Abstract

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors efficacy in central nervous system (CNS) disease remains uncertain. Ponatinib was studied for CNS distribution in 16 patients with Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Cerebrospinal fluid concentrations fell below the 40 nM threshold, suggesting suboptimal CNS exposure.
