WHAT TYVERB IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TYVERB IS USED TO TREAT CERTAIN TYPES OF BREAST CANCER
_(HER2-overexpressing)_
which have spread
beyond the original tumour or to other organs (
_advanced_
or
_metastatic_
breast cancer). It may slow or
stop cancer cells from growing, or may kill them.
Tyverb is prescribed to be taken in combination with another
anti-cancer medicine.
Tyverb is prescribed in
COMBINATION WITH CAPECITABINE
, for patients who have had treatment for
advanced or metastatic breast cancer before. This previous treatment
for metastatic breast cancer must
have included trastuzumab.
Tyverb is prescribed in
COMBINATION WITH TRASTUZUMAB
, for patients who have hormone receptor-
negative metastatic breast cancer and have had other treatment for
advanced or metastatic breast
cancer
before.
Tyverb is prescribed in
COMBINATION WITH AN AROMATASE INHIBITOR
, for patients with hormone
sensitive metastatic breast cancer (breast cancer that is more likely
to grow in the presence of
hormones), who are not currently intended for chemotherapy.
Information about these medicines is described in separate patient
information leaflets.

progression following prior therapy, which must have included
anthracyclines and taxanes and
therapy with trastuzumab in the metastatic setting (see section 5.1).
