WHAT IMATINIB TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Imatinib Tablets is a medicine containing an active substance called
imatinib. This medicine
works by inhibiting the growth of abnormal cells in the diseases
listed below. These include
some types of cancer.
IMATINIB TABLETS IS A TREATMENT FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN FOR:
-
CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKAEMIA (CML). Leukaemia is a cancer of white blood
cells.
These white cells usually help the body to fight infection. Chronic
myeloid leukaemia
is a form of leukaemia in which certain abnormal white cells (named
myeloid cells)
start growing out of control.
-
PHILADELPHIA CHROMOSOME POSITIVE ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKAEMIA
(PH-POSITIVE
ALL). Leukaemia is a cancer of white blood cells. These white cells
usually help the
body to fight infection. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a form of
leukaemia in
which certain abnormal white cells (named lymphoblasts) start growing
out of
control. Imatinib Tablets inhibits the growth of these cells.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Imatinib is indicated for the treatment of:

adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia
chromosome (bcr-abl) positive (Ph+) chronic
myeloid leukaemia (CML) for whom bone marrow transplantation is not
considered as the first line of treatment.

adult and paediatric patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase after
failure of interferon-alpha therapy, or in
accelerated phase or blast crisis.

adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia
chromosome positive acute lymophoblastic
leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) integrated with chemotherapy.

adult patients with relapsed or refractory Ph+ ALL as monotherapy.

adult patients with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases
(MDS/MPD) associated with platelet-derived
growth factor receptor (PDGFR) gene re-arrangements.

adult patients with advanced hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and/or
chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL) with
FIP1L1-PDGFRα rearrangment.

adult patients with unresectable dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
(DFSP) and adult patients with recurrent and/or
metastatic DFSP who are not eligible for surgery
The effect of imatinib on the outcome of bone marrow transplantation
has not been determined.
In adult and paediatric patients, the effectiveness of imatinib is
based on overall haematological and cytogenetic response
rates and progression-free survival in CML, on haematological and
cytogenetic response rates in Ph+ ALL, MDS/MPD, on
haematological response rates in HES/CEL and on objective response
