Ponatinib-induced widespread ichthyosiform eruption

Abstract

Ponatinib is a new potent third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), developed for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) resistant to first (imatinib) and second generation (dasatinib and nilotinib) TK-inhibitors. Aimed at wild type and mutant BCR-ABL, ponatinib demonstrates significant anti-leukemic activity and holds much promise in treating other malignancies, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)(1;2).
