Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This program provides access to eribulin, a treatment for patients with advanced breast cancer that has not improved with other therapies. The study is open-label, meaning both doctors and patients know what treatment is being given. It includes a Pre-Treatment Phase and a Treatment Phase. The program will run in each country until eribulin is officially approved and available there, or until the sponsor decides to end the program.
