In June 2006, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib (Sprycel; Bristol-Myers Squibb) was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of adults with chronic myeloid leukaemia and Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with resistance or intolerance to previous therapy, including the kinase inhibitor imatinib (Gleevec; Novartis).
