To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 January 2022 to Question 96909, on Cancer: Drugs, how many breast cancer drugs are being assessed through the Project Orbis licensing route.

The United Kingdom is aware of one Project Orbis product aimed at treating breast cancer. As with all medicines and treatments, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will ensure a thorough and expedited assessment of any medicine’s safety and efficacy before any authorisation.
