Ann Hematol 2024:10.1007/s00277-024-05851-4. [PMID: 39023573 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05851-4] [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: 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.

Incidence of pleural effusion with dasatinib and the effect of switching therapy to a different TKI in patients with chronic phase CML. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:1941-1945. [PMID: 38634915 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05760-6] [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: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Dasatinib is one of the second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) which is approved for the treatment of patients with chronic phase CML (CP-CML) both in the front line and in the second line setting. Pleural effusion (PE) is a unique toxicity associated with dasatinib use. Our aim was to study the incidence of pleural effusion in our cohort of patients who were treated with dasatinib for CP-CML and the safety upon TKI switch. A total of 390 patients were treated with dasatinib during their course of treatment for CP-CML. A total of 69 patients (17.6%) developed any grade of PE. About 33 (48%) patients developed CTCAE grade 2 PE, 34 (49%) grade 3 and only 1 patient developed grade 4 PE. Recurrence of PE was observed in 34 (49%) patients. While only 12 patients (17.3%) continued using dasatinib after development of PE, dasatinib was discontinued in the other 57 patients. Therapy was switched to bosutinib in 13 patients out of which 6 (46%) patients re-developed PE. While only 12.5% patients developed re-accumulation of pleural fluid in patients switched to imatinib, none of the patients switched to nilotinib re-developed PE. A change in TKI to bosutinib was associated with a 46% risk of recurrence of PE in patients who develop PE on dasatinib for the treatment of CP-CML. The incidence of recurrent PE was markedly lower in patient switched to imatinib or nilotinib.

Abstract
The development of the BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has transformed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from a fatal disease to an often-indolent illness that, when managed effectively, can restore a life expectancy close to that of the normal population. Bosutinib is a second-generation TKI approved for adults with Ph-positive CML in chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase that is resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, and for newly diagnosed Ph-positive chronic phase CML. This review details the efficacy of bosutinib for the treatment of CML in the first- and second-line settings, as well as in third- and later-line settings for high-risk patients resistant or intolerant to at least 2 TKIs. It also outlines bosutinib studies that provide evidence for dose-optimization strategies that can be used to improve efficacy and effectively manage adverse events. The studies that provide evidence for specific patient populations benefiting particularly from bosutinib dose-optimization strategies are also discussed. The well-established, long-term side-effect profile and the potential to make dose adjustments with bosutinib make it an appropriate treatment option for patients with CML. Bosutinib has demonstrated a positive impact on health-related quality of life and an important role in the long-term treatment of patients with CML.
