EfficacyA breadth of clinical research1-8 BOSULIF® (bosutinib) has been studied in a large number of CML patients and a wide range of patient types Third- and fourth-line subgroups comprise of patients with CP CML that were imatinib resistant or imatinib intolerant and ≥1 of the following: dasatinib resistant or dasatinib intolerant, nilotinib resistant, nilotinib intolerant or resistant/intolerant to dasatinib and nilotinib.5,7 Consider BOSULIF for your adult Ph+ CML patients1 BFORE study: View study Loading BYOND study: View study Loading Study 200 View study Loading Recommended starting dose in first-line1

400 mg BOSULIF once daily for adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase (CP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML)

 

Recommended starting dose in second-line and beyond1

500 mg BOSULIF once daily for adult patients with CP, accelerated phase (AP), and blast phase (BP) Ph+ CML previously treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor(s) and for whom imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib are not considered appropriate treatment options

Dose Adjustment1

Dose escalation or reduction by 100mg may be considered depending on patients response and tolerability. Doses greater than 600 mg/day have not been studied and, therefore, should not be given. Doses less than 300 mg/day have been used in patients; however, efficacy has not been established. 

Consider BOSULIF when you make a TKI switch1AP=accelerated phase; BP=blast phase; CML=chronic myelogenous leukemia; CP=chronic phase; Ph+=Philadelphia chromosome-positive; TKI=tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
