I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to follow up on our my concern regarding [ [Ribociclib Succinate NDSRIs limit clarification related]
Please let me know your thoughts on the above said points.
Dear @kapilvaja - As per my knowledge Ribociclib cannot be categorized as into ICH S9 category. So better to follow published AI of 400 ng/day for specific nitrosamine mentioned.
As per the FDA label of Ribociclib, is indicated or used in the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer . As per my view we can consider the scope of the ICH S9 guideline.
A pharmaceutical classification into specifically ICH S9 should meet specific criteria.
Here Ribociclib is meant for both metastasis or advanced cancer.
