Radotinib (INN; trade name Supect), and sometimes referred to by its investigational name IY5511, is a drug for the treatment of different types of cancer, most notably Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)[1] with resistance or intolerance of other tyrosine kinase Bcr-Abl inhibitors, such as patients resistant or intolerant to the drug Imatinib (Gleevec, Glivec).

Radotinib is being developed by Ilyang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd of South Korea[2] and is co-marketed by Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, in South Korea.[3] Radotinib completed a multi-national Phase II clinical trial study in 2012[4] and in August 2011, Ilyang initiated a Phase III, multinational, multi-center, open-label, randomized study for first-line indication.[5] Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of the tyrosine kinase Bcr-Abl and of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR).[6]
