This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that BCR::ABL1 status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Ponatinib in patients with Acute Lymphoid Leukemia.
The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved ponatinib for reimbursement as a monotherapy treatment option for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who are resistant to dasatinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation.
This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:
Treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) who are resistant to dasatinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation.
