the European Commission has granted a variation to the conditional marketing authorisation for Tyverb (lapatinib) in the European Union for a new therapeutic indication. Tyverb, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 (ErbB2) over-expressing metastatic breast cancer and for whom chemotherapy is currently not intended. The patients in the registration study were not previously treated with trastuzumab or an aromatase inhibitor.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
