Chronic Myeloid Leukemia – Current Treatment – Current Treatment: Physician Insights – Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (US)
The chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) drug-treatment market is dominated by BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors, notably imatinib (Novartis’s Gleevec; generics); these agents enable many CML patients to live a normal life span. This improvement in survival, coupled with the aging U.S. population, has increased the prevalence of CML. However, compliance issues with treatments that require lifelong use contribute significantly to drug resistance, fueling the demand for effective and safe second- and later-line therapies. In October 2021, Novartis’s Scemblix launched for the third- and later-line treatment of chronic CML. This first-in-class allosteric inhibitor of ABL/BCR-ABL1 is approved to treat chronic CML patients with the T315I mutation.
