Switzerland-based Novartis (NYSE: NVS) announced this week that it has received another indication approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its CDK4/6 inhibitor Kisqali (ribociclib). The approval is for use in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) as adjuvant therapy for hormone receptor (HR) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative early breast cancer patients with a high risk of recurrence.
Kisqali’s Global Presence
Kisqali has already been approved as a treatment for breast cancer in over 100 countries worldwide.
