Centanni M, Zaher O, Elhad D, Karlsson MO, Friberg LE. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models versus allometric scaling for prediction of tyrosine-kinase inhibitor exposure from adults to children. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2024:10.1007/s00280-024-04678-0. [PMID: 38782791 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-024-04678-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Model-based methods can predict pediatric exposure and support initial dose selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of allometric scaling of population pharmacokinetic (popPK) versus physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models in predicting the exposure of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for pediatric patients (≥ 2 years), based on adult data. The drugs imatinib, sunitinib and pazopanib were selected as case studies due to their complex PK profiles including high inter-patient variability, active metabolites, time-varying clearances and non-linear absorption. METHODS Pediatric concentration measurements and adult popPK models were derived from the literature. Adult PBPK models were generated in PK-Sim® using available physicochemical properties, calibrated to adult data when needed. PBPK and popPK models for the pediatric populations were translated from the models for adults and were used to simulate concentration-time profiles that were compared to the observed values. RESULTS Ten pediatric datasets were collected from the literature. While both types of models captured the concentration-time profiles of imatinib, its active metabolite, sunitinib and pazopanib, the PBPK models underestimated sunitinib metabolite concentrations. In contrast, allometrically scaled popPK simulations accurately predicted all concentration-time profiles. Trough concentration (Ctrough) predictions from the popPK model fell within a 2-fold range for all compounds, while 3 out of 5 PBPK predictions exceeded this range for the imatinib and sunitinib metabolite concentrations. CONCLUSION Based on the identified case studies it appears that allometric scaling of popPK models is better suited to predict exposure of TKIs in pediatric patients ≥ 2 years. This advantage may be attributed to the stable enzyme expression patterns from 2 years old onwards, which can be easily related to adult levels through allometric scaling. In some instances, both methods performed comparably. Understanding where discrepancies between the model methods arise, can further inform model development and ultimately support pediatric dose selection.

[PMID: 38033284 PMCID: PMC10906575 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.00897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Bosutinib is approved for adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed (ND); 500 mg once daily in resistant/intolerant (R/I) patients. Bosutinib has a different tolerability profile than other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and potentially less impact on growth (preclinical data). The primary objective of this first-in-child trial was to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for pediatric R/I and ND patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the phase I part of this international, open-label trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04258943), children age 1-18 years with R/I (per European LeukemiaNet 2013) Ph+ CML were enrolled using a 6 + 4 design, testing 300, 350, and 400 mg/m2 once daily with food. The RP2D was the dose resulting in 0/6 or 1/10 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first cycle and achieving adult target AUC levels for the respective indication. As ND participants were only enrolled in phase II, the ND RP2D was selected based on data from R/I patients. RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled; 27 were evaluable for DLT: six at 300 mg/m2, 11 at 350 mg/m2 (one DLT), and 10 at 400 mg/m2 (one DLT). The mean AUCs at 300 mg/m2, 350 mg/m2, and 400 mg/m2 were 2.20 μg h/mL, 2.52 μg h/mL, and 2.66 μg h/mL, respectively. The most common adverse event was diarrhea (93%; ≥grade 3: 11%). Seven patients stopped because of intolerance and eight because of insufficient response. Complete cytogenetic and major molecular response to bosutinib appeared comparable with other published phase I/II trials with second-generation TKIs in children. CONCLUSION Bosutinib was safe and effective. The pediatric RP2D was 400 mg/m2 once daily (max 600 mg/d) with food in R/I patients and 300 mg/m2 once daily (max 500 mg/d) with food in ND patients, which achieved targeted exposures as per adult experience.

Abstract
Nilotinib is a second-generation BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in both adult and pediatric patients. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of nilotinib in specific populations such as pregnant and lactating people remain poorly understood. Therefore, the objectives of the current study were to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to predict nilotinib PK in virtual drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies, as well as in pediatric, pregnant, and lactating populations. The nilotinib PBPK model was built in PK-Sim, which is part of the free and open-source software Open Systems Pharmacology. The observed clinical data for the validation of the nilotinib models were obtained from the literature. The model reasonably predicted nilotinib concentrations in the adult population; the DDIs between nilotinib and rifampin or ketoconazole in the adult population; and the PK in the pediatric, pregnant, and lactating populations, although in the latter 2 populations plasma concentrations were slightly underestimated. The ratio of predicted versus observed PK parameters for the adult model ranged from 0.71 to 1.11 for area under the concentration-time curve and 0.55 to 0.95 for maximum concentration. For the DDI, the predicted area under the concentration-time curve ratio and maximum concentration ratio fell within the Guest criterion. The current study demonstrated the utility of using PBPK modeling to understand the mechanistic basis of PK differences between adults and specific populations, such as pediatrics, and pregnant and lactating individuals, indicating that this technology can potentially inform or optimize dosing conditions in specific populations.

Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol 2024; 17:225-234.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized survival rates of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and replaced hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hSCT) as the key treatment option for these patients. More recently, the so-called Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) ALL has similarly benefitted from TKIs. However, many patients shift from the first generation TKI, imatinib, due to treatment-related toxicities or lack of treatment efficacy. A more personalized approach to TKI treatment could counteract these challenges and potentially be more cost-effective. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has led to higher response rates and less treatment-related toxicity in adult CML but is rarely used in ALL or in childhood CML. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes different antileukemic treatment indications for TKIs with focus on imatinib and its pharmacokinetic/-dynamic properties as well as opportunities and pitfalls of TDM for imatinib treatment in relation to pharmacogenetics and co-medication for pediatric and adult Ph+/Ph-like leukemias. EXPERT OPINION TDM of imatinib adds value to standard monitoring of ABL-class leukemia by uncovering non-adherence and potentially mitigating adverse effects. Clinically implementable pharmacokinetic/-dynamic models adjusted for relevant pharmacogenetics could improve individual dosing. Prospective trials of TDM-based treatments, including both children and adults, are needed.

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
Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) is revolutionizing the management of pediatric Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), offering alternatives to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT). We conducted a comprehensive review of 16 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) encompassing 887 pediatric CML patients treated with TKIs including Imatinib, Dasatinib, and Nilotinib. The median patient age ranged from 6.5 to 14 years, with a median white blood cell count of 234 x 10^9/uL, median hemoglobin level of 9.05 g/dL, and median platelet count of 431.5 x 10^9/µL. Imatinib seems to be predominant first line TKI, with the most extensive safety and efficacy data. BCR::ABL response rates below 10% ranged from 60% to 78%, CCyR at 24 months ranged from 62% to 94%, and PFS showed variability from 56.8% to 100%, albeit with differing analysis timepoints. The Safety profile of TKIs was consistent with the known safety profile in adults. With the availability of three TKIs as first line options, multiple factors should be considered when selecting first line TKI, including drug formulation, administration, comorbidities, and financial issues. Careful monitoring of adverse events, especially in growing children, should be considered in long term follow-up clinical trials.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of nilotinib in pediatric patients with imatinib/dasatinib resistant/intolerant (R/I) or newly diagnosed (ND) Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) was demonstrated in the phase 2, open-label DIALOG study. In this final analysis, long-term efficacy and safety are presented for patients who completed 66 cycles (of 28 days) of treatment with nilotinib (230 mg/m2 twice daily) or discontinued early. Overall, 59 patients were enrolled and 58 were treated (R/I, n = 33; ND, n = 25; median time on treatment: 60.5 and 51.9 months, respectively). In the R/I cohort, the cumulative major molecular response (MMR; BCR::ABL1 international scale [IS] ≤ 0.1%) rate was 60.6%, and no patients had a confirmed loss of MMR. Among ND patients, the best overall MMR rate was 76.0%; 3 patients had a confirmed loss of MMR. The cumulative molecular response MR4 (BCR::ABL1IS ≤ 0.01%) and MR4.5 (BCR::ABL1IS ≤ 0.0032%) rates by 66 cycles were 27.3% and 12.1% in the R/I cohort, and 56.0% and 44.0% in the ND cohort, respectively. The safety profile of nilotinib was consistent with those of earlier reports. No on-treatment deaths occurred. These long-term (up to ∼5 years) data support the efficacy and safety of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML-CP. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov.uk as #NCT01844765.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the recent full FDA approval of lecanemab, there is currently no disease modifying therapy (DMT) that can efficiently slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the general population. This statement emphasizes the need to identify novel DMTs in the shortest time possible to prevent a global epidemic of AD cases as the world population experiences an increase in lifespan. AREAS COVERED Here, we review several classes of anti-cancer drugs that have been or are being investigated in Phase II/III clinical trials for AD, including immunomodulatory drugs, RXR agonists, sex hormone therapies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies. EXPERT OPINION Given the overall course of brain pathologies during the progression of AD, we express a great enthusiasm for the repositioning of anti-cancer drugs as possible AD DMTs. We anticipate an increasing number of combinatorial therapy strategies to tackle AD symptoms and their underlying pathologies. However, we strongly encourage improvements in clinical trial study designs to better assess target engagement and possible efficacy over sufficient periods of drug exposure.

Abstract
Many types of oral molecular-targeted anticancer drugs are clinically used in cancer genomic medicine. Combinations of multiple molecular-targeted anticancer drugs are also being investigated, expecting to prolong the survival of patients with cancer. Therapeutic drug monitoring of oral molecular-targeted drugs is important to ensure efficacy and safety. A liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) has been used for simultaneous determination of these drugs in human plasma. However, the sensitivity of mass spectrometers and differences in the therapeutic range of drugs have rendered the development of simultaneous LC/ESI-MS/MS methods difficult. In this study, a simultaneous quantitative method for 20 oral molecular-targeted anticancer drugs and the active metabolite of sunitinib was developed based on the results of linear range shifts of the calibration curves using four ion abundance adjustment techniques (collision energy defects, in-source collision-induced dissociation, secondary product ion selected reaction monitoring, and isotopologue selected reaction monitoring). The saturation of the detector for the seven analytes was resolved by incorporating optimal ion abundance adjustment techniques. Furthermore, the reproducibility of this method was confirmed in validation tests, and plasma from patients was measured by this method to demonstrate its usefulness in actual clinical practice. This analytical method is expected to make a substantial contribution to the promotion of personalized medicine in the future.

Dose optimization strategy of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib for chronic myeloid leukemia: From clinical trials to real-life settings. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1146108. [PMID: 37091188 PMCID: PMC10113500 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1146108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
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
Over the past 40 years, the 5-years-overall survival rate of pediatric cancer reached 75-80%, and for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), exceeded 90%. Leukemia continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity for specific patient populations, including infants, adolescents, and patients with high-risk genetic abnormalities. The future of leukemia treatment needs to count better on molecular therapies as well as immune and cellular therapy. Advances in the scientific interface have led naturally to advances in the treatment of childhood cancer. These discoveries have involved the recognition of the importance of chromosomal abnormalities, the amplification of the oncogenes, the aberration of tumor suppressor genes, as well as the dysregulation of cellular signaling and cell cycle control. Lately, novel therapies that have already proven efficient on relapsed/refractory ALL in adults are being evaluated in clinical trials for young patients. Tirosine kinase inhibitors are, by now, part of the standardized treatment of Ph+ALL pediatric patients, and Blinatumomab, with promising results in clinical trials, received both FDA and EMA approval for use in children. Moreover, other targeted therapies such as aurora-kinase inhibitors, MEK-inhibitors, and proteasome-inhibitors are involved in clinical trials that include pediatric patients. This is an overview of the novel leukemia therapies that have been developed starting from the molecular discoveries and those that have been applied in pediatric populations.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare myeloproliferative disease in children. The primary cause of CML is the chimeric BCR::ABL1 gene in hematopoietic stem cells, which leads to leukocytosis, platelet proliferation, and splenomegaly. Lately, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have replaced hematopoietic cell transplantation, which was previously considered the only curative therapy, as the first-line treatment for chronic-phase CML. However, the clinical efficacy of TKIs, including those effective in adult CML, has not been well-investigated in pediatric CML. This review describes the recommended TKI-based management strategies for pediatric CML according to the literature and guidelines. Furthermore, we discuss the prospects for TKI discontinuation to avoid important adverse events, such as growth impairment, in children.

Practical Recommendations for the Manipulation of Kinase Inhibitor Formulations to Age-Appropriate Dosage Forms. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122834. [PMID: 36559327 PMCID: PMC9782008 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14122834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Over 75 kinase inhibitors (KIs) have been approved for the treatment of various cancers. KIs are orally administrated but mostly lack pediatric age-appropriate dosage forms or instructions for dose manipulation. This is highly problematic for clinical practice in pediatric oncology, as flexible oral formulations are essential to individually set dosages and to adjust it to a child's swallowability. Most KIs are poorly soluble, categorized in Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II or IV, and improperly manipulating the KI formulation can alter pharmacokinetics and jeopardize KI drug safety and efficacy. Therefore, the goals of this review were to provide practical recommendations for manipulating the formulation of the 15 most frequently used KIs in pediatric oncology (i.e., bosutinib, cabozantinib, cobimetinib, crizotinib, dabrafenib, dasatinib, entrectinib, imatinib, larotrectinib, nilotinib, ponatinib, ruxolitinib, selumetinib, sunitinib and trametinib) based on available literature studies and fundamental drug characteristics and to establish a decision tool that supports decisions regarding formulation manipulation of solid oral dosages of KIs that have been or will be licensed (for adult and/or pediatric cancers) but are not included in this review.

Abstract
Simple Summary Targeted therapies in children with hematological malignancies moderate the effects of cytotoxic therapy, thus improving survival rates. They have emerged over the last decade and are used in combination with or after the failure of conventional chemotherapy and as bridging therapy prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nowadays, there is a growing interest in their efficacy and safety in pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed disease. The compromised immune system, even prior to therapy, requires prompt monitoring and treatment. In children with hematological malignancies, targeted therapies are associated with a comparable incidence of infectious complications to adults. The exact impact of these agents that have different mechanisms of action and are used after conventional chemotherapy or HSCT is difficult to ascertain. Clinicians should be cautious of severe infections after the use of targeted therapies, especially when used in combination with chemotherapy. Abstract The aim of this review is to highlight mechanisms of immunosuppression for each agent, along with pooled analyses of infectious complications from the available medical literature. Rituximab confers no increase in grade ≥3 infectious risks, except in the case of patients with advanced-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin links with high rates of grade ≥3 infections which, however, are comparable with historical cohorts. Pembrolizumab exhibits a favorable safety profile in terms of severe infections. Despite high rates of hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) with blinatumomab, low-grade ≥3 infection rates were observed, especially in the post-reinduction therapy of relapsed B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Imatinib and nilotinib are generally devoid of severe infectious complications, but dasatinib may slightly increase the risk of opportunistic infections. Data on crizotinib and pan-Trk inhibitors entrectinib and larotrectinib are limited. CAR T-cell therapy with tisagenlecleucel is associated with grade ≥3 infections in children and is linked with HGG and the emergence of immune-related adverse events. Off-label therapies inotuzumab ozogamicin, brentuximab vedotin, and venetoclax demonstrate low rates of treatment-related grade ≥3 infections, while the addition of bortezomib to standard chemotherapy in T-cell malignancies seems to decrease the infection risk during induction. Prophylaxis, immune reconstitution, and vaccinations for each targeted agent are discussed, along with comparisons to adult studies.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of medicine, even nowadays, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is still a problem for pediatric clinicians. Modern medicine has reached a limit of curability even though the recovery rate exceeds 90%. Relapse occurs in around 20% of treated patients and, regrettably, 10% of diagnosed ALL patients are still incurable. In this article, we would like to focus on the treatment resistance and disease relapse of patients with B-cell leukemia in the context of prognostic factors of ALL. We demonstrate the mechanisms of the resistance to steroid therapy and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and assess the impact of genetic factors on the treatment resistance, especially TCF3::HLF translocation. We compare therapeutic protocols and decipher how cancer cells become resistant to innovative treatments—including CAR-T-cell therapies and monoclonal antibodies. The comparisons made in our article help to bring closer the main factors of resistance in hematologic malignancies in the context of ALL.

Abstract
Protein kinase inhibitors are amongst the most successful cancer treatments, but targetable kinases activated by genomic abnormalities are rare in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Nevertheless, kinases can be activated in the absence of genetic defects. Thus, phosphoproteomics can provide information on pathway activation and signaling networks that offer opportunities for targeted therapy. Here, we describe a mass spectrometry-based global phosphoproteomic profiling of 11 T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines to identify targetable kinases. We report a comprehensive dataset consisting of 21,000 phosphosites on 4,896 phosphoproteins, including 217 kinases. We identify active Src-family kinases signaling as well as active cyclin-dependent kinases. We validate putative targets for therapy ex vivo and identify potential combination treatments, such as the inhibition of the INSR/IGF-1R axis to increase the sensitivity to dasatinib treatment. Ex vivo validation of selected drug combinations using patient-derived xenografts provides a proof-of-concept for phosphoproteomics-guided design of personalized treatments.

Abstract
Cutaneous adverse events (cAEs) from targeted antineoplastic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors are common in children with cancer and may lead to dose reduction or cessation of critical oncologic treatment. Timely diagnosis and proper management of cAEs in pediatric oncology patients is essential to optimize ongoing cancer-directed therapy and improve quality of life. This systematic review of published studies summarizes dermatologic toxicities to targeted anticancer treatments and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
The fundamental pathophysiology of malignancies is dysregulation of the signalling pathways. Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are among the enzymes which, if mutated, play a critical role in carcinogenesis. The best-studied rearrangement, which enhances PTK activity and causes atypical proliferation, is BCR-ABL1. Abnormal expression of PTKs has proven to play a significant role in the development of various malignancies, such as chronic myelogenous leukaemia, brain tumours, neuroblastoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an outstanding example of successful target therapy. TKIs have been effectively applied in the adult oncology setting, but there is a need to establish TKIs’ importance in paediatric patients. Many years of research have allowed a significant improvement in the outcome of childhood cancers. However, there are still groups of patients who have a poor prognosis, where the intensification of chemotherapy could even cause death. TKIs are designed to target specific PTKs, which lead to the limitation of severe adverse effects and increase overall survival. These advances will hopefully allow new therapeutic approaches in paediatric haemato-oncology to emerge. In this review, we present an analysis of the current data on tyrosine kinase inhibitors in childhood cancers.

Abstract
Targeted therapy has revolutionized the treatment of poor-prognosis pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with specific genetic abnormalities. It is still being described as a new landmark therapeutic approach. The main purpose of the use of molecularly targeted drugs and immunotherapy in the treatment of ALL is to improve the treatment outcomes and reduce the doses of conventional chemotherapy, while maintaining the effectiveness of the therapy. Despite promising treatment results, there is limited clinical research on the effect of target cell therapy on the potential toxic events in children and adolescents. The recent development of highly specific molecular methods has led to an improvement in the identification of numerous unique expression profiles of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The detection of specific genetic mutations determines patients’ risk groups, which allows for patient stratification and for an adjustment of the directed and personalized target therapies that are focused on particular molecular alteration. This review summarizes the knowledge concerning the toxicity of molecular-targeted drugs and immunotherapies applied in childhood ALL.

[PMID: 34309636 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2020003759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The phase 2, open-label study (DIALOG) of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) met its coprimary end points, showing sustained nilotinib efficacy in patients with newly diagnosed (ND) or imatinib/dasatinib resistant/intolerant (R/I) CML. This update assessed growth and safety profiles in patients who had completed ≥48, 28-day treatment cycles of nilotinib 230 mg/m2 twice daily, or previously discontinued the study. Height was assessed regularly and reported using standard deviation scores (SDSs) based on World Health Organization growth charts. All data were summarized descriptively (cutoff, 6 March 2019). Overall, 33 patients in the R/I cohort and 25 patients in the ND cohort received nilotinib. Each cohort showed a negative slope in height SDS over the course of the study, indicating attenuated growth rates during nilotinib treatment: overall median change from baseline in height SDS after 48 cycles was -0.54 SDS (range, - 1.6 to 0.4) and -0.91 SDS (-1.4 to -0.1) in R/I and ND cohorts, respectively. Patients in the R/I cohort were shorter at baseline than those in the ND cohort, and remained so throughout the study. The most common all-cause adverse events were increased blood bilirubin (53.4%), headache (46.6%), pyrexia (37.9%), and increased alanine transferase (36.2%). Apart from the impact on growth, the safety profile of nilotinib was generally consistent with previous reports. This study was registered on www.clinicaltrials.gov at #NCT01844765.

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
The use of targeted small-molecule therapeutics and immunotherapeutics has been limited to date in pediatric oncology. Recently, the number of pediatric approvals has risen, and regulatory initiatives in the United States and Europe have aimed to increase the study of novel anticancer therapies in children. Challenges of drug development in children include the rarity of individual cancer diagnoses and the high prevalence of difficult-to-drug targets, including transcription factors and epigenetic regulators. Ongoing pediatric adaptation of biomarker-driven trial designs and further exploration of agents targeting non-kinase drivers constitute high-priority objectives for future pediatric oncology drug development. SIGNIFICANCE: Increasing attention to drug development for children with cancer by regulators and pharmaceutical companies holds the promise of accelerating the availability of new therapies for children with cancer, potentially improving survival and decreasing the acute and chronic toxicities of therapy. However, unique approaches are necessary to study novel therapies in children that take into account low patient numbers, the pediatric cancer genomic landscape and tumor microenvironment, and the need for pediatric formulations. It is also critical to evaluate the potential for unique toxicities in growing hosts without affecting the pace of discovery for children with these life-threatening diseases.
