Outcomes And Side Effect Profile Of Ponatinib In Treatment Of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (Cml): A Retrospective Single-Center Experience

BACKGROUND: Ponatinib is a third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used to treat resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It has been associated with cardiovascular adverse events (CAEs); most specifically hypertension and arterial thrombotic events. Most CAEs are dose-dependent. The frequency of CAEs in the real-world setting has not been previously described. In this study, we describe the survival outcomes and associated toxicities in ponatinib-treated patients at Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC).
