Overview

Ibrance is a cancer medicine used to treat breast cancer when the cancer is locally advanced (has spread nearby) or metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body). Ibrance can only be used when the cancer cells have receptors (targets) for certain hormones on their surface (HR-positive) and do not produce abnormally large quantities of a receptor called HER2 (HER [human epidermal growth factor] negative). Ibrance is used in the following ways:

  • together with an aromatase inhibitor (a hormonal medicine for cancer);
  • together with fulvestrant (another hormonal medicine for cancer) in patients who have previously been treated with a hormonal medicine.

In women who have not yet reached menopause, a medicine called a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist should also be given.

Ibrance contains the active substance palbociclib.
