Imatinib Actavis is indicated for: , 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 rates in adult patients with unresectable and/or metastatic DFSP. The experience with imatinib in patients with MDS/MPD associated with PDGFR gene re-arrangements is very limited. There are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit or increased survival for these diseases.

WHAT IMATINIB ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Imatinib Actavis 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 ACTAVIS IS A TREATMENT 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.
In adult patients, Imatinib Actavis is intended for use in the most
advanced phase of the disease (blast
crisis). In children and adolescents, Imatinib Actavis can be used in
different phases of the disease
(chronic, accelerated phase and blast crisis).
-
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 leukaem
