Nubeqa now available for mHS prostate cancer patients in England

28 November 2022

The UK subsidiary of German pharma major Bayer (BAYN: DE) says that Nubeqa (darolutamide) + ADT in combination with docetaxel, for the treatment of National Health Service (NHS) patients with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), is available immediately in England for eligible patients, following marketing authorization from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and through a first-in-Europe early access agreement with NHS England.

This follows the initial licence for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) in 2020.

The commercial agreement between NHS England and Bayer is the first for a prostate cancer therapy and enables early access for eligible NHS patients in England for this indication while the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) completes its ongoing appraisal.
