Dasatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia: a review
Deregulated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase (TK) activity is the molecular marker for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which provides an identifiable target for developing therapeutic agents. Imatinib mesylate, a BCR-ABL TK inhibitor, is the frontline therapy for CML. Despite the stunning efficacy of this agent, a small number of patients develop a suboptimal response or resistance to imatinib. In newly...
متن کاملAllografting for Bosutinib, Imatinib, Nilotinib, Dasatinib, and Interferon Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukemia without ABL Kinase Mutation
The current treatment of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) consists of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, high-risk CML may present with an aggressive course which may result in blastic crisis or a "difficult-to-manage" state with available treatments. The aim of this paper is to report a patient with complicated CML resistant to treatment and progressed despite the adm...
متن کاملDasatinib-Induced Tumor Lysis Syndrome and Following Hematologic Remission in Fibrotic Blastic Crisis of CML
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disease almost always caused by a genetic defect known as the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Ph chromosome is associated with a BCR/ABL fusion gene expressed as an oncoprotein, which is generally considered as the initiator for the chronic phase of CML. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are targetspecific therapeutic agents that achie...

A 35-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase and was prescribed 100 mg daily dasatinib. However, dasatinib was discontinued due to thrombocytopenia, and within six months, the disease progressed to the lymphoid blastic phase. Hyper-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and dexamethasone chemotherapy combined with 140 mg dasatinib or 600 mg imatinib was...

Background: The induction chemotherapy regimen for acute myeloid leukemia has evolved as once induction is completed patients progress through the consolidation phase and achieve remission in 76% of cases. For patients with relapsed or refractory disease, alternative chemotherapy agents are available. Monoclonal antibody therapy with biological agents, such as the immunotoxin gemtuzumab ozog...
