Vepdegestrant Now Available for U.S. Patients With ER+/HER2-, ESR1-Mutated Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer
“The commercial launch of VEPPANU marks an important milestone for Rigel and, more importantly, for patients living with ER+/HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer. In a pivotal trial, VEPPANU was generally well tolerated and demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival versus fulvestrant in this patient population.
