... data suggest that inhibition of FLT3-ITD by ponatinib inhibits MV4-11 cell viability through the induction of apoptosis….To examine the effect of ponatinib on FLT3-ITD–driven tumor growth in vivo, ponatinib (1–25 mg/kg), or vehicle, was administered orally, once daily for 28 days, to mice bearing MV4-11 xenografts. As shown in Fig. 4A, ponatinib potently inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of 1 mg/kg, the lowest dose tested, led to significant inhibition of tumor growth (TGI = 46%, P < 0.01) and doses of 2.5 mg/kg or greater resulted in tumor regression.
