How Sprycel Affects Patients
Dasatinib is an oral medication that helps to stop two types of proteins (BCR/ABL and Src family tyrosine kinase) from growing in the body.
How Sprycel works in the body
Dasatinib is a drug that works by stopping certain proteins from functioning. It specifically targets the proteins in the BCR-ABL, SRC family, c-KIT, EPHA2, and PDGFRβ groups. Studies have shown that dasatinib can stop the growth of leukemia cells that overexpress BCR-ABL, and can also overcome resistance caused by mutations and other drug resistance genes.
