General information
Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor with multiple targets, including Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, the constitutively active tyrosine kinase resulting from the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in CML, as well as VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, the SRC kinases, KIT, EPH receptors, RET, TIE2, and FLT3. Ponatinib is active against the Bcr-Abl T315I mutation.[1][2][3][4]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
Diseases for which it is used
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia
- Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphocytic leukemia
Patient drug information
