Ponatinib for the treatment of adult patients with resistant or intolerant Chronic-Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

In patients with CP-CML resistant or intolerant to second-generation TKIs, we favor using a third-generation TKI such as ponatinib. Although we initiate a donor search as soon as a patient fails a second-generation TKI, we still prefer treating patients with ponatinib and will only consider transplantation in the event of no response or disease progression.
