Date Update
21 March 2012

The Institute has now been informed by the manufacturer that it has withdrawn its application for a centralised marketing authorisation for lapatinib in combination with paclitaxel, which was based on the results of the EGF104535 study.

Further information is available here.

Therefore, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal on its current work programme.
As this topic has been referred to the Institute we will continue to monitor any development and will update interested parties if the situation changes.
