摘要: Nilotinib (Tasigna(®)) is a more potent BCR-ABL inhibitor than imatinib and was designed to overcome imatinib's deficiencies. has significant efficacy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) phase, accelerated phase blastic following failure. Based on the results of Evaluating Efficacy Safety Clinical Trials-Newly Diagnosed Patients (ENESTnd) study, US FDA granted approval nilotinib for treatment adult newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML phase. Imatinib changed our perceptions therapeutic power targeted inhibition pathologically active kinase. Nilotinib, designer agent built scaffold, proven superior its template by every surrogate marker we use monitoring CML. Nilotinib's clinical superiority over imatinib, as demonstrated ENESTnd established it an that believe further step towards cure
