  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Imatinib has improved chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) outcomes.
  • Newer tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) address resistance and upfront treatment.
  • Radotinib is a selective second-generation BCR-ABL1 TKI approved in Korea.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical potential of radotinib.
  • Focus on efficacy and safety in chronic phase CML patients.
  • Evaluate radotinib as a treatment option for CML.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical studies on radotinib.
  • Analysis of efficacy data in CML patients.
  • Assessment of safety and tolerability profiles.
