In the European Union, ponatinib is indicated as monotherapy in adult patients with chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) who are resistant or intolerant to dasatinib or nilotinib, or who have the T315I mutation. It is also indicated as monotherapy in adults with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) who are resistant or intolerant to dasatinib, or who have the T315I mutation, and in combination with reduced-intensity chemotherapy for newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL. It is indicated as monotherapy in paediatric patients 6 years of age or older with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CP-CML) who are resistant to dasatinib or nilotinib, who are intolerant to dasatinib or nilotinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate, or who have the T315I mutation. Ponatinib is listed by the cited source as having an approved use for lymphoid leukaemia.

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.
Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.
Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.
In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
