Capivasertib in combination with Faslodex is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with a specific type of hormone receptor-positive (hormone-dependent, e.g., estrogen-dependent) advanced breast cancer that has spread to adjacent tissues or other parts of the body, and whose disease has progressed during or after certain other therapies.

What is the indication of Capivasertib?

Capivasertib is also used in combination with another medication plus Faslodex for the treatment of a specific type of hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer that has metastasized to other parts of the body, in premenopausal (menopause; cessation of menstruation), perimenopausal and postmenopausal female patients. Capivasertib belongs to the class of medications known as kinase inhibitors.
