Chỉ dẫn điều trị:

Imatinib medac is indicated for the treatment of: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;paediatric patients with Ph+CML in chronic phase after failure of interferon-alpha therapy, or in accelerated phase;adult and paediatric patients with Ph+CML in blast crisis;adult and paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic 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 rearrangement;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 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. Except in newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, there are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit or increased survival for these diseases.

WHAT IMATINIB MEDAC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Imatinib medac 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 MEDAC IS A TREATMENT FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
FOR:
•
CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKAEMIA (CML) IN BLAST CRISIS. 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. Imatinib medac inhibits the growth of these cells.
Blast crisis is the most
advanced stage of this disease.
•
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.
