Re: FDA approves Verzenio for advanced metastatic breast cancer
 
I looked the drug up hoping it was a major advance. From what I can determine it is Ibrance made by a different drug company. It works as a CDK/46 inhibitor (like Ibrance ie Palbociclib) and you comvine it with lerozole. I cant say but maybe it will be more effective than Ibrance.
