Medicine Overview of Enliven 100mg Capsule
Introduction
Enliven belongs to the class of medicines known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is used in the treatment of blood cancer (chronic myeloid leukaemia and Acute lymphocytic leukemia) and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Enliven should be taken with food, but better to have it same time every day to get the most benefit. You should continue to take it as long as your doctor advises for it. The duration of treatment varies according to your need and response to treatment. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects. It may take several weeks...

How Enliven works
Enliven is an anti-cancer medication. A protein enzyme, bcr-abl tyrosine kinase, responsible for the growth of abnormal proliferation of cancer cells. This medicine inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis (planned cell death) in bcr-abl positive cells (cancer cells). This is how it works to stop or slow the spread of cancer.
What if you forget to take Enliven?
If you miss a dose of Enliven, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Indicated for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase
1 year: 340 mg/m²/day PO; not to exceed 600 mg/day
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Indicated for treatment of newly diagnosed children with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
1 year: 340 mg/m²/day PO; not to exceed 600 mg/day
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity. Lactation.
Mode of Action
Imatinib, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). It blocks proliferation and induces apoptosis in BCR-ABL positive cell lines, as well as fresh leukaemic cells from Philadelphia chromosome positive CML. Imatinib also inhibits receptor kinases for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and stem cell factor (SCF), c-kit, PDGF- and SCF-mediated cellular events.
Precaution
Cardiac disease or increased risk for CHF. Monitor for signs of severe fluid retention. Monitor CBC regularly. Renal and hepatic impairment. Monitor LFTs. Pregnancy.
Lactation: Imatinib and its active metabolite are excreted into human milk; advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after last dose

Potentially Fatal: Hepatotoxicity, cerebral oedema, increased intracranial pressure, papilloedema. Severe fluid retention resulting in pleural and pericardial effusion, pulmonary oedema and ascites. Rarely, GI perforation.
Interaction
Increased serum levels w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics). Reduced serum levels w/ CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, dexamethasone, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin). May increase serum levels of substrates of CYP3A4 (e.g. ciclosporin, pimozide, triazolo-benzodiazepines, dihydropyridine Ca channel blockers, certain statins), CYP2C9 (e.g. warfarin) and CYP2D6.
