Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the survival of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), however, older patients are often underrepresented in pivotal trials. Approximately 20% of older adults never start treatment and face significant barriers to accomplish favorable outcomes. The treatment goal is to improve survival, prevent progression, and preserve quality of life. This is achieved through optimizing TKI doses and employing discontinuation strategies to attain treatment-free remission (TFR), a goal increasingly pursued by older patients. Imatinib may be favored as the front-line option for older individuals due to its side effect profile and cost. Bosutinib's favorable cardiovascular tolerability makes it a suitable second-line agent, but lower-dose dasatinib may likewise be an attractive option. The prevalence of comorbidities can preclude the use of second generation TKIs in some older patients. Optimal care for older patients with CML centers on personalized treatment, close monitoring, and proactive support.

Abstract
Nilotinib is a highly effective treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia but has been consistently associated with the development of nilotinib-induced arterial disease (NAD) in a subset of patients. To date, which cell types mediate this effect and whether NAD results from on-target mechanisms is unknown. We utilized human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to generate endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells for in vitro study of NAD. We found that nilotinib adversely affects endothelial proliferation and migration, in addition to increasing intracellular nitric oxide. Nilotinib did not alter endothelial barrier function or lipid uptake. No effect of nilotinib was observed in vascular smooth muscle cells, suggesting that NAD is primarily mediated through endothelial cells. To evaluate whether NAD results from enhanced inhibition of ABL1, we generated multiple ABL1 knockout lines. The effects of nilotinib remained unchanged in the absence of ABL1, suggesting that NAD results from off- rather than on-target signaling. The model established in the present study can be applied to future mechanistic and patient-specific pharmacogenomic studies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Each of these drugs has a specific profile of tyrosine kinases that they inhibit and, although all are clinically effective, they each have unique toxicity profiles. With the introduction of ponatinib, arterio-occlusive events were first noted and later found to occur with all TKIs to various extents. The recognition of this "class effect" was delayed considering ponatinib was introduced 10 years after the introduction of imatinib. The reasons for the delay in identification of this class effect are likely multifaceted. Importantly, there is an inconsistency in adverse event reporting criteria among the major clinical trials of the various TKIs, likely resulting in mixed reporting of arterio-occlusive events. Reporting events based on a frequency threshold, lack of sufficient follow-up, attempts at causality attribution, and the primary focus on molecular response may all have played an additional role. Considering the increasing rate of arterio-occlusive events over time, the termination of many trials after only 5 years prevents full assessment of the impact of these events. A comprehensive evaluation of TKI adverse effects using uniform Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities terms and comprehensive adjudication of these events may be helpful in better assessing the real risk for patients with each TKI. Future clinical trials should use a uniform and comprehensive approach to reporting adverse events without attempting to assign causality to the study drug.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the most updated treatment recommendations for pediatric CML, and to discuss current areas of investigation. RECENT FINDINGS There is new phase 1 data to support the safety of the non-ATP competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) asciminib in the pediatric cohort. Ongoing studies are investigating the role of treatment-free remission in children. Chronic phase CML in children is managed with lifelong TKI therapy; however, evidence of deeper remissions sustained with second-generation TKIs may permit shorter treatment courses. Use of more specific TKIs may mitigate some of the side effects specific to the pediatric cohort. Children with advanced phase CML should achieve a complete hematologic remission with use of a second-generation TKI prior to transplant to achieve the best outcome.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The introduction of TKIs into the therapeutic armamentarium of CML has changed the disease paradigm, increasing long-term survival from 20% to over 80%, with a life expectancy now approaching that of the general population. Although highly effective, TKIs also have a toxicity profile that is often mild to moderate, but sometimes severe, with multiple kinases involved in the development of adverse events (AEs). Among others, cardiovascular AEs observed in TKI-treated CML patients may represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and their pathogenesis is still only partially understood. In view of the recent introduction into daily clinical practice of new TKIs, namely the STAMP inhibitor asciminib, with a distinct safety profile, hematologists now more than ever have the opportunity to select the most suitable TKI for each patient, an aspect that will be fundamental in terms of personalized preventive and therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, physicians should be aware of the feasibility of TKI dose modifications at all stages of the patients' treatment journey, both at diagnosis for frail or elderly subjects or with multiple comorbidities, and during follow-up for those patients who experience toxicity, as well as to prevent it, with the main objective of reducing side effects while maintaining the response. Consequently, preserving the cardiovascular health of CML patients will likely be a more urgent topic in the near future, with specific measures aimed at controlling cardiovascular risk factors through a multidisciplinary approach involving a panel of healthcare professionals together with the hematologist.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the management of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML); however, they may cause cardiovascular (CV) toxicities. In this cross-sectional study, we explored whether high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and novel markers of vascular dysfunction were associated with exposure to specific TKIs, in 262 CML patients. Hs-CRP level was not associated with CML disease activity or treatment with a specific TKI. Body mass index (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.108-1.246; p < 0.001) and CML duration (OR: 1.004, 95% CI: 1.001-1.008; p = 0.024) were independently associated with higher hs-CRP. In exploratory analyses, novel endothelial-centric markers (e.g. ET-1 and VCAM-1) were differential across the various TKIs, particularly amongst nilotinib- and ponatinib-treated patients. While Levels of hs-CRP do not appear to be correlated with specific TKIs, circulating markers of vascular dysfunction were altered in patients treated with specific TKIs and should be explored as potential markers of TKI-associated CV risk.

Abstract
Cardio-oncology is an emerging field that seeks to enhance quality of life and longevity of cancer survivors. It is pertinent for clinicians to understand the cellular mechanisms of prescribed therapies, as this contributes to robust understanding of complex treatments and off-target effects, improved communication with patients, and guides long term care with the goal to minimise or prevent cardiovascular complications. Our aim is to review the cellular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity involved in commonly used anti-cancer treatments and identify gaps in literature and strategies to mitigate cardiotoxicity effects and guide future research endeavours.

Abstract
We surveyed the performance of ponatinib, as salvage therapy, in a real-world setting of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP). Among 55 consecutive patients (median age 49 years) with relapsed/refractory CML-CP, 35 (64%) had failed ≥3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), 35 (64%) were pre-treated with nilotinib, and 14 (28%) harbored ABL1T315I. At start of ponatinib (median dose 30 mg/day), 40 patients were already in complete hematologic (CHR), 4 in complete cytogenetic (CCyR), 3 in major molecular (MMR) remission, while 8 had not achieved CHR (NR). Ponatinib improved the depth of response in 13 (33%), 3 (75%), 2 (66%), and 4 (50%) patients with CHR, CCyR, MMR, and NR, respectively (p = 0.02). At a median follow-up of 42 months, 13 (23%) deaths, 5 (9%) blast transformations, and 25 (45%) allogeneic transplants were recorded. Five/10-year post-ponatinib survival was 77%/58% with no significant difference when patients were stratified by allogeneic transplant (p = 0.94), ponatinib-induced deeper response (p = 0.28), or a post-ponatinib ≥CCyR vs CHR remission state (p = 0.25). ABL1T315I was detrimental to survival (p = 0.04) but did not appear to affect response. Prior exposure to nilotinib was associated with higher risk of arterial occlusive events (AOEs; 11% vs 0%; age-adjusted p = 0.04). Ponatinib starting/maintenance dose (45 vs 15 mg/day) did not influence either treatment response or AOEs. Our observations support the use of a lower starting/maintenance dose for ponatinib in relapsed/refractory CML-CP but a survival advantage for deeper responses was not apparent and treatment might not overcome the detrimental impact of ABL1T315I on survival. The association between prior exposure to nilotinib and a higher risk of post-ponatinib AOEs requires further validation.

Abstract
Since their invention in the early 2000s, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have gained prominence as the most effective pathway-directed anti-cancer agents. TKIs have shown significant utility in the treatment of multiple hematological malignancies and solid tumors, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, non-small cell lung cancers, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and HER2-positive breast cancers. Given their widespread applications, an increasing frequency of TKI-induced adverse effects has been reported. Although TKIs are known to affect multiple organs in the body including the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, thyroid, blood, and skin, cardiac involvement accounts for some of the most serious complications. The most frequently reported cardiovascular side effects range from hypertension, atrial fibrillation, reduced cardiac function, and heart failure to sudden death. The potential mechanisms of these side effects are unclear, leading to critical knowledge gaps in the development of effective therapy and treatment guidelines. There are limited data to infer the best clinical approaches for the early detection and therapeutic modulation of TKI-induced side effects, and universal consensus regarding various management guidelines is yet to be reached. In this state-of-the-art review, we examine multiple pre-clinical and clinical studies and curate evidence on the pathophysiology, mechanisms, and clinical management of these adverse reactions. We expect that this review will provide researchers and allied healthcare providers with the most up-to-date information on the pathophysiology, natural history, risk stratification, and management of emerging TKI-induced side effects in cancer patients.

Abstract
For chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with a known risk of cardiovascular events (CVE), imatinib is often recommended for first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment rather than a second-generation TKI (2G-TKI) such as nilotinib or dasatinib. To date, very few studies have evaluated the genetic predisposition associated with CVE development on TKI treatment. In this retrospective study of 102 CML patients, 26 CVEs were reported during an average follow-up of over 10 years. Next-generation sequencing identified pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutations in genes associated with myeloid malignancies in 24.5% of the diagnostic samples analyzed. Patients with a recorded CVE had more myeloid mutations (0.48 vs. 0.14, p = 0.019) and were older (65.1 vs. 55.7 years, p = 0.016). Age ≥ 60 years and receiving a 2G-TKI in first-line were CVE risk factors. The presence of a pathogenic somatic myeloid mutation was an independent risk factor for CVE on any TKI (HR 2.79, p = 0.01), and significantly shortened the CV event-free survival of patients who received first-line imatinib (by 70 months, p = 0.011). Indeed, 62% of patients on imatinib with mutations had a CVE vs. the 19% on imatinib with a mutation and no CVE. In conclusion, myeloid mutations detectable at diagnosis increase CVE risk, particularly for patients on imatinib, and might be considered for first-line TKI choice.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality without approved treatment. The therapeutic effects of Imatinib as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor on reversing liver fibrosis have already been shown. However, considering the conventional route of Imatinib administration, the amount of drug to be used is very high, and its side effects are raised. Therefore, we designed an efficient pH-sensitive polymer for the targeted delivery of Imatinib in treating a carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis. This nanotherapeutic system-based Vitamin A (VA)-modified Imatinib-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/Eudragit S100 (PLGA-ES100) has been successfully fabricated by adapting the solvent evaporation technique. The applying ES100 on the surface of our desired nanoparticles (NPs) protects drug release at the acidic pH of the gastric and guarantees the effective release of Imatinib at a higher pH of the intestine. Besides, VA-functionalized NPs could be an ideal efficient drug delivery system due to the high capacity of hepatic cell lines to absorb VA. For induction of liver fibrosis, CCL4 was intraperitoneally (IP) injected twice a week for six weeks in BALB/c mice. Oral administration of VA-targeted PLGA-ES100 NPs loaded with Rhodamine Red™ by live animal imaging showed a preferential accumulation of the selected NPs in the liver of mice. Besides, administrating targeted Imatinib-loaded NPs significantly decreased serum levels of ALT, and AST, and also reduced the expression of extracellular matrix components, including collagen I, collagen III, and α-SMA, considerably. Interestingly, histopathological evaluation of liver tissues through H&E and Masson's trichrome staining showed that oral administration of targeted Imatinib-loaded NPs reduced hepatic damage by enhancing hepatic structure condition. Also, the Sirius-red staining indicated a reduction in collagen expression during treatment with targeted NP containing Imatinib. The immunohistochemistry result on liver tissue shows a significant decrease in the expression of α-SMA in groups treated with targeted NP. In the meantime, administration of a very scarce dose of Imatinib via targeted NP caused a substantial decline in the expression of fibrosis marker genes (Collagen I, Collagen III, α-SMA). Our results confirmed that novel pH-sensitive VA-targeted PLGA-ES100 NPs could efficiently deliver Imatinib to the liver cells. Loading Imatinib in the PLGA-ES100/VA might overcome many challenges facing conventional Imatinib therapy, including gastrointestinal pH, the low concentration at the target region, and toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide a detailed overview of cardiovascular adverse events associated with the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors across different tumor types. RECENT FINDINGS Despite an undeniable survival advantage of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with hematologic or solid malignancies, the accompanying off-target cardiovascular adverse events can be life-threatening. In patients with B cell malignancies, the use of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors has been associated with atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as hypertension. Cardiovascular toxic profiles are heterogeneous among the several approved breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-ABL TKIS. Notably, imatinib might be cardioprotective. Vascular endothelial growth factor TKIs, constituting the central axis in the treatment of several solid tumors, including renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, have strongly been associated with hypertension and arterial ischemic events. Epidermal growth factor TKIs as therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been reported to be infrequently associated with heart failure and QT prolongation. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been demonstrated to increase overall survival across different types of cancers, special consideration should be given to cardiovascular toxicities. High-risk patients can be identified by undergoing a comprehensive workup at baseline.

Abstract
Background Breakpoint cluster region-Abelson gene (BCR-ABL) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, concern has arisen about the cardiac safety profile of these drugs. Objectives This study aims to compare long-term risks of adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (ACE), heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%, and venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in patients with CML treated with BCR-ABL TKIs, using data from a large multinational network. Methods Patients aged ≥ 18 years with CML treated with imatinib, dasatinib, or nilotinib without prior cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease were included. We used propensity score matching to balance the cohorts. The 5-year cumulative incidences and hazard ratios were calculated. Results We identified 3,722 patients with CML under treatment with imatinib (n = 1,906), dasatinib (n = 1,269), and nilotinib (n = 547). Patients with imatinib compared to dasatinib showed a higher hazard ratio (HR) for ACE (HR 2,13, 95% CI 1.15-3.94, p = 0.016). Patients with imatinib presented a lower HR than nilotinib for ACE (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.30-0.83, p = 0.0074). In relation to heart failure or LVEF < 50%, patients with imatinib had a higher HR than dasatinib (HR 9.41, 95% CI 1.22-72.17, p = 0.03), but no significant difference was observed between imatinib and nilotinib (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.215-1.01, p = 0.064). Conclusion In this retrospective study with a large number of patients with CML, those treated with nilotinib had a higher 5-year ratio of ACE, while patients with dasatinib showed a lower ratio than patients with imatinib. The ratio of heart failure was higher in patients with imatinib than in patients with dasatinib, but not when compared to nilotinib.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase can now have a life expectancy comparable to that of the general population thanks to the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies. Although most patients with CML require lifelong TKI therapy, it is possible for some patients to achieve treatment-free remission. These spectacular results have been made possible by the development of superior treatment modalities as well as clinicians' efforts in strictly adhering to clinical guidelines such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and European Leukemia Network (ELN). CML treatment recommendations reported in these guidelines are the result of years of selecting and incorporating the most reliable evidence. In this review, we provide a synopsis of the differences and similarities that exist between the NCCN and ELN guidelines.

Cardiovascular adverse events in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with nilotinib or imatinib: A systematic review, meta-analysis and integrative bioinformatics analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:966182. [PMID: 36426222 PMCID: PMC9678945 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.966182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to assess the risk and potential mechanisms of cardiovascular adverse events in patients treated with nilotinib or imatinib by conducting a systematic review, meta-analysis and integrative bioinformatics analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three databases were systematically searched for studies published from inception to May 29, 2022. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed to search for modules of genes most associated with cardiotoxicity. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was then performed to identify hub genes for the cardiotoxicity of nilotinib. Molecular docking was used to analyze the effects of rosuvastatin and aspirin on these targets. RESULTS Patients treated with nilotinib as first-line treatment were associated with a higher risk of CAE (OR = 3.43 [95% CI 2.77-4.25]), CAD (OR = 5.30 [95% CI 3.85-7.29]), ACS (OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.60-4.54]), CVA (OR 5.76 [95% CI 2.84-11.28]), PAOD (OR 5.57 [95% CI 3.26-9.50]) and arrhythmia (OR 2.34 [1.17,4.67]) than those treated with imatinib, while no significant difference was found in the risk of HF (OR 1.40 [95% CI 0.42-4.69]) between the two groups. Patients who were treated with more than 600 mg daily dosage of nilotinib or followed up for more than 5 years had a higher risk of ACS and CVA. IL6, CXCL8, CCL2, SOD2, NFKBIA, and BIRC3 were identified as the top 6 hub genes in the magenta module (human cardiomyocyte samples) and were mainly enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis signaling pathway. TYROBP and CSF1R were identified as hub genes in the turquoise module (liver samples from Mus musculus). GSEA results showed that type II diabetes mellitus, B-cell receptor, apoptosis, insulin, natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity,mTOR, chemokine, and T-cell receptor signaling pathways were related to the higher risk of atherosclerosis caused by nilotinib. Rosuvastatin can effectively bind to most of the hub targets and proteins enriched in the inflammatory pathways above. CONCLUSION CML patients who start with nilotinib have a higher risk of CAE than those with imatinib. Atherosclerosis caused by the inflammatory response and glycolipid metabolism disorder is the key mechanism of nilotinib cardiotoxicity. Rosuvastatin may be an effective treatment for the cardiotoxicity of nilotinib.

Abstract
Background Second- and third-generation BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are associated with cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia. Objectives We hypothesized that second- and third-generation BCR-ABL1 TKIs may cause CVAEs through the activation of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing kinase (ROCK). Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 53 Ph+ patients on TKIs and 15 control patients without Ph+ leukemia were assessed for ROCK activity through capillary electrophoresis (median follow-up = 26 months [Q1-Q3: 5-37 months]). We also investigated the effects of TKIs and ROCK on endothelial dysfunction in vitro, which could contribute to CVAEs. Results Patients receiving second- and third-generation TKIs had 1.6-fold greater ROCK activity compared with patients receiving imatinib and control patients. Elevated ROCK activity was associated with an increased incidence of CVAEs in Ph+ leukemia patients. In endothelial cells in vitro, we found that dasatinib and ponatinib treatment led to changes in actin intensity and endothelial permeability, which can be reversed by pharmacologic inhibition of ROCK. Ponatinib led to decreased cell proliferation, but this was not accompanied by senescence. Dasatinib and ponatinib treatment led to phosphor-inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and decreased nitric oxide production. ROCK inhibition reversed endothelial permeability and endothelial nitric oxide synthase-related endothelial dysfunction. Imatinib and nilotinib induce phosphorylation of p190RhoGAP. Conclusions Our findings suggest ROCK activity may be a prognostic indicator of CVAEs in patients receiving BCR-ABL1 TKIs. With further study, ROCK inhibition may be a promising approach to reduce the incidence of CVAEs associated with second- and third-generation BCR-ABL1 TKIs.

Abstract
Cancer therapeutics related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) has emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. Effective clinical management of CTRCD is impeded by a lack of sensitive diagnostic and prognostic strategies. Circulating molecular markers could potentially address this need as they are often indicative of cardiac stress before cardiac damage can be detected clinically. A growing understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms for CTRCD has inspired research efforts to identify novel pathophysiologically-relevant biomarkers that may also guide development of cardio-protective therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this review is to evaluate current circulating biomarkers of cardiac stress and their potential role in diagnosis and management of CTRCD. We also discuss some emerging avenues for CTRCD-focused biomarker investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advent of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) has led to new paradigms including occupational rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterize the impact of CML treatment on sick leaves within the 2 years following diagnosis in working-age patients. METHODS A cohort of all 18-60-year-old newly diagnosed CML patients initiating a TKI between January 1st 2011 and December 31st 2014 in France was identified in the French National Healthcare database (Système National des Données de Santé [SNDS]). Patients with a sick leave identified in the 24 months after TKI initiation were compared with sex and initiation date matched controls in a nested case-control design. Factors associated with sick leaves were identified through a conditional logistic regression model, providing adjusted odds-ratio (OR) with their 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Among 646 18-60-year-old patients, 268 were prescribed at least one sick leave in the study period, with 176 (27.2%) having their first sick leave prescribed after TKI initiation. The median number of sick days over the 2-years period was 115 per patient (interquartile range 25.5-384.5). In the nested case-control study (176 cases and 176 matched controls), sick leaves were more likely observed with second generation TKI (OR 4.11 [1.80-9.38]), whereas they were less likely observed in case if social deprivation (OR 0.07 [0.02-0.28]. CONCLUSION More than 25% of working-age CML patients had at least one sick leave within 2 years of TKI initiation, with a higher impact of second generation TKI, and with a median duration of 115 days.

Abstract
Nilotinib has been approved for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP). However, the real-world evidence of nilotinib in newly diagnosed untreated Ph+ CML-CP is limited in Taiwan. The NOVEL-1st study was a non-interventional, multi-center study collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data in patients with newly diagnosed and untreated Ph+ CML-CP receiving nilotinib. We enrolled 129 patients from 11 hospitals. Overall, 1,466 adverse events (AEs) were reported; among these, 151 were serious and 524 were nilotinib-related. Common hematological AEs were thrombocytopenia (31.0%), anemia (20.9%), and leukopenia (14.0%); common nilotinib-related AEs were thrombocytopenia (29.5%), anemia (14.7%), and leukopenia (12.4%). Early molecular response, defined as BCR-ABL ≤ 10% at Month 3, was seen in 87.6% of patients. By 36 months, the cumulative rates of complete hematologic response, complete cytogenetic response, major molecular response, molecular response 4.0-log reduction, and molecular response 4.5-log reduction were 98.5, 92.5, 85.8, 65.0, and 45.0%, respectively. Nilotinib is effective and well-tolerated in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP in the real-world setting. Long-term holistic care and a highly tolerable AE profile may contribute to good treatment outcomes in Ph+ CML-CP under first-line treatment with nilotinib.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) may offer a normal life expectancy to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients. However, a higher than expected incidence of arterial occlusive events (AOEs) was observed during treatment with nilotinib. We previously showed an “inflammatory status” during nilotinib that may explain the increased incidence of AOEs. Thus, we conducted this prospective KIARO study involving 186 CML patients (89 imatinib, 59 nilotinib, 38 dasatinib). Interleukin 6 (IL6), interleukin 10 (IL10), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFα), oxLDL, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) plasma levels were measured at diagnosis and during treatment, with the aim to investigate changes in the inflammatory status favoring AOEs of each patient. Clinical and biochemical pro-atherothrombotic profiles and the 10-year SCORE chart were also evaluated. We showed a pro-inflammatory/pro-oxidative milieu increasing along treatment with nilotinib compared with imatinib or dasatinib, as demonstrated by higher hs-CRP and oxLDL levels and increased IL6/IL10 and TNFα/IL10 ratios only in nilotinib cohort. After median follow-up of 23.3 months starting from TKI, 10/186 patients (5.4%) suffered an AOE. Approximately 5/10 (50%) AOEs occurred during nilotinib treatment despite a lower 10-year SCORE and a lower median age in this subgroup. A longer follow-up is needed to further confirm the active role of nilotinib in AOEs pathogenesis.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Endothelial cells play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis of vascular function, and endothelial activation is involved in the initial step of atherogenesis. Previously, we reported that Abl kinase mediates shear stress–induced endothelial activation. Bosutinib, a dual inhibitor of Src and Abl kinases, exerts an atheroprotective effect; however, recent studies have demonstrated an increase in the incidence of side effects associated with bosutinib, including increased arterial blood pressure (BP). To understand the effects of bosutinib on BP regulation and the mechanistic basis for novel treatment strategies against vascular dysfunction, we generated a line of mice conditionally lacking c-Abl in endothelial cells (endothelial cell-AblKO). Knockout mice and their wild-type littermates (Ablf/f) were orally administered a clinical dose of bosutinib, and their BP was monitored. Bosutinib treatment increased BP in both endothelial cell-AblKO and Ablf/f mice. Furthermore, acetylcholine-evoked endothelium-dependent relaxation of the mesenteric arteries was impaired by bosutinib treatment. RNA sequencing of mesenteric arteries revealed that the CYP (cytochrome P450)-dependent metabolic pathway was involved in regulating BP after bosutinib treatment. Additionally, bosutinib treatment led to an upregulation of soluble epoxide hydrolase in the arteries and a lower plasma content of eicosanoid metabolites in the CYP pathway in mice. Treatment with 1-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl) urea, a soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor, reversed the bosutinib-induced changes to the eicosanoid metabolite profile, endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, and BP. Thus, the present study demonstrates that upregulation of soluble epoxide hydrolase mediates bosutinib-induced elevation of BP, independent of c-Abl. The addition of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor in patients treated with bosutinib may aid in preventing vascular side effects.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Vascular Adverse Events in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Population-Based, Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study. Oncologist 2021; 26:974-982.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown long-term survival benefits in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nevertheless, significant concern has been raised regarding long-term TKI-associated vascular adverse events (VAEs). The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the incidence of VAEs in Taiwanese patients with CML treated with different TKIs (imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib) as well as potential risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Taiwan Cancer Registry Database and National Health Insurance Research Database. Adult patients diagnosed with CML from 2008 to 2016 were identified and categorized into three groups according to their first-line TKI treatment (imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib). Propensity score matching was performed to control for potential confounders. Cox regressions were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of VAEs in different TKI groups. RESULTS In total, 1,111 patients with CML were included in our study. We found that the risk of VAEs in nilotinib users was significantly higher than that in imatinib users, with an HR of 3.13 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.30-7.51), whereas dasatinib users also showed a nonsignificant trend for developing VAEs, with an HR of 1.71 (95% CI, 0.71-4.26). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, only nilotinib usage, older age, and history of cerebrovascular diseases were identified as significant risk factors. The annual incidence rate of VAEs was highest within the first year after the initiation of TKIs. CONCLUSION These findings can support clinicians in making treatment decisions and monitoring VAEs in patients with CML in Taiwan. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study found that patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with nilotinib and dasatinib may be exposed to a higher risk of developing vascular adverse events (VAEs) compared with those treated with imatinib. Thus, this study suggests that patients with CML who are older or have a history of cerebrovascular diseases should be under close monitoring of VAEs, particularly within the first year after the initiation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm driven by a fusion gene, encoding for the chimeric protein BCR-ABL, with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has drastically improved survival, but there are significant concerns about cardiovascular toxicity. Cardiovascular risk can be lowered with appropriate baseline evaluation, accurate choice of TKI therapy, improvement of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors through lifestyle modifications, and prescription of drugs for primary or secondary prevention. Which examinations are necessary, and when do they have to be scheduled? How often should a TKI-treated patient undergo which cardiology test or exam? Is there an accurate way to estimate the risk that each TKI may determine a cardiovascular adverse event in a CML patient? In a few words, how can we optimize the cardiovascular risk management in CML patients before and during TKI treatment? The aim of this review is to describe cardiac and vascular toxicity of TKIs used for CML treatment according to the most recent literature and to identify unmet clinical needs in cardiovascular risk management and complications in these patients. Regarding the TKI-induced cardiovascular toxicity, the full mechanism is still unclear, but it is accepted that different factors may play different roles: endothelial damage and atherosclerosis, metabolic impairment, hypertensive effect, glomerular impairment, and mast-cell disruption. Preventive strategies are aimed at minimizing cardiovascular risk when CML is diagnosed. Cardio-oncology units in specialized hematology centers may afford a personalized and multidisciplinary approach to the patient, optimizing the balance between treatment of the neoplasm and management of cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib have drastically improved the life expectancies of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). While survival outcomes are comparable across first-line TKIs, each TKI has a unique toxicity profile that should be considered before starting or managing any treatment. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of TKIs are particularly important in CML-CP, as the majority of patients remain on treatment for several years or for life. Management of adverse events (AEs) is critical to ensure adherence to treatment and to maintain efficacy and quality of life; management should also be considered in the context of the patient's molecular response to therapy to avoid switching TKIs unnecessarily. We present case studies examining pleural effusion occurring with bosutinib and dasatinib, cardiovascular events associated with nilotinib and ponatinib, and myelosuppression, which is common across all TKIs. We discuss the management of these AEs based on international guidelines and present our collective experience for advanced practitioners to consider.

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
INTRODUCTION Patients exposed to nilotinib for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) appear to be at risk of arterial complication. The prevalence and aspect of ultrasound asymptomatic arterial lesions are unknown. OBJECTIVE To describe prevalence and characteristics of ultrasound arterial anomalies in patients treated with nilotinib for CML. METHODS Patients treated with nilotinib from 2006 to 2015 in the department of the Paoli-Calmettes Institute, Marseille, were included retrospectively. A vascular ultrasound screening was carried out from 2010. The arterial lesions at the first examination were described: plaque and its echogenicity, stenosis or occlusion. A vascular arterial anomaly (VAA) was defined by the presence of a clinical and/or ultrasound anomaly. Patients with or without VAA at initial vascular examination were compared using bivariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS 74 patients were included (51.4% men, mean age 54.5 years); 25 patients had ultrasound arterial anomalies (33.8%). Carotid bulb was the most involved territory (44%). Arterial anomalies were: 88% plaques, 44%>50% stenosis and 12% occlusion. 72.7% plaques were echolucent or hypoechogenic. A VAA was present in 25 patients with initial vascular evaluation (33.8%). Patients with VAA at baseline were significantly older (64.9 vs 49.3, P<0.001), older at nilotinib initiation (60.8 vs 46.5, P<0.001), with more arterial hypertension (40% vs 12.2%, P=0.01), with more cardiovascular risk factors (P=0.03). In patient with no cardiovascular risk factor 12.5% had VAA (n=24). CONCLUSION Nilotinib seems to be associated to arterial lesions of unstable lipid-like appearance. The most involved arterial territory was the carotid bulb and the most common lesion was echolucent or hypoechogenic plaque. VAA can occur in patients without cardiovascular risk factors. This result encourages us to systematically screen and follow all patients exposed to nilotinib even those without cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
This manuscript summarizes the results of the consensus meeting composed of hematologists and cardiologists to establish recommendations for the prevention and follow-up of cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) from the point of view of clinical practice and from the perspective of hematology consultation. In the first medical appointment, the CV risk factors should be identified to perform the baseline risk stratification, based on the Brazilian Guideline of Dyslipidemia and Atherosclerosis Prevention Update (risk levels: very high, high, intermediate and low). Once stratified, the treatment of the CV risk factors should be administered. If the patient presents risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, renal disease, smoking and hypercholesterolemia, the evaluation and initial treatment may be done by the hematologist, being an option the request for evaluation by a specialist. If the patient has a history of previous CV disease, we recommend referral to a specialist. As the CV risk score is dynamic and the control of risk factors can reduce the patient risk, this expert consensus recommends that the re-evaluation of the CV risk after the baseline should be performed at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. After this period, it should be done annually and, for specific patients, at the clinician's discretion. The evaluation of the baseline CV risk and the safe administration of a TKI allow the patient to benefit from the maximum treatment, avoiding unwanted effects.

Abstract
Systemic antineoplastic treatment agents represent one of the fastest developing medical fields. Oncological treatment is becoming increasingly individualized and new targets with corresponding agents, are constantly being developed. In tandem with this progress, new combinations and algorithms have evolved and patient's outcome have improved. Expanding tumors rely on a growing neovascular network to maintain their increased metabolism, which is caused by an accelerated reproduction rate. Accordingly, interrupting this supply mechanism is a major component of antineoplastic pharmaceutics and is a hallmark of cancer treatment. With advances in cancer treatment, long-term side effects have become an important consideration, especially in cases of neoplasia in young patients. While neuropathy and cardiotoxicity are well documented, vascular adverse events remain poorly understood. The mutual risk factors, like smoking and increased age, complicate the association between the vascular pathology and the earlier antineoplastic therapy. A deeper understanding of the effects of chemotherapy on peripheral arterial disease could lead to more detailed pathophysiological insight into both maladies and to new treatment options.

This position statement from the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology Cardio-Oncology Study Group in collaboration with the International Cardio-Oncology Society presents practical, easy-to-use and evidence-based risk stratification tools for oncologists, haemato-oncologists and cardiologists to use in their clinical practice to risk stratify oncology patients prior to receiving cancer therapies known to cause heart failure or other serious cardiovascular toxicities. Baseline risk stratification proformas are presented for oncology patients prior to receiving the following cancer therapies: anthracycline chemotherapy, HER2-targeted therapies such as trastuzumab, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, second and third generation multi-targeted kinase inhibitors for chronic myeloid leukaemia targeting BCR-ABL, multiple myeloma therapies (proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs), RAF and MEK inhibitors or androgen deprivation therapies. Applying these risk stratification proformas will allow clinicians to stratify cancer patients into low, medium, high and very high risk of cardiovascular complications prior to starting treatment, with the aim of improving personalised approaches to minimise the risk of cardiovascular toxicity from cancer therapies.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is defined by the presence of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) which results from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 [t(9;22] that gives rise to a BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. CML occurs in 3 different phases (chronic, accelerated, and blast phase) and is usually diagnosed in the chronic phase. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy is a highly effective first-line treatment option for all patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. This manuscript discusses the recommendations outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with chronic phase CML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib is one of the first-line therapies for chronic myeloid leukemia. Achieving a major molecular response early in treatment, as indicated by a BCR-ABL1 major international scale result of ≤0.1% within 6 months, is associated with better patient outcomes and is statistically associated with a trough imatinib concentration of approximately 1000 ng/mL. Adherence to therapy, drug resistance, drug-drug interactions, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic factors may hinder attaining this target. Therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib is not currently standard-of-care, but may help to evaluate adherence and optimize treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. This study aimed to evaluate imatinib concentrations in real-world patient plasma samples to identify the proportion of imatinib-treated patients who achieved the therapeutic target of 1000 ng/mL. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational study that measured imatinib in residual plasma samples used for BCR-ABL1 tests (n = 1022) and analyzed clinician-ordered imatinib tests for therapeutic drug monitoring (n = 116). Imatinib was measured by competitive immunoassay. The frequency of imatinib concentrations achieving the therapeutic target was determined and correlated with BCR-ABL1 major international scale, age, and sex. RESULTS Seventy-two percent of patients tested for BCR-ABL1 may not have been prescribed or were not adherent to imatinib therapy. In the 29% of patients who did not achieve major molecular response, but had quantifiable imatinib concentrations, the therapeutic concentration was not met. For clinician-ordered imatinib tests, 45% of samples did not exceed the therapeutic target and 4% had potentially toxic plasma concentrations (>3000 ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic drug monitoring for imatinib may assist clinicians in the identification of patients who may not be adherent to therapy, display variable pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics, or may be experiencing toxicity or treatment failure.

Abstract
Cancer therapies can lead to a broad spectrum of cardiovascular complications. Among these, cardiotoxicities remain of prime concern, but vascular toxicities have emerged as the second most common group. The range of cancer therapies with a vascular toxicity profile and the clinical spectrum of vascular toxic effects are quite broad. Historically, venous thromboembolism has received the greatest attention but, over the past decade, the arterial toxic effects, which can present as acute vasospasm, acute thrombosis and accelerated atherosclerosis, of cancer therapies have gained greater recognition. This Review focuses on these types of cancer therapy-related arterial toxicity, including their mechanisms, and provides an update on venous thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertension associated with cancer therapies. Recommendations for the screening, treatment and prevention of vascular toxic effects of cancer therapies are outlined in the context of available evidence and society guidelines and consensus statements. The shift towards greater awareness of the vascular toxic effects of cancer therapies has further unveiled the urgent needs in this area in terms of defining best clinical practices. Well-designed and well-conducted clinical studies and registries are needed to more precisely define the incidence rates, risk factors, primary and secondary modes of prevention, and best treatment modalities for vascular toxicities related to cancer therapies. These efforts should be complemented by preclinical studies to outline the pathophysiological concepts that can be translated into the clinic and to identify drugs with vascular toxicity potential even before their widespread clinical use.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and stroke can occur as vascular complication of anticancer treatment. Although the mechanisms, monitoring, and management of cardiotoxicities have received broad attention, vascular toxicities remain often underrecognized. In addition, the development of new chemotherapeutic drugs bears the risk of vasotoxicities that are yet to be identified and may not be realized with short-term follow-up periods. The propensity to develop PAD and/or stroke reflects the complex interplay between patient's baseline risk and preexisting vascular disease, particularly hypertension and diabetes, while evidence for genetic predisposition is increasing. Chemotherapeutic agents with a prominent vascular side effect profile have been identified. Interruption of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors (VEGFIs) signaling (i.e., bevacizumab) is associated with vascular toxicity and clinical sequelae such as hypertension, stroke, and thromboembolism beyond acute coronary syndromes. Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil are the main drugs involved in the stroke risk. In addition, circulating concentrations of VEGF are reduced by cyclophosphamide administered at continuous low doses, which might underpin some of the observed vascular toxicity, such as stroke, as seen in patients treated with VEGF inhibitors. The risk of stroke is also increased after treatment with anthracyclines that can induce endothelial dysfunction and increase arterial stiffness. Proteasome inhibitors ( bortezomib and carfilzomib) and immunomodulatory agents (thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide), approved for use in multiple myeloma, carry a black box warning for an increased risk of stroke. Finally, head-and-neck radiotherapy is associated with a doubled risk of cerebrovascular ischemic event, especially if exposure occurs in childhood. The mechanisms involved in radiation vasculopathy are represented by endothelial dysfunction, medial necrosis, fibrosis, and accelerated atherosclerosis. However, BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), is the main antineoplastic drugs involved in the development of PAD. In particular, second- and third-generation TKIs, such as nilotinib and ponatinib, while emerging as a potent arm in contrasting CML, are associated with a higher risk of PAD development rather than traditional imatinib. Factors favoring vascular complication are the presence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and predisposing genetic factors, high doses of BCR-ABL TKIs, longer time of drug exposure, and sequential use of potent TKIs. Therefore, accurate cardiovascular risk stratification is strongly recommended in patient candidate to anticancer treatment associated with higher risk of vascular complication, in order to reduce the incidence of PAD and stroke through CVRF correction and selection of appropriate tailored patient strategy of treatment. Then, a clinical follow-up, eventually associated with instrumental evaluation through vascular ultrasound, should be performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nilotinib has very few side effects, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, cardiotoxicity, high pancreatic lipase, ischemia, and vascular occlusion. We aimed to investigate whether short-term administration of nilotinib had ototoxic effects in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wistar-albino rats were categorized into three groups: group C (administered 0.25 mL of distilled water, no nilotinib), group N-20 (administered 20 mg/kg/day of nilotinib dissolved in distilled water), and group N-50 (administered 50 mg/kg/day of nilotinib dissolved in distilled water). A single dose was administered once per day, at the same hour, over 21 days. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds were recorded on day 0 and day 21. RESULTS There were no changes in ABR threshold values obtained on day 0 (baseline) and on day 21 across all three groups. A statistically significant difference was not found in terms of the mean latency of waves V and III, interpeak latency values of waves III-V, and amplitude ratios of waves III-V and V/Va at baseline and on day 21 across all three groups on within-group or between-group evaluation. CONCLUSION Consequently, further studies are needed that involve different drug doses, prolonged administration of drugs, as well as distortion otoacoustic emission test for the evaluation of cochlear activation and ABR. Furthermore, histopathological studies are needed to indicate whether the cochlea is affected to prove that nilotinib has definitively no ototoxic effect.

Abstract
Cardiovascular or arteriothrombotic adverse events (CV- or AT-AEs) are reported in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The incidence and characteristics across different TKI have not been systematically analyzed. We analyzed 531 patients treated with frontline TKIs in different prospective trials: imatinib 400 mg (n = 71) and 800 mg (n = 203), nilotinib (n = 108), dasatinib (n = 106), and ponatinib (n = 43). Characteristics and incidence of new-onset CV-AEs and AT-AEs were analyzed. Poisson regression models assessed factors associated with AE incidence. Median follow-up was 94 months (range, 2-195). Overall, 237 patients (45%) developed CV-AEs and 46 (9%) developed AT-AEs. Hypertension was the most common AE seen in 175 patients (33%; grade 3/4 in 17%). CV-AE and AT-AE incidence ratios (IRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were 8.6 (7.6-9.8) and 1.7 (1.2-2.2) per 100 person-years. Among the TKIs, ponatinib showed the highest IR (95% CI) for CV-AEs and AT-AEs at 40.7 (27.9-59.4) and 9.0 (4.1-20.1). In multivariate analysis, ponatinib therapy was associated with increased incidence rate ratio (IRR) for CV-AEs (4.62; 95% CI, 2.7-7.7; P < .0001) and AT-AEs (6.38; 95% CI, 1.8-21.8; P < .0001) compared with imatinib 400. In summary, there is an increased risk of CV-AEs (except hypertension) and AT-AEs in CML patients treated with newer TKIs, particularly with ponatinib. Patients on TKIs must be informed and closely monitored for vascular AEs. These studies were registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00048672, #NCT00038649, #NCT00050531, #NCT00254423, #NCT00129740, and #NCT01570868.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved survival for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). No overall survival differences were observed between patients initiating first- and second-generation TKIs in trials; however, real-world safety and cost outcomes are unclear. We evaluated comparative safety and health care expenditures between first-line imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib among patients with CML. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had one or more fills for imatinib, dasatinib, or nilotinib in the MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental databases between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2016 (earliest fill is the index date), 6 months pre-index continuous enrollment, CML diagnosis, and no TKI use in the pre-index period. Hospitalizations or emergency department visits (safety events) were compared across treatment groups using propensity-score-weighted 1-year relative risks (RRs) and subdistribution hazard ratios (HRs). Inflation-adjusted annual health care expenditures were compared using quantile regression. RESULTS Eligible patients included 1,417 receiving imatinib, 1,067 receiving dasatinib, and 647 receiving nilotinib. The 1-year risk of safety events was high: imatinib, 37%; dasatinib, 44%; and nilotinib, 40%, with higher risks among patients receiving dasatinib (RR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.30) and nilotinib (RR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.23) compared with those receiving imatinib. Over a median of 1.7 years, the cumulative incidence of safety events was higher among patients receiving dasatinib (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.38) and nilotinib (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.24) than among those receiving imatinib. One-year health care expenditures were high (median, $125,987) and were significantly higher among patients initiating second-generation TKIs compared with those receiving imatinib (difference in medians: dasatinib v imatinib, $22,393; 95% CI, $17,068 to $27,718; nilotinib v imatinib, $19,463; 95% CI, $14,689 to $24,236). CONCLUSION Patients receiving imatinib had the lowest risk of hospitalization or emergency department visits and 1-year health care expenditures. Given a lack of significant differences in overall survival, imatinib may represent the ideal first-line therapy for patients, on average.

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
Despite remarkable efficacy, there is an emerging concern regarding TKI-associated cardiovascular toxicity in CML. Long term follow-up studies on association between TKI therapy and cardiovascular outcome have been limited. CML patients were accessed from the SEER 18 database from 1992 to 2011. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) specific mortality was calculated comparing the pre-TKI era to the TKI era using the Fine-Gray competing risk model. Overall, the TKI era was associated with a reduced cardiovascular mortality compared with the pre-TKI era (HR = 0.72; 95%CI, 0.59-0.89). Our results argue for continued aggressive screening, identification and management of cardiovascular risk factors among all CML patients, especially the elderly, and further investigation into specific mechanisms, factors and predictors of risks in TKI-treated CML.

Abstract
Advances in the management of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors have given rise to diverse modalities to treat cancer other than cytotoxic chemotherapy, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and cellular therapies. Currently, there are over 175 FDA-approved antineoplastic agents in the United States, many with a diverse and profound toxicity profile. Complications of antineoplastic therapy may result in the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission to provide acute symptom management. Accordingly, ICU providers caring for cancer patients should have a working knowledge of the toxicities and complications associated with antineoplastic therapy.

Comparative efficacy and tolerability of front-line treatments for newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia: an update network meta-analysis. BMC Cancer 2019; 19:849. [PMID: 31462241 PMCID: PMC6714291 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-019-6039-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recent years have witnessed the rapid evolution of therapies in chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML). To assess the efficacy and tolerability of all reported front-line treatments for patients with newly diagnosed CML, a multiple-treatments meta-analysis was performed, which accounted for both direct and indirect comparisons among those treatments. Methods Primary outcomes were the percentage of patients achieving major molecular response (MMR) and complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) within 12 months. Secondary outcomes included the percentage of progression to accelerated phase (AP), serious adverse effects (AEs), overall discontinuation and discontinuation for drug-related AEs. Direct pairwise meta-analysis and indirect multi-comparison meta-analysis among those treatments in each outcome were both conducted. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was calculated for all treatments in each outcome. Cluster analysis demonstrated the division of treatments into distinct groupings according to efficacy and tolerability profiles. Results A total of 21 randomized controlled trials (RCTs, including 10,187 patients) comparing 15 different interventions for CP-CML patients were included in this study. SUCRA analysis suggested that all tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective in newly diagnosed CP-CML when compared to traditional drugs. Newer TKIs and higher-dose imatinib generally resulted in faster cytogenetic and molecular responses when compared with standard-dose imatinib and traditional drugs. Furthermore, traditional drugs, higher-dose imatinib and newer TKIs demonstrated lower acceptability than standard-dose imatinib. One cluster of interventions, which included nilotinib (300/400 mg BID), dasatinib (100 mg QD) and radotinib (300 mg BID), demonstrated higher efficacy and tolerability than other treatments. Conclusions Nilotinib (300/400 mg BID), dasatinib (100 mg QD) and radotinib (300 mg BID) prove to be the most recommended front-line treatments of the greatest efficacy and tolerability for CP-CML patients. High-dose therapies are recommended only for patients in accelerated phase/blast phase or with suboptimal CML-CP response, and management of adverse events should be carried out to avoid compromising the clinical efficacy.

Abstract
A 76-year-old man, diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2010, had been on nilotinib for 7 years. He presented with right hemiparesis in September 2017. He had no history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, or smoking. Brain MRI revealed a border-zone infarction of the left cerebral hemisphere and a rapidly progressing severe left internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. He was initiated on clopidogrel and bosutinib instead of nilotinib. He presented with right hemiparesis once again in December 2017. Brain MRI revealed the border-zone infarction of the left cerebral hemisphere and a more progressed, severe bilateral ICA stenosis. A carotid ultrasound demonstrated iso-intense and concentrically narrowed ICA on both sides. Carotid artery stenting of the left ICA was performed in February 2018, and clopidogrel was replaced by cilostazol to provide a drug-induced rush. Carotid artery stenting of the right ICA was performed in June 2018 and cervical angiogram demonstrated that there were no residual artery stenoses in the bilateral stent. In recent years, several case reports suggest that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are associated with progressive artery stenosis and cause cerebral infarction. Brain imaging tests should be conducted to evaluate arterial stenosis progression for patients with a history of taking TKI when an arterial vascular event occurs.

Abstract
Significance: Antineoplastic therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of oncology patients. However, these treatments can bring to a higher incidence of side-effects, including the worrying cardiovascular toxicity (CTX). Recent Advances: Substantial evidence indicates multiple mechanisms of CTX, with redox mechanisms playing a key role. Recent data singled out mitochondria as key targets for antineoplastic drug-induced CTX; understanding the underlying mechanisms is, therefore, crucial for effective cardioprotection, without compromising the efficacy of anti-cancer treatments. Critical Issues: CTX can occur within a few days or many years after treatment. Type I CTX is associated with irreversible cardiac cell injury, and it is typically caused by anthracyclines and traditional chemotherapeutics. Type II CTX is generally caused by novel biologics and more targeted drugs, and it is associated with reversible myocardial dysfunction. Therefore, patients undergoing anti-cancer treatments should be closely monitored, and patients at risk of CTX should be identified before beginning treatment to reduce CTX-related morbidity. Future Directions: Genetic profiling of clinical risk factors and an integrated approach using molecular, imaging, and clinical data may allow the recognition of patients who are at a high risk of developing chemotherapy-related CTX, and it may suggest methodologies to limit damage in a wider range of patients. The involvement of redox mechanisms in cancer biology and anticancer treatments is a very active field of research. Further investigations will be necessary to uncover the hallmarks of cancer from a redox perspective and to develop more efficacious antineoplastic therapies that also spare the cardiovascular system.

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
Established guidelines exist for prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in hematological malignancies, but none for arterial thromboembolism. However, arterial and venous thromboembolism share the same provoking features—including altered procoagulant factors and defective fibrinolytic system. The morbidity for arterial thromboembolism is increasing in hematological malignancies, with the advent of immunomodulatory and targeted therapy. However, survival rate for hematological malignancy is improving. Consequently, as patients with hematological malignancies live longer, comorbidities including diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, may accentuate arterial thrombosis. Thus far, the scientific literature on prophylaxis and treatment for arterial thromboembolism in hematological malignancies is limited. This review highlights the pathogenesis, incidence and clinical features of arterial thromboembolism in hematological malignancies.
