Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Bosulif is a cancer medicine that is used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a cancer of the white blood cells, in adults with a special chromosome in their cells called the Philadelphia chromosome.

It is used to treat three stages of CML called ‘chronic phase’, ‘accelerated phase’ and ‘blast phase’ in patients who have already been treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (medicines for CML which work in a similar way to Bosulif), and when the tyrosine kinase inhibitors called dasatinib, imatinib and nilotinib are not suitable.

Bosulif is also used to treat newly diagnosed patients who are in the ‘chronic phase’ of CML.

Bosulif contains the active substance bosutinib.
