## Notice

The Medicines Repurposing Programme has been established by NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I, the "Authority") to identify and pursue opportunities to strengthen the evidence base, licensing, supply, cost-effectiveness and equitable adoption of medicines used outside of their original marketing authorisation. The Programme is jointly sponsored by NHSE/I, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Further details can be found at: https://www.england.nhs.uk/medicines-2/medicines-repurposing-programme/ The Medicines Repurposing Programme is inviting those interested organisations to express an interest to seek a major (type II) MHRA Marketing Authorisation variation for anastrozole.

The selected company (the "Bidder") would need to prepare a dossier for the MHRA, apply for the licence variation, and if granted update their licence, Summary of Product Characteristics and patient information leaflet with the new indication and related data, according to the regulatory review.
