Timeline
Key events during the development of the guidance:
| Date | Update |
|---|---|
| 9 December 2008 | The manufacturer recently received a negative CHMP opinion for Ixabepilone for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Consequently this appraisal will be suspended until we receive an update from the manufacturer on the status of regulatory approval. |
