How does SPRYCEL work?

SPRYCEL is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It blocks a certain protein in your body called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This protein is found on cancer cells like CML and ALL and not on normal, healthy cells. It causes the cancer cells to grow and multiply. By blocking this protein, it kills cancer cells and stops their spread.

Adults with Ph+ CML: Dosing will depend on the phase of Ph+ CML you’re in. The typical dose starts at 100 mg or 140 mg by mouth once a day
Adults with Ph+ ALL: The typical dose is 140 mg by mouth once a day
Children with Ph+ CML or Ph+ ALL: Dosing will depend on the child’s weight. Dosage starts from 40 mg to 100 mg by mouth once a day
