AbstractDasatinib is a highly potent second-generation (2G) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the management of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive leukemias, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In CML, dasatinib produces higher rates of early and deeper molecular responses compared with imatinib. The drug has its share of toxicities, namely, cytopenias, cardiovascular, and pleural effusion. This review describes the pharmacological aspects of dasatinib, clinically relevant toxicities, and their management.

Dasatinib is the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Proteinuria has been reported with this agent. We describe two kidney biopsy–proven cases of dasatinib-induced thrombotic microangiopathy that responded to stoppage of dasatinib and using an alternate tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Certain specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors lead to endothelial injury and renal-limited thrombotic microangiopathy. Hematologists and nephrologists need to be familiar with this off-target effect of dasatinib.
