Abstract
The availability of several BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) options means physicians and patients can select the most appropriate treatment for a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). BCR-ABL TKI selection as a first- or later-line therapy is dependent on a number of clinical factors. Regular monitoring of patients, patient education, dose optimization and management of treatment-emergent adverse events are key aspects of long-term chronic myeloid leukemia management and contribute to improved clinical outcomes, quality of life, patient adherence and healthcare costs. This review provides an overview of the BCR-ABL1 TKI bosutinib, its pharmacology and clinical trials; discusses the impact of comorbidities and concomitant medications on bosutinib treatment selection; and suggests strategies for managing adverse events and dose optimization during bosutinib treatment.
