ICLUSIG® (ponatinib) is an oral, once-daily TKI.

It should be swallowed whole, and can be taken with or without food.

Important dose considerations

  • Start at 30 mg once daily when administering ICLUSIG with strong CYP3A inhibitors and in patients with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A, B, or C).
  • Consider discontinuing ICLUSIG if response has not occurred within 90 days.
  • There are specific dosing modifications for myelosuppression, non-hematologic adverse reactions (hepatic toxicity, pancreatitis, and elevation of lipase), for use of ICLUSIG with strong CYP3A inhibitors, and for use in patients with hepatic impairment.
  • Consider the dose intensity-safety relationship when assessing the benefit-risk profile of ICLUSIG patients.
    • In the PACE trial, significant increases in grade ≥ 3 adverse reactions (hypertension, thrombocytopenia, pancreatitis, neutropenia, rash, ALT increase, AST increase, lipase increase, myelosuppression) corresponded with increases in the dose range of 15 to 45 mg once daily.
  • The optimal dose of ICLUSIG has not been identified.
