Moulik NR, Harriss-Buchan A, Saglio G, Evans N, Suttorp M. Cases of Patients Treated in Countries With Limited Resources and Discussed by Experts of the International CML Foundation (iCMLf)-Case No. 1: A Boy Presenting With Priapism and Loss of Vision. Case Rep Oncol Med 2024; 2024:5534445. [PMID: 39104564 PMCID: PMC11300043 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5534445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia (pCML) is a rare malignancy accounting for only 2%-3% of all childhood leukemias. Due to this rarity, familiarity with pCML is limited among most pediatric practitioners, including even pediatric hemato-oncologists. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), limited financial resources and limited data specific to pCML represent obstacles that healthcare providers must face in diagnosing and treating this rare condition in children. The International CML Foundation (iCMLf) is improving outcomes for people with CML in these countries where resources, diagnostics, and access to medicines may be limited (https://www.cml-foundation.org/lmic-programs.html). Virtual meetings with the purpose of teaching participating pediatricians from LMICs of defined geographical regions were organised by the iCMLf in 2023. At a virtual meeting of the South Asia region, the case of a 14-year-old Indian boy was presented diagnosed with CML in a chronic phase complicated by priapism and loss of vision in his left eye due to hyperleukocytosis. Key aspects of this case are discussed in-depth from the perspective of (i) a pediatric hemato-oncologist practicing in a high-income country, (ii) a pediatric hemato-oncologist practicing in a LMIC, (iii) an adult CML hematologist, and (iv) from the iCMLf in improving the care of children with CML worldwide. Thus by discussing a multifaceted complicated case of pCML in written form as well as pointing to the pediatric module of the iCMLf Knowledge Centre will hopefully contribute to minimize existing knowledge gaps in a rare pediatric malignancy.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have drastically improved the outcomes of pCML (paediatric CML) but data on long-term off-target toxicities of TKIs in children are scarce. In this single-centre, retrospective cum prospective study of pCML in chronic phase, we report our experience of treating 173 children with imatinib and following them for long-term toxicities. Mean (SD) time to attain CHR, CCyR and MMR were 3.05 (2.1), 10.6 (8.4) and 43.4 (31.8) months respectively. DMR was not attained in 59 (34%) patients at last follow-up. Ten patients were switched to second-generation TKIs (2G-TKIs; nilotinib = 1/dasatinib = 9) due to poor/loss in response, of which seven had kinase domain mutations. Three patients progressed to the blastic phase. At a median follow-up of 84 (3-261) months, the 5-year EFS and OS for the entire cohort were 96.9% (95% CI: 93.4-100) and 98.7% (95% CI: 96.9-100) respectively. Screening for long-term toxicities revealed low bone density and hypovitaminosis D in 70% and 80% respectively. Other late effects included short stature (27%), delayed puberty (15%), poor sperm quality (43%) and miscellaneous endocrinopathies (8%). Children younger than 5 years at diagnosis were more susceptible to growth and endocrine toxicities (p = 0.009). Regular monitoring for long-term toxicities, timely intervention and trial of discontinuation whenever feasible are likely to improve the long-term outlook of pCML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Barely two per million Belgian children/adolescents are diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) annually. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic features, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment outcome of this rare entity. METHODS Medical records of all pediatric CML patients (age ≤ 17 years) diagnosed at the University Hospitals Leuven between 1986 and 2021 were reviewed. RESULTS Fourteen patients (median age at diagnosis 12.5 years) were included, all presenting in chronic phase. Five patients were diagnosed before 2003; main therapy included hydroxyurea (n = 5/5), interferon-alfa (n = 3/5) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-Tx) (n = 3/5). Complete hematologic response (CHR), complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and major molecular response (MMR) was reached in resp. 4/5, 4/5 and in 2/3 of evaluable patients. Three patients progressed to accelerated/blast phase (median time 19 months) and 1/5 is alive and disease-free at last follow-up. Nine patients were diagnosed after 2003 and were treated with first generation (1°G) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI): 3/9 subsequently underwent an allo-Tx, 4/9 were switched to 2°G TKI, one patient was additionally switched to 3°G TKI. CHR, CCyR and MMR was reached in 9/9, 9/9 and 8/9 of these patients. No progression to accelerated/blast phase was observed and none of these patients deceased. At last follow-up, 7/9 patients were in MMR or disease free, the two remaining patients did not reach or lost MMR, both related to compliance issues. CONCLUSION Our study confirmed that TKI significantly improved the prognosis of pediatric CML. However, drug compliance poses a considerable challenge.

Abstract
Response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is monitored by quantification of BCR::ABL1 transcript levels. Milestones for assessing optimal treatment response have been defined in adult CML patients and are applied to children and adolescents although it is questionable whether transferability to pediatric patients is appropriate regarding genetic and clinical differences. Therefore, we analyzed the molecular response kinetics to TKI therapy in 129 pediatric CML patients and investigated whether response assessment based on continuous references can support an early individual therapy adjustment. We applied a moving quantiles approach to establish a high-resolution response target curve and contrasted the median responses in all patients with the median of the ideal target curve obtained from a subgroup of optimal responders. The high-resolution response target curve of the optimal responder group presents a valuable tool for continuous therapy monitoring of individual pediatric CML patients in addition to the fixed milestones. By further comparing BCR::ABL1 transcript levels with BCR::ABL1 fusion gene copy numbers, it is also possible to model the differential dynamics of BCR::ABL1 expression and cell number under therapy. The developed methodology can be transferred to other biomarkers for continuous therapy monitoring.

Abstract
During the past decade, the outcomes of pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have plateaued with 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of approximately 46 and 64%, respectively. Outcomes are particularly poor for those children with high-risk disease, who have 5-year OS of 46%. Substantial survival improvements have been observed for a subset of patients treated with targeted therapies. Specifically, children with KMT2A-rearranged AML and/or FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations benefitted from the addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin, an anti-CD33 antibody-drug conjugate, in the AAML0531 clinical trial (NCT00372593). Sorafenib also improved response and survival in children with FLT3-ITD AML in the AAML1031 clinical trial (NCT01371981). Advances in characterization of prognostic cytomolecular events have helped to identify patients at highest risk of relapse and facilitated allocation to consolidative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in first remission. Some patients clearly have improved survival with HSCT, although the benefit is largely unknown for most patients. Finally, data-driven refinements in supportive care recommendations continue to evolve with meaningful and measurable reductions in toxicity and improvements in EFS and OS. As advances in application of targeted therapies, risk stratification, and improved supportive care measures are incorporated into current trials and become standard-of-care, there is every expectation that we will see improved survival with a reduction in toxic morbidity and mortality. The research agenda of the Children's Oncology Group's Myeloid Diseases Committee continues to build upon experience and outcomes with an overarching goal of curing more children with AML.

Abstract
Acute leukemia is the most common malignancy in childhood, while chronic myeloid leukemia is rare, accounting for only 2% to 3% of all leukemia in childhood and 9% in adolescents, with an annual incidence of 1 and 2.2 cases per million in the two groups. The goal in Pediatrics is remission and cure with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monitoring closely for long-term effects of TKI use.

Abstract
Pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a very rare malignancy (age-related incidence 0.1/100,000) typically presenting with leucocyte counts >100,000/µL. However, clinical signs of leukostasis are observed at diagnosis in only approximately 10% of all cases and among these, priapism is infrequent. Here, we analyze data from pediatric CML registries on the occurrence of priapism heralding diagnosis of CML in 16/491 (3.2%) boys (median age 13.5 years, range 4-18) with pediatric CML. In the cohort investigated, duration of priapism resulting in a diagnosis of CML was not reported in 5 patients, and in the remaining 11 patients, occurred as stuttering priapism over 3 months (n = 1), over 6 weeks (n = 1), over 1-2 weeks (n = 2), over several days (n = 2), or 24 h (n = 1), while the remaining 4 boys reported continuous erection lasting over 11-12 h. All patients exhibited splenomegaly and massive leukocytosis (median WBC 470,000/µL, range 236,700-899,000). Interventions to treat priapism were unknown in 5 patients, and in the remaining cohort, comprised intravenous fluids ± heparin (n = 2), penile puncture (n = 5) ± injection of sympathomimetics (n = 4) ± intracavernous shunt operation (n = 1) paralleled by leukocyte-reductive measures. Management without penile puncture by leukapheresis or exchange transfusion was performed in 3 boys. In total, 7 out 15 (47%) long-term survivors (median age 20 years, range 19-25) responded to a questionnaire. All had maintained full erectile function; however, 5/7 had presented with stuttering priapism while in the remaining 2 patients priapism had lasted <12 h until intervention. At its extreme, low-flow priapism lasting for longer than 24 h may result in partial or total impotence by erectile dysfunction. This physical disability can exert a large psychological impact on patients' lives. In a narrative review fashion, we analyzed the literature on priapism in boys with CML which is by categorization stuttering or persisting as mostly painful, ischemic (low-flow) priapism. Details on the pathophysiology are discussed on the background of the different blood rheology of hyperleukocytosis in acute and chronic leukemias. In addition to the data collected, instructive case vignettes demonstrate the diagnostic and treatment approaches and the outcome of boys presenting with priapism. An algorithm for management of priapism in a stepwise fashion is presented. All approaches must be performed in parallel with cytoreductive treatment of leukostasis in CML which comprises leukapheresis and exchange transfusions ± cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Abstract
With the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the treatment prospects of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have changed markedly. This innovation can lengthen the long-term survival of patients suffering from CML. However, long-term exposure to TKIs is accompanied by various adverse events (AEs). The latter affect the quality of life and compliance of patients with CML, and may lead to serious disease progression (and even death). Recently, increasing numbers of patients with CML have begun to pursue a dose optimization strategy. Dose optimization may be considered at all stages of the entire treatment, which includes dose reduction and discontinuation of TKIs therapy. In general, reduction of the TKI dose is considered to be an important measure to reduce AEs and improve quality of life on the premise of maintaining molecular responses. Furthermore, discontinuation of TKIs therapy has been demonstrated to be feasible and safe for about half of patients with a stable optimal response and a longer duration of TKI treatment. This review focuses mainly on the latest research of dose optimization of imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib in CML clinical trials and real-life settings. We consider dose reduction in newly diagnosed patients, or in optimal response, or for improving AEs, either as a prelude to treatment-free remission (TFR) or as maintenance therapy in those patients unable to discontinue TKIs therapy. In addition, we also focus on discontinuation of TKIs therapy and second attempts to achieve TFR.

Abstract
The clinical presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at diagnosis differs in children compared to adults. At younger age, anemia appears to be frequent at diagnosis, but its prevalence and its impact on prognosis are not well known. In the International Registry of Childhood CML, we selected children and adolescents in chronic phase at diagnosis of CML and treated upfront with imatinib. We examined their hemoglobin level at diagnosis according to the WHO grades to assess the prevalence of anemia and its impact on response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Data on 430 patients were included. Anemia at diagnosis was observed in 350 patients (81%), with a mean hemoglobin level of 96.4 g/l (SD 23.6). Among them, 182 patients (52%) presented with moderate anemia and 110 (31%) with severe anemia while 58 (17%) had mild anemia. Compared with mild and no anemia, moderate and severe forms were significantly associated with younger age at diagnosis, asthenia, splenomegaly, and increased leukocyte and basophil counts. Delays in achieving major and deep molecular responses were significantly increased for patients with moderate and severe anemia, and also failure of imatinib treatment was more frequent in these two sub-cohorts. However, hemoglobin level was not significantly associated with survival. Anemia at diagnosis of pediatric CML was frequent and may be considered as a prognostic factor.

Abstract
Incidence rates of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are lower but more aggressive in children than in adults due to different biological and host factors. After the clinical application of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) blocking BCR/ABL kinase activity, the prognosis of children with CML and Ph+ ALL has improved dramatically. Yet, off-target effects and drug tolerance will occur during the TKI treatments, contributing to treatment failure. In addition, compared to adults, children may need a longer course of TKIs therapy, causing detrimental effects on growth and development. In recent years, accumulating evidence indicates that drug resistance and side effects during TKI treatment may result from the cellular metabolism alterations. In this review, we provide a detailed summary of the current knowledge on alterations in metabolic pathways including glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and other metabolic processes. In order to obtain better TKI treatment outcomes and avoid side effects, it is essential to understand how the TKIs affect cellular metabolism. Hence, we also discuss the relevance of cellular metabolism in TKIs therapy to provide ideas for better use of TKIs in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Due to lack of pediatric-specific data, the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in pediatric, adolescents, and young adults is guided by adult CML evidence-based recommendations. Pediatric CML presents differently than adult CML and is often a more aggressive disease with different biological and host factors, yet there is sparse literature on how to address those differences. Recent Findings Over the past two decades, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have changed the way CML is treated. There are currently three FDA-approved TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib) for pediatric patients. When choosing which TKI to begin treatment with, there are many factors that should be considered on a case-to-case basis to obtain optimal outcomes. The safety profiles for long-term TKI use in pediatrics require further study. Unlike adults, children are still actively growing during TKI use, and the effect on development can be detrimental. TKI therapy is not recommended during pregnancy with variable but significant risk of fetal abnormalities and miscarriage, warranting counseling for young female patients prior to beginning TKIs. Attempts for treatment-free remission (TFR) by planned TKI cessation in eligible adult patients in deep and sustained molecular remission are now done as a standard of practice. However, data is sparse in the pediatric population. There is currently an ongoing Children’s Oncology Group (COG) study to determine the feasibility of TFR as a treatment goal. Summary Further research and additional pediatric trials are needed to characterize the unique aspects of CML in children and adolescents and optimize outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The breakthrough effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have lessened indications for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, HSCT is still attractive for children and adolescents/young adults (AYAs) requiring lifelong TKI therapy. Nevertheless, little has been reported on the outcomes of large clinical studies of HSCT targeting these age groups. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify prognostic factors for the outcomes of HSCT, including reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC)-HSCT, for children and AYAs with CML in the TKI era. STUDY DESIGN We performed a registry analysis for 200 patients with CML aged <30 years who underwent pretransplant TKI therapy from the observational nationwide database established by the Japanese Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. The patients received bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood (PB), or cord blood (CB) from either related or unrelated donors. The indication for HSCT for individual patients was determined by the institution according to European LeukemiaNet recommendations and other guidelines. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients with chronic phase (CP) (n = 124), accelerated phase (AP) (n = 23), and blastic phase (BP) (n = 53) at diagnosis were 82.8%, 71.1%, and 73.3%, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.3293). The strongest predictor of engraftment was transplant source, with CB (hazard ratio [HR], 0.33) and PB (HR, 2.00) (compared with BM) being independent unfavorable and favorable predictors, respectively. Transplant source was also an independent predictor of chronic GVHD, with PB (HR, 1.81) and CB (HR, 0.39) (compared with BM) being unfavorable and favorable predictors, respectively. The strongest predictor of OS rate for patients with CP at diagnosis was disease phase at HSCT, with second or greater CP, AP, or BP (HR, 2.81) (compared with first CP [CP1]) being an unfavorable predictor. In addition, patients with CP at diagnosis who had major and complete molecular responses at HSCT had excellent outcomes, with 5-year OS rates of 100% and 94.4%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was compared between RIC (n = 31) and myeloablative conditioning (MAC) (n = 58) in patients with CP1, both of which were 89.3%, with no significant difference (P = 0.9440). On univariate analysis for the RIC cohort with CP at diagnosis, the age at HSCT (HR, 1.27) (increase per year) and the time from diagnosis to HSCT (HR, 1.83) (increase per year) were significant predictors for OS. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that RIC may be an appropriate alternative to MAC for children and AYAs with CP1. As for the transplant source, we recommend first selecting BM because of a higher engraftment rate compared to CB and a lower incidence of chronic GVHD compared to PB. Although HSCT in the status of a major molecular response is desirable, it is not advisable to continue TKI pointlessly long because age at HSCT and timing of HSCT are prognostic factors that determine survival. The decision to perform RIC-HSCT instead of continuing TKI should be carefully made, considering the possibility of transplant-related complications.

Abstract
Pediatric Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia can mimic chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in T-lineage blast crisis (BC). Differentiating the 2 is critical in guiding therapy as most children with de novo Ph+ acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia are treated with chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, whereas T-lineage BC of CML can include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We present a unique case of CML in T-lineage BC. The patient was treated with induction chemotherapy plus imatinib followed by matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. She is currently off all medications and in complete disease remission.

Abstract
Hematolymphoid malignancies are common neoplasms in childhood. The involvement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, biliary system, pancreas, and peritoneum are closely interlinked and commonly encountered. In leukemias, lymphomas, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), the manifestations result from infiltration, compression, overwhelmed immune system, and chemotherapy-induced drug toxicities. In acute leukemias, major manifestations are infiltrative hepatitis, drug induced gastritis, neutropenic typhlitis and chemotherapy related pancreatitis. Chronic leukemias are rare. Additional presentation in lymphomas is cholestasis due to infiltration or biliary obstruction by lymph nodal masses. Presence of ascites needs a thorough workup for the underlying pathophysiology that may modify the therapy and affect the outcome. Uncommon hematolymphoid malignancies are primary hepatic, hepatosplenic, and GI lymphomas which have strict definitions. In advanced diseases with extensive spread, it may be impossible to distinguish these diseases from the primary site of origin. LCH produces biliary strictures that mimic as sclerosing cholangitis. Liver infiltration is associated with poor liver recovery even after chemotherapy. The heterogeneity of gut and liver manifestations in hematolymphoid malignancies has a clinical impact on their management. Though chemotherapy is the mainstay of therapy in all hematolymphoid malignancies, debulking surgery and radiotherapy have an adjuvant role in specific clinical scenarios. Rare situations presenting as liver failure or end-stage liver disease require liver transplantation. At their initial presentation to a primary care physician, given the ambiguity in clinical manifestations and the prognostic difference with time-bound management, it is vital to recognize them early for optimal outcomes. Pooled data from robust registries across the world is required for better understanding of these complications.

Abstract
Children with CML need TKI treatment for many years, and the lack of knowledge about immune dysfunction with TKI has hindered routine immunizations. This review attempts to provide an overview of the effects of TKIs licensed for children (e.g., imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib) on immune function, as well as its implications on immunizations. We discuss surveillance strategies (e.g., immunoglobulin blood serum levels and hepatitis B reactivation) and immunizations. All inactivated vaccines (e.g., influenza, pneumococcal, and streptococcal) can be given during the treatment of CML in the chronic phase, although their efficacy may be lower. As shown in single cases of children and adults with CML, live vaccines (e.g., varicella, measles, mumps, rubella, and yellow fever) may be administered under defined circumstances with great precautions. We also highlight important aspects of COVID-19 in this patient population (e.g., the outcome of COVID-19 infection in adults with CML and in children with varying hemato-oncological diseases) and discuss the highly dynamic field of presently available different vaccination options. In conclusion, TKI treatment for CML causes humoral and cellular immune dysfunction, which is mild in most patients, and thus infectious complications are rare. Routine immunizations are important for health maintenance of children, but vaccinations for children with CML on TKI therapy should be carefully considered.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is rare in children but presents a unique challenge as recent drug innovations have turned CML into a chronic disease with implications for treatment into adulthood. With the approval of newer-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in addition to imatinib, providers have more options for the treatment of chronic-phase CML (CML-CP) in children. The second-generation TKIs approved for use in children, nilotinib and dasatinib, have higher response rates than first-generation imatinib; however, overall survival rates appear to be the same. Even more options may soon become available with ongoing investigations into the use of bosutinib and ponatinib and other new agents in children. Possible long-term side effects of TKIs, including growth failure, should be carefully acknowledged by the treating provider. Although these known associations may not preclude treatment, providers should be aware of them to guide their management of pediatric patients with CML being treated long term with TKI therapy. Treatment-free remission is a desired goal for pediatric patients and providers alike, but current recommendations are for attempts at achieving this to be restricted to clinical study settings.

Abstract
Simple Summary The low incidence (1:1,000,000) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the first two decades of life presents an obstacle to accumulation of pediatric experience and knowledge on this leukemia. Biological features of CML are shared but also differing between adult and pediatric patients. This review aims; (i) to define the disease based on an unified terminology, (ii) to list the diseases to be considered as a differential diagnosis in children, (iii) to outlines the morphological, histopathological and immuno-phenotypical findings of pediatric CML, (iv) to illustrate rare but classical complications resulting from high white cell and platelet counts at diagnosis, and (v) to recommend a uniform approach for the diagnostic procedures to be applied. Evidently, only a clear detailed picture of all relevant features can lay the basis for standardized treatment approaches. Abstract Depending on the analytical tool applied, the hallmarks of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are the Philadelphia Chromosome and the resulting mRNA fusion transcript BCR-ABL1. With an incidence of 1 per 1 million of children this malignancy is very rare in the first 20 years of life. This article aims to; (i) define the disease based on the WHO nomenclature, the appropriate ICD 11 code and to unify the terminology, (ii) delineate features of epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology that are shared, but also differing between adult and pediatric patients with CML, (iii) give a short summary on the diseases to be considered as a differential diagnosis of pediatric CML, (iv) to describe the morphological, histopathological and immunophenotypical findings of CML in pediatric patients, (v) illustrate rare but classical complications resulting from rheological problems observed at diagnosis, (vi) list essential and desirable diagnostic criteria, which hopefully in the future will help to unify the attempts when approaching this rare pediatric malignancy.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease among children. A retrospective study was conducted from November 2002 to March 2019 at a single institution in China. A total of 36 pediatric CML patients (25 male and 11 female) were enrolled. Median follow-up time was 51 months (range 8-144), and 5-year overall survival and event-free survival were 95.5 ± 4.4% and 88.9 ± 6.0%, respectively. Among the 25 patients whose response to imatinib mesylate (IM) was regularly monitored, 92.0% achieved complete hematologic response at 3 months, 80.0% achieved complete cytogenetic response at 12 months, and 64.0% achieved major molecular response at 18 months after IM therapy. A higher WBC count at diagnosis was associated with failure to achieve early molecular response (EMR). Height standard deviation score after long-term treatment was significantly and positively correlated with age at diagnosis and at the start of IM therapy. Overall, IM therapy was effective in treating pediatric CML, and WBC count at diagnosis might be an ideal predictor of EMR. Moreover, retardation of height and weight growth due to IM tended to affect patients younger than 9 years old at diagnosis, and longitudinal growth might normalize further into treatment.

Sudden blast phase in pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia-chronic phase with abnormal lymphoid blasts detected by flow cytometry at diagnosis: Can it be considered a warning sign? CYTOMETRY PART B-CLINICAL CYTOMETRY 2020; 100:345-351. [PMID: 33030302 DOI: 10.1002/cyto.b.21958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inconclusive knowledge persists regarding the course of chronic myeloid leukemia-chronic phase (CML-CP) patients with detectable abnormal blasts by flow-cytometry at diagnosis. The 2016 WHO classification is not specific regarding sub-classification of CML with <10% abnormal B-lymphoid blasts (ABLB), and suggests these patients often show rapid progression. We report the clinical course of pediatric CML-CP patients who had detectable abnormal blasts by flow-cytometry at baseline. METHODS Retrospective audit of all pediatric CML patients between January 2013 and December 2017 were included. Their clinical presentation, demographic profile, and treatment outcomes were extracted from electronic medical records. Some of these patients got flow-cytometry done by default, though it was not a routine part of diagnostic CML marrow studies. RESULTS Amongst 65 pediatric CML patients, flow-cytometry at initial diagnosis was available in 15 (CP-12; AP-3). Of the 12 CML-CP patients, 10 (83%) had abnormal flow-cytometric findings-5 (50%) with mixed lineage blasts (4-B/Myeloid, 1-B/T/Myeloid), and myeloid lineage blasts in the remaining 5 (50%). At a median follow-up of 26 months (range: 9-34 months), 3/5 patients with ABLB at diagnosis progressed to frank blast crisis (2 B-cell; 1 Mixed lineage). None among the five patients with diagnostic myeloid-alone aberrant blasts progressed to blast crisis. Imatinib resistant mutation was also found in 3/5 (60%) CML-CP patients with these ABLB at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Although a retrospective study with limited sample size, presence of ABLB detected on flow-cytometry in CML-CP patients, had a noticeable early conversion to CML-BC in our cohort. Incorporation of flow-cytometry in diagnostic work-up can provide useful insight regarding the behavior of pediatric CML-CP patients and guide therapy.

Abstract
Imatinib-induced tyrosine kinase inhibition extends beyond the BCR-ABL mutation, resulting in adverse effects. We evaluated hypogammaglobulinemia as a potential 'off-target' action of imatinib in children with CML. A cross-sectional, observational study was performed. Patients with CML in chronic phase, age <18-years at diagnosis, receiving imatinib for a duration exceeding 6-months were enrolled. Serum immunoglobulin G, A, and M were measured by end-point nephelometry. Thirty patients were enrolled. The mean age at diagnosis was 10.4 ± 3.1 years (range: 5-18). The mean age at enrollment was 16.4 ± 4.1 years (range: 9-23). The median dose of imatinib was 287.5 mg/m2 (IQR: 267.3, 345.0). The median duration of imatinib-therapy was 6-years (IQR: 3.0, 10.3). The median (IQR) normalized levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM were 33.0% (IQR: -12.8, 58.7), 28.1% (IQR: -17.0, 90.1) and 15.9% (IQR: -9.3, 40.5), respectively. The IgG, IgA, and IgM levels were reduced in 9 (30%), 8 (27%), and 10 (33%) patients, respectively. Five (17%) patients had pan-hypogammaglobulinemia. We suggest checking immunoglobulin levels in patients with CML receiving imatinib with recurrent/unusual infections.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder associated with the Philadelphia chromosome t (9;22) and the BCR-ABL fusion gene. The condition is relatively rare, accounting for 2.0% to 3.0% of childhood leukemia cases. CML has historically been a triphasic disease. Most patients are diagnosed in chronic phase. Without treatment, it inevitably progresses into a more aggressive accelerated phase and blast crisis. Some proportion of CML cases of blastic transformation develop an extramedullary disease that involves rarely central nervous system. This report describe an extremely rare case of 13-year-old girl with CML and extramedullary blast crisis in the central nervous system. Treatment options and monitoring of disease response are discussed.

Abstract
The therapeutic approach to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) has changed since the advent of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib, which was then followed by the second generation TKIs dasatinib, nilotinib, and, finally, by ponatinib, a third-generation drug. At present, these therapeutic options represent the first-line treatment for adults. Based on clinical experience, imatinb, dasatinib, and nilotinib have been approved for children even though the studies that were concerned with efficacy and safety toward pediatric patients are still awaiting more specific and high-quality data. In this scenario, it is of utmost importance to prospectively validate data extrapolated from adult studies to set a standard therapeutic management for pediatric CML by employing appropriate formulations on the basis of pediatric clinical trials, which allow a careful monitoring of TKI-induced adverse effects especially in growing children exposed to long-term therapy.

Abstract
Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) is an effective therapy for children and adolescents with chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). For the majority of patients with CML in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), imatinib is the TKI of choice for reasons of cost, availability, and experience. Children are exposed to therapy for a greater proportion of their lifetime as compared to adults. The adverse effects of prolonged administration of TKI is a subject of ongoing research, as more experience is collected. Therapy with TKI is currently considered to be life-long. Trials on stopping treatment are ongoing to explore if it may be feasible in selected patients, as reported in adults. Growth-failure is a concerning adverse effect. Currently, it seems unclear if the final height attained is within the expected range of the mid-parenteral height and growth standards. Whether the children will achieve a normal height at the end of their growth potential or remain below the predicted range is critical to decide if therapeutic interventions (E.g., growth hormone therapy, or interruption in TKI) should be considered during the period of growth potential. Research on CML in children is at a relatively slow pace, largely due to the rarity of the disease. This provides a unique opportunity for research in population-dense LMICs, as several tertiary centers tend to have a sizable cohort of children and adolescents with CML on follow-up. This narrative summarises the challenges and opportunities in dealing with CML in children, particularly in reference to a center in LMIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Despite the apparent efficacy and favorable toxicity profile of TKIs, allogeneic SCT remains the only curative treatment for CML especially in younger patients, but TRM should be considered. We evaluated the clinical outcomes of pediatric CML patients who had SCT in our center. METHODS This retrospective study included children with CML, who received an allogeneic SCT at Children Cancer Hospital Egypt, 57357, from 2007 to 2017. All patients received myeloablative conditioning chemotherapy containing busulfan/cyclophosphamide followed by stem cell infusion from MRD. RESULTS From 121 patients diagnosed with CML, 43 had available MRD and subjected to HSCT while 78 patients continued TKI therapy. The median time to transplant from diagnosis was 13 months. At initial diagnosis, there were 39 patients in CP and 4 had blastic crises. Bone marrow harvest was the stem cell source in 32 patients, while 11 cases received mobilized peripheral blood stem cells with average stem cell dose of 4.45 × 106 /kg. The probabilities of overall survival and event-free survival at 5 years were 97.4% and 79.8%, respectively. TRM at 100 days and TRM at 1-year post-transplant were 0%. The incidence of chronic GVHD was significantly higher in peripheral blood than bone marrow stem cell source (P = .004). CONCLUSION Considering the excellent survival rates and very low TRM, HSCT is still a valid option for pediatric patients with newly diagnosed CML with best using marrow stem cell source to avoid a significant risk of cGVHD and its related complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is an uncommon malignancy in children in which tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved outcome in recent years. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of CML patients (≤ 18 years old) presenting to our center between January 2005 and December 2018 with respect to baseline demographics, response to imatinib, and real-world management of those with a suboptimal response. RESULTS A total of 124 patients were diagnosed with CML with 99 (80%) in the chronic phase. There was a male preponderance (males:females = 3.1:1) with a median age of 13 years. The common presenting clinical features were splenomegaly (90.9%) and fever (51.5%) with a median leukocyte count of 165 × 103/μL. The proportion of patients attaining a complete hematologic response (CHR) at 3 months, a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 12 months, and a major molecular response at 12 months were 79.7%, 54.1%, and 50.9%, respectively. At a median follow-up of 67.4 months, the 5-year overall survival rate and the event-free survival (EFS) rate were 92% ± 3% and 64% ± 6%, respectively. Failure to achieve CCyR at 12 months was associated with poor EFS beyond 1 year (hazard ratio = 2.865, P = .044). Among 15 patients not achieving CHR at 3 months, dose escalation of imatinib resulted in the attainment of CHR in 13 (87%) patients. Seven patients in the cohort had a loss of the established response to imatinib because of documented poor compliance. CONCLUSION Imatinib remains the frontline treatment of choice in CML with a reasonable outcome in children, especially when financial affordability, availability of second-generation TKIs, and poor compliance still remain major challenges in management. Dose escalation of imatinib remains an option in patients with a suboptimal response.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is rare in children and accounts for ≤15% of all myeloid leukemia cases. When we initiated this study with nilotinib, imatinib was the only tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for pediatric patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) CML in chronic phase (CP); alternative treatment options were needed, particularly for patients who developed resistance or intolerance (R/I) to imatinib. This phase 2 study enrolled pediatric patients with either Ph+ CML-CP R/I to imatinib or dasatinib or newly diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP. Data presented are from analyses with minimum follow-up of up to 24 cycles (1 cycle is 28 days). Fifty-nine patients with Ph+ CML-CP were enrolled, and 58 were treated (R/I, n = 33; newly diagnosed, n = 25). Major molecular response (MMR) rate at cycle 6 in the R/I cohort was 39.4% (primary end point); 57.6% of patients achieved or maintained MMR and 81.8% achieved or maintained complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) by 24 cycles. In patients with newly diagnosed disease, rates of MMR by cycle 12 and CCyR at cycle 12 were 64.0% each (primary end points); by cycle 24, cumulative MMR and CCyR rates were 68.0% and 84.0%, respectively. The safety profile of nilotinib in pediatric patients was generally comparable with the known safety profile in adults, although cardiovascular events were not observed in this study, and hepatic laboratory abnormalities were more frequent; no new safety signals were identified. In summary, nilotinib demonstrated efficacy and a manageable safety profile in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML-CP. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01844765.

Abstract
Paediatric chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) has biological and clinical differences from adult CML. Management of paediatric CML presents unique challenges in growing children, and there are no specific guidelines for paediatric CML. This review focusses on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic issues and management of paediatric CML. Major studies that provide the basis of managing paediatric CML are summerized here. Studies conducted on adult CML patients were used to guide the management of places where studies were lacking in paediatric CML. Recently, dasatinib and nilotinib have been approved for treatment of paediatric CML, and their role has been discussed in the current management perspective. Allogeneic transplant, fertility and vaccination in paediatric CML, have also been discussed.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease in children. Different from that in adults, childhood CML involves transformative events occurring over a short time period. CML transformation to lymphoid blast phase (BP) is associated with copy number abnormalities, characteristic of BCR-ABL1 positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but not of CML in the chronic phase. Here, we present an unusual case of CML progressing to BP in a 1.6-year-old child, harboring IKZF1, PAX5, CDKN2A, and ETV6 deletions at diagnosis. It remains to be addressed whether distinct mechanisms might account for CML pathogenesis in early childhood.

Abstract
Evidence-based recommendations have been established for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in adults treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but the rarity of this leukemia in children and adolescents makes it challenging to develop similar recommendations in pediatrics. In addition to imatinib, which was approved for pediatric CML in 2003, the second-generation TKIs dasatinib and nilotinib were recently approved for use in children, expanding the therapeutic options and pushing allogeneic stem cell transplantation to a third-line treatment of most pediatric cases. Yet, without sufficient data on efficacy and safety specific to pediatric patients, the selection of a TKI continues to rely on clinical experience in adults. Here, we present 4 case scenarios highlighting common yet challenging issues encountered in the treatment of pediatric CML (suboptimal response, poor treatment adherence, growth retardation, and presentation in advanced phases). Limited experience with very young children, the transition of teenagers to adult medicine, and the goal of achieving treatment-free remission for this rare leukemia are additional significant obstacles that require further clinical investigation through international collaboration.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been linked to bone pain and linear growth attenuation in children with TKI-treated chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). We describe the skeletal phenotype in an 11-year-old boy with chronic bone pain due to TKI-treated CML, including his response to intravenous (IV) pamidronate. This boy was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML at 4 years of age. He was treated with imatinib for 3 years, followed by dasatinib for 4 years. At age 11 years, he was seen in a bone health clinic with a 4-year history of leg pains that necessitated regular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and downward crossing of height percentiles (from the 25th to fifth). The bone volume/tissue volume Z-score was +1.6 for a trans-iliac bone biopsy specimen, with an increase in trabecular number (Z-score, +3.1). Bone formation and resorption parameters on trabecular surfaces were within normal limits. Tibia volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) and bone geometry were normal by peripheral quantitative computed tomography, areal BMD Z-scores were average or above average at multiple skeletal sites by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and tibia length Z-score was reduced (−2.3). Growth- and bone-related biochemical studies were unremarkable except a low serum alkaline phosphatase level. His bone pain resolved completely after 9 months of low-dose IV pamidronate. An increase in trans-iliac trabecular number and shortened tibia were the main skeletal features in this patient. Short-term IV pamidronate was effective for mitigating bone pain, allowing this boy to continue receiving dasatinib without the need for chronic NSAID therapy.

Abstract
June 2018 was the 20th anniversary of the clinical use of the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib, for chronic myeloid leukemia. Since then, the change in prognosis for patients with this disease is one of the major success stories of modern cancer medicine. The dilemmas that face physicians and patients are no longer only those concerned with delaying inevitable progression to the terminal blastic phase or selecting the individuals most likely to benefit from allogeneic stem-cell transplantation; rather, they are now focused also on the choice of TKI, the management of comorbidities and adverse effects, strategies to improve quality of life, and the appropriateness of a trial of therapy discontinuation. Interestingly, with 4 TKIs approved for frontline use, the choice of initial therapy continues to cause controversy, a situation made more complicated by the tantalizing prospect of treatment-free remission. In this manuscript, we will explore the factors influencing this decision and try to provide a pragmatic and clinically applicable solution.

Abstract
Purpose Safe, effective treatments are needed for pediatric patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). Dasatinib is approved for treatment of adults and children with CML-CP. A phase I study determined suitable dosing for children with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemias. Methods CA180-226/NCT00777036 is a phase II, open-label, nonrandomized prospective trial of patients < 18 years of age receiving dasatinib. There are three cohorts: (1) imatinib-resistant/intolerant CML-CP, (2) imatinib-resistant/intolerant CML in accelerated/blast phase or Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 17), and (3) newly diagnosed CML-CP treated with tablets or powder for oral suspension. Major cytogenetic response > 30% for imatinib-resistant/intolerant patients and complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) > 55% for newly diagnosed patients were of clinical interest. Results Of 113 patients with CML-CP, 14 (48%) who were imatinib-resistant/intolerant and 61 (73%) who were newly diagnosed remained on treatment at time of analysis. Major cytogenetic response > 30% was reached by 3 months in the imatinib-resistant/intolerant group and CCyR > 55% was reached by 6 months in the newly diagnosed CML-CP group. CCyR and major molecular response by 12 months, respectively, were 76% and 41% in the imatinib-resistant/intolerant group and 92% and 52% in newly diagnosed CML-CP group. Progression-free survival by 48 months was 78% and 93% in the imatinib-resistant/intolerant and newly diagnosed CML-CP groups, respectively. No dasatinib-related pleural or pericardial effusion, pulmonary edema, or pulmonary arterial hypertension were reported. Bone growth and development events were reported in 4% of patients. Conclusion In the largest prospective trial to date in children with CML-CP, we demonstrate that dasatinib is a safe, effective treatment of pediatric CML-CP. Target responses to first- or second-line dasatinib were met early, and deep molecular responses were observed. Safety of dasatinib in pediatric patients was similar to that observed in adults; however, no cases of pleural or pericardial effusion or pulmonary arterial hypertension were reported.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib was rationally designed to target BCR-ABL1 which is constitutively activated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Following the tremendous success in adults, imatinib also became licensed for treatment of CML in minors. The rarity of pediatric CML hampers the conduction of formal trials. Thus, imatinib is still the single TKI approved for CML treatment in childhood. Areas covered: This review attempts to provide an overview of the literature on pharmacology, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic of imatinib concerning pediatric CML treatment. Articles were identified through a PubMed search and by reviewing abstracts from relevant hematology congresses. Additional information was provided from the authors' libraries and expertise and from our own measurements of imatinib trough plasma levels in children. Pharmacokinetic variables (e.g. alpha 1-acid glycoprotein binding, drug-drug/food-drug interactions via cytochrome P450 3A4/5, cellular uptake mediated via OCT-1-influx variations and P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux) still await to be addressed in pediatric patients systematically. Expert commentary: TKI response rates vary among different individuals and pharmacokinetic variables all can influence CML treatment success. Adherence to imatinib intake may be the most prominent factor influencing treatment outcome in teenagers thus pointing towards the potential benefits of regular drug monitoring.

Abstract
Chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive (CML) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm in children and presents even less often as a secondary malignancy in the pediatric population. Below, we report a patient with Philadelphia-negative B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, who developed CML several years after achieving complete remission, and summarize the existing literature on the clinical and pathologic features of CML as a secondary pediatric malignancy.

Survival trends in childhood chronic myeloid leukaemia in Southern-Eastern Europe and the United States of America. Eur J Cancer 2016; 67:183-190. [PMID: 27677054 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2016.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2016] [Revised: 08/02/2016] [Accepted: 08/16/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To assess trends in survival and geographic disparities among children (0-14 years) with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) before and after the introduction of molecular therapy, namely tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in Southern-Eastern European (SEE) countries and the USA. METHODS We calculated survival among children with CML, acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in 14 SEE (1990-2014) cancer registries and the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER, 1990-2012). We used Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Among 369 CML cases, substantial improvements were noted in 2-year survival during the post-TKI (range: 81-89%) compared to pre-TKI period (49-66%; HR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.23-0.60). Risk of death was three times higher for <5-year-old children versus those aged 10-14 years (HR: 3.03, 95% CI: 1.85-4.94) and 56% higher for those living in SEE versus SEER (HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01-2.42). Regardless of geographic area and period of TKI administration, however, age seems to be a significant determinant of CML prognosis (pre-TKI period, HR0-4y: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.53-4.79; post-TKI period, HR0-4y: 3.38, 95% CI: 1.29-8.85). Noticeably, post-TKI survival in CML overall approximates that for ALL, whereas therapeutic advancements for AML remain modest. CONCLUSION Registry data show that introduction of molecular therapies coincides with revolutionised therapeutic outcomes in childhood CML entailing dramatically improved survival which is now similar to that in ALL. Given that age disparities in survival remain substantial, offering optimal therapy to entire populations is an urgent priority.

Abstract
Side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment vary in children and adults with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). As children have a much longer life expectancy than adults, TKI therapy may continue for decades and with long-term consequences that differ from adults. Children may develop endocrinopathies related to "off-target" effects of TKIs, such as delayed growth, changes in bone metabolism, thyroid abnormalities, and effects on puberty and fertility. These endocrinopathies present additional challenges for pediatric patients with CML. This review critically evaluates the literature on long-term endocrine side effects of TKIs in the pediatric CML population and provides suggested recommendations.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in children and young adults is uncommon. Young patients have long life expectancies and low morbidity with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Prolonged tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) use may cause significant morbidity. In addition, indication for HCT in patients in the first chronic phase is not established. We hence retrospectively evaluated outcomes in 449 CML patients with early disease receiving myeloablative HCT reported to the CIBMTR. We analyzed various factors affecting outcome, specifically the effect of age and pre-HCT TKI in pediatric patients (age < 18 years, n = 177) and young adults (age 18 to 29 years, n = 272) with the goal of identifying prognostic factors. Post-HCT probability rates of 5-year overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) were 75% and 59%, respectively. Rates of OS and LFS were 76% and 57% in <18-year and 74% and 60% in 18- to 29-year group, respectively, by univariate analysis (P = .1 and = .6). Five-year rates of OS for HLA matched sibling donor (MSD) and bone marrow (BM) stem cell source were 83% and 80%, respectively. In multivariate analysis there was no effect of age (<18 versus 18 to 29) or pre-HCT TKI therapy on OS, LFS, transplant related mortality, or relapse. Favorable factors for OS were MSD (P < .001) and recent HCT (2003 to 2010; P = .04). LFS was superior with MSD (P < .001), BM as graft source (P = .001), and performance scores > 90 (P = .03) compared with unrelated or mismatched peripheral blood stem cells donors and recipients with lower performance scores. Older age was associated with increased incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (P = .0002). In the current era, HCT outcomes are similar in young patients and children with early CML, and best outcomes are achieved with BM grafts and MSD.

Abstract
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in children is relatively rare. Because of a lack of robust clinical study evidence, management of CML in children is not standardized and often follows guidelines developed for adults. Children and young adults tend to have a more aggressive clinical presentation than older adults, and prognostic scores for adult CML do not apply to children. CML in children has been considered to have the same biology as in adults, but recent data indicate that some genetic differences exist in pediatric and adult CML. Because children with CML may receive tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for many decades, and are exposed to TKIs during a period of active growth, morbidities in children with CML may be distinct from those in adults and require careful monitoring. Aggressive strategies, such as eradication of CML stem cells with limited duration and intensive regimens of chemotherapy and TKIs, may be more advantageous in children as a way to avoid lifelong exposure to TKIs and their associated adverse effects. Blood and marrow transplantation in pediatric CML is currently indicated only for recurrent progressive disease, and the acute and long-term toxicities of this option should be carefully evaluated against the complications associated with lifelong use of TKIs.

PLoS One 2015; 10:e0131192.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor imatinib provides a highly effective therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) via inhibition of the oncogenic TK BCR-ABL1. However, off-target TKs like platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGF-R) and colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (c-fms), involved in bone remodeling, are also inhibited. Thus, pediatric patients with CML on imatinib exhibit altered bone metabolism, leading to linear growth failure. As TKI treatment might be necessary for a lifetime, long-term effects exerted on bone in children are of major concern. Therefore, we studied the skeletal long-term effects of continuous and intermittent imatinib exposure in a juvenile rat model. Four-weeks-old male Wistar rats were chronically exposed to imatinib via drinking water over a period of 10 weeks. Animals were exposed to a standard and high imatinib dosage continuously and to the high imatinib dose intermittently. Bone mass and strength were assessed using pQCT, micro-computed tomography (μCT), and biomechanical testing at the prepubertal, pubertal, and postpubertal age. Bone length and vertebral height as well as biochemical markers of bone turnover were analyzed. Femoral and tibial bone length were dose-dependently reduced by up to 24% (p<0.0001), femoral and tibial trabecular bone mass density (BMD) were reduced by up to 25% (p<0.01), and femoral breaking strength was lowered by up to 20% (p<0.05). Intermittent exposure mitigated these skeletal effects. Long-term exposure resulted in reduced vertebral height by 15% and lower trabecular BMD by 5%. Skeletal changes were associated with suppressed serum osteocalcin (p<0.01) and non-significantly elevated serum CTX-I and PINP levels. In conclusion, imatinib mainly impaired longitudinal growth of long bones rather than the vertebrae of growing rats. Interestingly, intermittent imatinib exposure has less skeletal side effects, which may be beneficial in pediatric patients taking imatinib.
