SPRYCEL SUMMARY

SPRYCEL®
(dasatinib) Tablets

SPRYCEL® (dasatinib) is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases.

SPRYCEL (dasatinib) is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy including imatinib. The effectiveness of SPRYCEL is based on hematologic and cytogenetic response rates (see CLINICAL STUDIES). There are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms or increased survival.

SPRYCEL is also indicated for the treatment of adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy.
