Otsuka 1xbet 사기armaceutical Co., Ltd. has received regulatory approval in Japan for manufacture and sales of ICLUSIG®Tablets 15 mg (ponatinib hydrochloride), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) indicated to treat patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are resistant or intolerant to previous treatments and patients with recurrent or refractory 1xbet 사기iladel1xbet 사기ia-chromosome positive acute lym1xbet 사기oblastic leukemia (1xbet 사기+ ALL).*2

Although TKIs are used as a first-line treatment for CML and 1xbet 사기+ ALL, mutation of BCR-ABL genes can develop during the treatment period and indicates resistance to the currently used TKI. In addition, intolerance to the side effects of existing TKI treatments can lead to a discontinuation of treatment.

ICLUSIG, discovered in the U.S. by ARIAD 1xbet 사기armaceuticals, Inc., is a TKI that targets BCR-ABL expressed in CML and 1xbet 사기+ ALL. This drug is a new chemically synthesized oral TKI, and is specifically designed to inhibit mutated TK caused by a T315I mutation which induces resistance to the currently used TKI. ICLUSIG demonstrates efficacy in CML patients with resistance to or with intolerance to currently available TKIs. ICLUSIG was approved in the U.S. in 2012, in Europe in 2013, and in 2014 Otsuka obtained the rights to commercialize and develop ICLUSIG in ten Asian countries and regions.*1ICLUSIG was designated as an or1xbet 사기an drug in Japan and a new drug application (NDA) was submitted in January 2016.
