TASIGNA Boxed Warning
QT PROLONGATION and SUDDEN DEATHS Tasigna prolongs the QT interval. Prior to Tasigna administration and periodically, monitor for hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia and correct deficiencies [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] . Obtain ECGs to monitor the QTc at baseline, seven days after initiation, and periodically thereafter, and following any dose adjustments [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.3, 5.7, 5.12)] . Sudden deaths have been reported in patients receiving Tasigna [see Warnings and Pre...

TASIGNA Target & Pathway
ProTarget
An abnormal fusion protein created by a chromosomal translocation, found in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). BCR-ABL has constitutive kinase activity that drives leukemic cell proliferation. Targeting BCR-ABL transformed CML from a fatal disease to a manageable condition.
