Dasatinib first-line?

Just out of curiosity, does any country in Europe approve dasatinib as first line treatment?
cheers!

As far as I know dasatinib is used in the first line setting in several EU countries. In England it is possible to access dasatinib through the Cancer Drugs Fund. In Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland you have to go through a different mechanism similar to an individual patient request.

See below for the EMA marketing authorisation summary

Hope this helps
