Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement Supports the relationship that ABL1 p.T315I and BCR::ABL1 status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Ponatinib in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, BCR-ABL1+.

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 chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are resistant to dasatinib or nilotinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib 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 chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) who are resistant to dasatinib or nilotinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib, nilotinib and bosutinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation.
