To support patients with unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who have been prescribed Kisqali, Novartis has opened a Patient Support Program (PSP) called Sentia. Patients enrolled by their healthcare team in the PSP will have access to reimbursement navigation and financial assistance, dedicated nurses to answer any questions you may have, helpful information and tools to support you, and one year of ongoing personal support.
Note that reimbursement timelines can vary on a case-by-case basis. If you have questions you can contact the PSP directly at the following:
