How does RYDAPT work?

How does RYDAPT work?

RYDAPT is a type of targeted therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Kinases are enzymes (proteins) that send signals to cells, including cancer cells, that tells them to grow. RYDAPT works by blocking several kinases in blood cancer (leukemia) cells, which then prevents these cells from growing. RYDAPT works specifically on leukemia cells that have the FLT3 mutation. For systemic mastocytosis and mast cell leukemia, RYDAPT is thought to work by slowing or stopping the growth of abnormal mast cells. It might also block the release of histamines that cause symptoms of systemic mastocytosis.
