treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
(Lancet 2015;385:1447; Hematol Oncol Clin North Am2017;31:577)
HMA: azacitidine or decitabine
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI)
❌ abl kinase activity.
-
1st gen:
-
2nd gen:
- nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib.
- consider if high Sokal score, ↑ response but ↑ toxicity.
- No survival difference.
-
3rd gen:
- ponatinib;
- a/w ↓ risk of disease progress of treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
- preferred for int-high risk,
- but ↑ toxicity
- Imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, & bosutinib approved for 1st line Rx.
- Nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, ponatinib, & asciminib approved for resistant disease;
- only ponatinib & asciminib effective on T315I mutation (NEJM 2012;367:2075, Blood 2021;138:2031).
-
STAMP (allosteric inhibitor): asciminib (NEJM 2019;381:2315); after ≥2 prior TKIs
-
Resistance: due to ↑ BCR-ABL1 expression, often 2/2 ABL kinase mutation or amplification
-
Consider allogeneic HSCT for AP and BP.
-
CML in pregnancy: hydroxyurea & all TKIs contraind. If Rx needed, IFN (only option).
