Breast Cancer - Off-Label - 2000-2007

Results
13,347 women were treated with 16,127 regimens (12% of women switched to a new regimen during followup).

Sixty-four percent (10,391) of regimens were off-label/supported,

25% (3,987) were on-label and 11% (1,749) were off-label/unsupported. Drugs never supported for breast cancer accounted for 19% of off-label/unsupported use and 1% of total use. Hospitalization/ER admission occurred in 32% of off-label/unsupported regimens, compared to 27% of off-label/supported and 25% of on-label regimens (p<.0001).
