Sprycel (Dasatinib) Information

Sprycel, which contains the active ingredient dasatinib, is a targeted therapy medication known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It is used to treat adults and children with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In cases of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), it is used for adults when other treatments are no longer effective, and for children in combination with chemotherapy. Sprycel is designed to treat leukemia by targeting proteins that allow cancer cells to grow. The medication is taken by mouth as a tablet, typically once daily. You can either take it in the morning or the evening, with or without food. To ensure the treatment is effective, it is important to take Sprycel at the same time every day to maintain a steady level of the drug in your system.

The mechanism of action of dasatinib involves blocking several types of proteins called tyrosine kinases, specifically the Bcr-Abl protein. In certain leukemias, this protein sends constant signals that tell white blood cells to divide and grow out of control. By inhibiting these signals, Sprycel prevents the production of cancerous cells and helps the bone marrow resume producing healthy blood cells.
