TOPIC: ponatinib dose for pediatric patients

link to forum

...
Meinolf is right about no data in pediatrics. Phase 1 in pediatric population has not been done yet. There is only one case report in the literature about pediatric experience (Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2015 Nov;62(11):2050-1). They used 45 mg daily for an adolescent >70kg but reduced it to 15 mg for a concern of side effects.

We have used it for a 9 yo with Ph+ ALL and T315I mutation. This weight is about 30 kg and 1 m2 BSA. The patient received 15 mg daily and had a great response. I also hear from my US colleagues about their experience with children.
