The growth, proliferation, and survival of malignant hematopoietic cells are caused by the dysregulation of BCR-ABL’s tyrosine kinase activity in individuals with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
Dasatinib has a greater affinity than imatinib for both the active and inactive conformations of the ABL kinase domain.
Dasatinib suppresses cell proliferation in cell lines overexpressing BCR-ABL in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Pregnancy warnings:
Breastfeeding warnings:
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: Satisfactory and well-controlled studies show no risk to the fetus in the first trimester or the later trimester.
Category B: No evidence shown of risk to the fetus found in animal reproduction studies, and there are not enough studies on pregnant women
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for a result in humans must take care of potential risks in pregnant women
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
In clinical studies, 1% of patients treated with dasatinib exhibited a QTcF greater than 500 ms, while less than 1% of patients experienced QTc prolongation as an adverse event.
In children, it may also result in negative reactions related to bone growth and development and embryo-fetal toxicity.
It is taken orally in tablet form with or without food.
Take in the morning or the evening at the same time every day. It should be swallow as whole at time.
Don’t chew or crush the pellets. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice.
Avoid taking two doses at once; skip the first one and take the following one at the scheduled time.
Patient information leaflet
Generic Name: dasatinib
Why do we use dasatinib?
Adults with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase that is Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) may be treated with dasatinib.
Children aged one year and up with Ph+ CML in the chronic phase or newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL who are receiving chemotherapy can also be treated with dasatinib.
