Uses

Radotinib is indicated for the treatment of different types of cancer, most notably Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with resistance or intolerance of other Bcr-Abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, such as patients resistant or intolerant to imatinib.

How Radotinib works

Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) leukemia is driven by the constitutive enzymatic activity of the BCR-ABL1 fusion kinase. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that block the activity of BCR-ABL1 are successfully used clinically to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

Toxicity

radotinib shares the recently reported cardiovascular toxicity of nilotinib. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were recorded in 20% of all patients and some of them developed severe or even life-threatening coronary artery disease, QT prolongation, changes in left ventricular ejection fraction.
