Lipton JH, Brümmendorf TH, Sweet K, Apperley JF, Cortes JE. Practical considerations in the management of patients treated with bosutinib for chronic myeloid leukemia. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:3429-3442. [PMID: 39023573 PMCID: PMC11358173 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05851-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Bosutinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and for patients with Ph + chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase CML resistant or intolerant to prior therapy. As is the case for all TKIs approved for treatment of CML, bosutinib is associated with adverse events (AEs) that require appropriate management to ensure adherence to treatment and optimized outcomes. The aim of this review is to provide physicians with updated practical information for the prevention and management of AEs occurring during treatment with bosutinib, including dosing strategies, based on the latest published evidence and clinical experience. Clinical studies and real-world evidence have shown bosutinib has a generally favorable safety profile, which has remained consistent across lines of therapy and in long-term reports. Adjusting the starting dose and/or modifying the dose during treatment with bosutinib are important strategies to manage AEs and improve tolerability, which are recognized within the label and in treatment guidelines. Dosing adjustment strategies to manage AEs are a recognized management approach for other TKIs in the treatment of CML and are not exclusive to bosutinib. In summary, long-term results from clinical trials and emerging real-world evidence demonstrate bosutinib has a safety profile that can largely be managed with treatment modifications and/or supportive care. Increased experience in managing toxicities and by using a personalized dosing approach may further improve adherence and outcomes with bosutinib.

Clinical efficacy and safety of first-line nilotinib or imatinib therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia-Nationwide real life data. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e70158. [PMID: 39267544 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.70158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the outcomes of first-line imatinib versus nilotinib treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP) in real-world clinical practice. METHODS A propensity score analysis was performed to eliminate imbalances between the treatment groups. In the analysis, 163 patients in the nilotinib group and 163 patients in the matched imatinib group were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Nilotinib-treated patients achieved complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and major molecular response more rapidly than imatinib-treated patients. However, there was no significant difference in 5-year overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) between the two groups (OS: 94.3% vs. 90.5%, p = 0.602; PFS: 92.9% vs. 88.0%, p = 0.614). Nilotinib-treated patients had a higher failure-free survival (FFS) and event-free survival (EFS) than imatinib-treated patients (FFS: 71.7% vs. 54.3%, p = 0.040; EFS: 71.7% vs. 53.5%, p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS This retrospective analysis from clinical practice did not confirm any benefit of frontline nilotinib treatment for OS and PFS; however, it did demonstrate higher FFS and EFS in the nilotinib cohort.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is caused by BCR::ABL1. Tyrosine kinase-inhibitors (TKIs) are the initial therapy. Several organizations have reported milestones to evaluate response to initial TKI-therapy and suggest when a change of TKI should be considered. Achieving treatment-free remission (TFR) is increasingly recognized as the optimal therapy goal. Which TKI is the best initial therapy for which persons and what depth and duration of molecular remission is needed to achieve TFR are controversial. In this review we discuss these issues and suggest future research directions.

Cardiovascular Adverse Events of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Clinical Relevance, Impact on Outcome, Preventive Measures and Treatment Strategies. Curr Treat Options Oncol 2023; 24:1720-1738. [PMID: 38047977 DOI: 10.1007/s11864-023-01149-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
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.
