Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that BCR::ABL1 status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Bosutinib in patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.

The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved bosutinib for reimbursement as a treatment option for the treatment of adult patients with chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), and blast phase (BP) Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML) previously treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor(s) and for whom imatinib, nilotonib, and dasatinib are not considered appropriate treatment options.

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:

Treatment of adult patients with chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), and blast phase (BP) Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia (Ph+CML) previously treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor(s) and for whom imatinib, nilotonib and dasatinib are not considered appropriate treatment options.
