In June 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval for Dasatinib to treat adults with CP-CML with resistant disease or who were intolerant to prior therapy, including Imatinib. The FDA converted Dasatinib to a regular approval in May 2009, after confirmation of the treatment's safety and effectiveness. On October 28, 2010, FDA granted accelerated approval to Dasatinib for the treatment of newly diagnosed adult patients with CML-CP. Dasatinib entered thereby a marketplace with other TKIs including Nilotinib.
