The study now shows that with a median follow-up of about 3.5 years for chronic phase CML (CP-CML) patients and a median follow-up of about 2.9 years in all patients in the trial, Iclusig continues to demonstrate anti-leukemic activity in patients with limited treatment options. Responses have been maintained long-term in CP-CML patients. Eighty-three percent (83%) of CP-CML patients who achieved a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) are estimated to remain in MCyR at three years.

Additionally, 95 percent of CP-CML patients who underwent ponatinib dose reductions maintained their responses (MCyR). Benefit-risk evaluations should guide the decision to initiate and maintain Iclusig therapy, particularly in patients who may be at raised risk for arterial occlusive events (AOE).

The company offers Iclusig (ponatinib), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for the treatment of adult patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the United States, Europe, and other territories.
