WHAT VERZENIOS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Verzenios is a cancer medicine containing the active substance
abemaciclib.
Abemaciclib blocks the effects of proteins called cyclin-dependent
kinase 4 and 6. These proteins are
abnormally active in some cancer cells and make them grow out of
control. Blocking the action of
these proteins can slow down growth of cancer cells, shrink the tumour
and delay progression of the
cancer.
Verzenios is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (hormone
receptor-positive (HR+), human
epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-)) which have:
-
spread to the lymph nodes of the armpit, with no detectable spread to
other parts of the body,
been surgically removed, and have certain characteristics that
increase the risk of the cancer
returning. Treatment is given in combination with hormonal therapy,
such as aromatase
inhibitors or tamoxifen, to prevent the cancer from coming back after
surgery (treatment after
surgery is called adjuvant therapy)
-
spread beyond the original tumour and/or to other orga
