ICLUSIG® (ponatinib) Adverse Reactions from the PACE trial.

Discontinuation rates in the PACE trial due to treatment-emergent adverse reactions:

  • 19% of CP-CML patients
  • 12% of AP-CML patients
  • 15% of BP-CML patients
  • 9% of Ph+ ALL patients

Myelosuppression was commonly reported in all patient populations. The frequency of grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia was higher in patients with AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ ALL than in patients with CP-CML.

Adverse reactions in > 10% of patients in the PACE trial (N=449)
