Hi, I've recently switched from Imatinib to Scemblix (80 mg day) and am wondering if Scemblix works through ROS (reactive oxygen species) activity the way Imatinib does. When I began taking Imatinib more than 4 years go, I saw some research indicating potential reduced efficacy with Imatinib if you take anti-oxidant supplements or eat too many anti-oxidant-rich foods, but I can't find any research on ROS and Scemblix online. I asked my dr. but he was not certain, so I called the manufacturer (Novartis) but they only give that info peer to peer (to another medical professional), so I circled back to my drs. office to ask someone to call Novartis, but so far I have not heard back.
Has anyone seen any info about this? I'd love to add anti-oxidants back into my diet/list of supplements, but hesitate due to not having clarity on this topic. Thanks in advance, Ann
