Overview

Nerlynx is a breast cancer medicine used to reduce the risk of the disease coming back in patients with early breast cancer who have had surgery. It is given following treatment with trastuzumab (another medicine used for the same purpose).

It is intended for use only in breast cancers that produce high levels of a protein called HER2, which helps cells to divide and grow (HER2-positive breast cancer), and that also have receptors (targets) for the female sex hormones (hormone-receptor positive breast cancer).
