Drug Overview
Sprycel (dasatinib; Bristol-Myers Squibb/Otsuka) is an oral targeted therapy that inhibits several tyrosine kinases including BCR-ABL, c-KIT, and the Src family kinases. The BCR-ABL fusion gene activates a number of signaling pathways that facilitate cancer cell transformation and proliferation, the inhibition of apoptosis, and adhesion and cytoskeleton abnormalities, all of which are characteristics of the disease. The presence of this gene is a result of the Philadelphia chromosome translocation, which is found in over 90% of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cases.
