Abstract
The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has transformed the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Each approved TKI has its own risk-benefit profile, and patients have choices across lines of therapy. Identifying the initial and subsequent treatment that will lead to the best possible outcome for individual patients is challenging. In this review, we summarize data for each approved TKI across lines of therapy in patients with CML in chronic phase, highlighting elements of each agent's safety and efficacy profile that may impact patient selection, and provide insights into individualized treatment sequencing decision-making aimed at optimizing patient outcomes.

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.

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.

Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:559.

Abstract
BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective drugs in the treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. However, based on clinical studies, ponatinib was associated with the development of thrombotic complications. Since endothelial cells (ECs) regulate blood coagulation, their abnormal phenotype may play a role in the development of thrombotic events. We here aimed to investigate the effect of ponatinib on the procoagulant activity of cultured endothelial cells in vitro. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were incubated with 50, 150, and 1000 nM of ponatinib. Subsequently, phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and endothelial microvesicles (EMVs) were measured by flow cytometry. In addition, EC- and EMV-dependent thrombin generation was analyzed. To investigate pro-apoptotic effects of ponatinib, the level of Bax and Bcl-xL proteins were studied using Western blot and F3, THBD, and VCAM1 mRNAs were quantified by qPCR. Therapeutic concentrations of ponatinib significantly increased PS expression on ECs and the amount of EMVs which significantly shortened the time parameters of thrombin generation. In addition, these changes were associated with an increased ratio of Bax and Bcl-xL proteins in the presence of the decreased THBD mRNA level. Overall, ponatinib enhances the procoagulant activity of ECs via inducing apoptosis, which may contribute to thrombotic events.

Long-Term Follow-Up in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treated With Ponatinib in a Real-World Cohort: Safety and Efficacy Analysis. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA, MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2024; 24:158-164. [PMID: 37973457 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2023.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ponatinib is a third-generation tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI), indicated in patients with chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), who are resistant or intolerant to ≥2 prior TKIs, patients for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not appropriate, and patients who have a T315I mutation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We aimed to evaluate outcomes of ponatinib treatment, including safety, with focus on cardiovascular toxicity, in real-world patients from Argentina. Data from patients with CP CML treated with ponatinib was retrospectively retrieved from 2013 to 2023 in 7 centers. RESULTS Seventy-two patients were included (median age: 44 years; male: 55.5%; T315I mutation: 32%: median treatment duration: 36 months. At baseline, 57 patients (79%) had a breakpoint cluster region-Abelson (BCR::ABL1) transcript level >10% on the international reporting scale (BCR::ABL1 IS). A molecular response (MR, BCR::ABL1 (IS) <1%) was achieved at 12 months in 51.6% of evaluable patients; 57% maintained MR at last follow-up. Overall, 43% and 25% maintained major MR (MMR) or deep MR (DMR) (MR4.0-MR5.0), respectively at last follow-up. Twelve (16.6%) ponatinib-resistant patients were rescued with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The estimated 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 84%. Ponatinib dose was reduced during treatment in 22 patients; nevertheless, MMR was maintained in 50% of these patients. Severe arterial occlusive events (AOE) were reported in 10.9% of patients after a median treatment of 5 months. CONCLUSION CV toxicity was consistent with clinical trials and other real-world registries. Older age, hypercholesterolemia and a SCORE risk >2% were significantly associated with higher risk of AOEs. Controlling CV risk factors and reducing doses at optimal time points may help to optimize ponatinib use in daily practice.

Physical exercise recommendations for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia based on individual preferences identified in a large international patient survey study of the East German Study Group for Hematology and Oncology (OSHO #97). Front Oncol 2024; 14:1345050.

Abstract
Background Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly lowered mortality of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients adjusting life expectancy to that of the standard population. However, CML and its treatment with TKIs causes a high disease burden. Physical exercise (PE) could be a non-pharmacological approach to reducing these and improving quality of life. Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the individual disease burden as well as PE preferences of CML patients and to deduce thereof specific PE recommendations. Methods This multicenter survey was conducted in cooperation with the LeukaNET/Leukemia-patient network including CML patients aged ≥18 years (German Registry of Clinical Trials, DRKS00023698). The severity of selected symptoms was assessed using the adapted Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Symptom Assessment Form: 0 (absent), 1-30 (mild), 31-70 (moderate), or 71-100 (severe). Information about patients' PE needs and preferences depending on their motivation was recorded. Results A total of 212 questionnaires were analyzed (52% female, median age 54 years). The prevalence of moderate-to-severe symptoms was 49% for fatigue, 40% for musculoskeletal pain, and 37% for concentration problems. Other commonly reported symptoms included skin reactions (42%) and weight gain (24%). The proportion of overweight/obese patients was 52%. Half of all respondents requested more information regarding PE. Patients with CML preferred individual training (82%), located outdoors (71%), at home (47%), or in an indoor swimming pool (31%). Regarding the training frequency, sports-inactive patients preferred a frequency of 1-2 training sessions per week, whereas sports-active patients preferred 3-4 sessions per week (p <0.001). Sports-inactive patients preferred a training time of 15-45 minutes, while sports-active patients preferred 30-60 minutes (p = 0.002). Subsequently, PE recommendations were developed for patients with CML. Combined resistance and endurance training (moderate intensity twice per week for 30 minutes) was recommended for beginners. Obese patients should prioritize joint-relieving sports. To reduce the risk of skin reactions, direct sunlight and possibly water sports should be avoided, and UV protection should be used. Conclusion Counseling and motivation of CML patients to be physically active should be part of the standard of care as well as support for implementation.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to provide real-world evidence on the characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in Hungary between 2011 and 2019. Patients and methods: This nationwide, retrospective study included patients who were newly diagnosed with CML in Hungarian clinical practice between January 2011 and December 2019. The analysis was based on the reimbursed prescription claims for imatinib, bosutinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, or ponatinib with the ICD-10 code C9210 in a public pharmacy between January 2009 and December 2019 using data from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) of Hungary. CML incidence and prevalence, TKI treatment patterns, comorbidities, and overall survival (OS) were examined. Results: Between 2011 and 2019, altogether 1,407 patients were diagnosed with CML, with an annual average of 156 patients. The number of patients newly initiating first-line TKI therapy for CML significantly increased between 2011 and 2019 (2011: n = 136 vs. 2019: n = 191; p = 0.0043). Nilotinib was typically prescribed for younger patients (≤64 years), while older patients (≥65 years) mostly received imatinib. The most common comorbidity of CML patients was hypertension, and the proportion of patients with other malignancies was relatively high in all treatment groups. 5-year OS was 77.1% during the whole study period. Patients initiating first-line TKI treatment for CML in 2015 had significantly better 4-year OS compared to those starting treatment in 2011 (82.4% vs. 73.5%, respectively, (HR 0.53 (95%CI 0.32-0.87) p = 0.0118). Conclusion: This study is the first to provide insights into the characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of CML patients treated with TKIs in Hungarian clinical practice between 2011 and 2019. We found slightly lower OS rates compared to other European countries, however, there was a statistically significant improvement in 4-year OS during the study period. The management of CML was in line with international guidelines and recommendations.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important contributor to the cardiovascular burden in cancer survivors. The development of coronary ischemia events, myocardial infarction, and heart failure has been associated with many conventional chemotherapeutic agents, new targeted therapies, and immunotherapy. The most frequent pathological manifestations of chemotherapy-mediated coronary damage include acute vasospasm, acute thrombosis, accelerated atherosclerosis development, and microvascular dysfunction. Potential screening techniques for CAD patients include baseline risk factor evaluation, polygenic risk factors, and coronary artery calcium scores. Determining the risk requires consideration of both the type of chemotherapy and the type of cancer being treated. Cardiology-oncology guidelines offer some suggestions for the care of coronary artery disease, which might involve medication, lifestyle changes, and coronary revascularization.

Abstract
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with nilotinib or ponatinib may experience arterial occlusive events (AOEs). It is currently recommended to thoroughly assess cardiovascular risk factors before treating CML. We identified 455 consecutive CML adult patients, 335 treated with nilotinib and 120 with ponatinib; 380 patients without previous cardiovascular diseases or diabetes were stratified according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE2) and SCORE2-Older Persons (SCORE2-OP). This updated algorithm from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) estimates a 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular diseases. It is based on sex, age, smoking habits, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and European geographical region of cardiovascular risk. The SCORE2/SCORE2-OP algorithm translated more patients (50.2%) to the high-very high cardiovascular risk category than the previous SCORE (25.3%). Patients with a high to very high SCORE2/SCORE2-OP risk showed a significantly higher incidence rate of AOEs (69.2% vs. 46.5%, p < 0.001). The older SCORE was less specific in estimating AOEs in patients classified as low-intermediate risk (69.8 vs. 54.2%). In multivariate analysis, no associations were found between AOEs and gender, age, and type or dose of tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Only the SCORE2/SCORE2-OP risk was confirmed as a significant predictive factor (p = 0.028; hazard ratio = 2.2; 95% confidence interval = 1.1-4.5). Patients with AOEs required, in most cases, imaging diagnostic tests, additional drugs, and sometimes invasive procedures, increasing access to visits and hospital management. This real-life study suggested that the SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP charts could help identify cardiovascular fragility in CML patients providing them with more attention and a proper TKI selection.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are essential drugs for chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Cardiovascular or arteriothrombotic adverse events have been reported in patients treated with TKIs. We report 3 cases of Ponatinib-related vasospastic angina, in which prophylactic administration of nitrates or calcium channel blockers was effective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chromosome segregation 1-like (CSE1L) is abundant and strongly expressed in solid tumors. However, the expression and role of CSE1L in chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) remain largely unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The relative expression levels of CSE1L in bone marrow granulocytes from patients with primary CML and non-hematologic controls were measured by flow cytometry. Cell counting kit-8 analysis, DNA Content Quantitation Assay, and Annexin V-PE/7-AAD staining were applied to assess the effects of CSE1L knockdown on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. RESULTS Elevated expression of CSE1L was detected in bone marrow granulocytes of patients with primary CML. In the CML cell line K562 cells, CSE1L knockdown impaired cell proliferation blocked the cell cycle shift from G0/G1 phase to the S phase, and promoted apoptosis. Knockdown of CSE1L reduced Bcl-2 protein expression and increased Bax protein expression. Meanwhile, knockdown of CSE1L enhanced the expression of phospho-AMPK protein and decreased the expression of phospho-mTOR protein. The expression of total AMPK and mTOR proteins was not affected. In addition, CSE1L expression levels were decreased in imatinib-treated K562 cells. CONCLUSIONS CSE1L plays a pivotal role in K562 cell survival and growth. These functions may be partially dependent on the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway to achieve. In addition, CSE1L may have had a future impact on the treatment of CML patients.

Abstract
A high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). However, MPN-related glomerulopathy (MPN-RG) may not account for the entirety of CKD risk in this population. The systemic vasculopathy encountered in these patients raises the hypothesis that vascular nephrosclerosis may be a common pattern of injury in patients with MPN and with CKD. In an exhaustive, retrospective, multicenter study of MPN kidney biopsies in four different pathology departments, we now describe glomerular and vascular lesions and establish clinicopathologic correlations. Our study encompassed 47 patients with MPN who underwent a kidney biopsy that included 16 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 31 patients with non-CML MPN. Fourteen cases met a proposed definition of MPN-RG based on mesangial sclerosis and hypercellularity, as well as glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy. MPN-RG was significantly associated with both myelofibrosis and poorer kidney survival. Thirty-three patients had moderate-to-severe arteriosclerosis while 39 patients had moderate-to-severe arteriolar hyalinosis. Multivariable models that included 188 adult native kidney biopsies as controls revealed an association between MPN and chronic kidney vascular damage, which was independent of established risk factors such as age, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Therefore, MPN-RG is associated with myelofibrosis and has a poor kidney prognosis. Thus, our findings suggest that the kidney vasculature is a target during MPN-associated vasculopathy and establish a new link between MPN and CKD. Hence, these results may raise new hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of vascular nephrosclerosis in the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) approved in Italy for frontline treatment of chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML). The choice of TKI is based on a combined evaluation of the patient's and the disease characteristics. The aim of this study was to analyze the use of frontline TKI therapy in an unselected cohort of Italian patients with CP-CML to correlate the choice with the patient's features. METHODS A total of 1967 patients with CP-CML diagnosed between 2012 and 2019 at 36 centers throughout Italy were retrospectively evaluated; 1089 patients (55.4%) received imatinib and 878 patients (44.6%) received a second-generation (2G) TKI. RESULTS Second-generation TKIs were chosen for most patients aged <45 years (69.2%), whereas imatinib was used in 76.7% of patients aged >65 years (p < .001). There was a predominant use of imatinib in intermediate/high European long-term survival risk patients (60.0%/66.0% vs. 49.7% in low-risk patients) and a limited use of 2G-TKIs in patients with comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, previous neoplasms, ischemic heart disease, or stroke and in those with >3 concomitant drugs. We observed a greater use of imatinib (61.1%) in patients diagnosed in 2018-2019 compared to 2012-2017 (53.2%; p = .002). In multivariable analysis, factors correlated with imatinib use were age > 65 years, spleen size, the presence of comorbidities, and ≥3 concomitant medications. CONCLUSIONS This observational study of almost 2000 cases of CML shows that imatinib is the frontline drug of choice in 55% of Italian patients with CP-CML, with 2G-TKIs prevalently used in younger patients and in those with no concomitant clinical conditions. Introduction of the generic formulation in 2018 seems to have fostered imatinib use.

Abstract
This retrospective chart review study investigated the clinical burden of adult patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) treated at three centers in France (2006-2021) who failed on two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs; third-line [3L]+ cohort) or harbored the BCR::ABL1 T315I mutation (T315I cohort). In the 3L+ cohort (N = 157; median age at diagnosis, 56 years), TKIs received in 3L (median duration: 17 months) were dasatinib (32%), nilotinib (19%), imatinib (18%), ponatinib (17%), and bosutinib (14%). Of the 145 patients with documented responses in 3L, 42% experienced major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months. Median event-free survival [95% confidence interval] was 53.6 [44.0, 67.5] months, and median progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were not reached. Achieving MMR in 3L was associated with a decreased mortality risk. In the T315I cohort (N = 17; 52 years), 41% of patients received five or more lines of therapy. Following identification of the T315I mutation, ponatinib was the most common TKI used (59%); the median [interquartile range] OS was 5 [3-10] years. The most common adverse events were infections (3L+ cohort) and thrombocytopenia (T315I cohort) (both 18%). Well-tolerated therapies that achieve durable responses are needed in 3L or earlier to improve CP-CML prognosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular events are one of the main long-term complications in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The proper choice of TKI and the adequate management of risk factors may reduce cardiovascular comorbidity in this population. Methods: This study evaluated the cardiovascular risk of a cohort of patients with CML at diagnosis and after follow-up in a specialized cardiovascular risk consultation. In order to do this, we performed data analysis from 35 patients who received TKIs and were referred to the aforementioned consultation between 2015 and 2018 at our center. Cardiovascular risk factors were analyzed separately, as well as integrated into the cardiovascular SCORE, both at diagnosis and at the last visit to the specialized consultation. Results: At the time of diagnosis, 60% had some type of risk factor, 20% had a high or very high risk SCORE, 40% had an intermediate risk, and 40% belonged to the low risk category. During follow-up, the main cardiovascular adverse event observed was hypertension (diagnosed in 8 patients, 23%). 66% of patients quit smoking, achieving control of blood pressure in 95%, diabetes in 50%, weight in 76%, and dyslipidemia in 92%. 5.7% of patients suffered a thrombotic event and a significant percentage of patients showed a reduction in their SCORE. Conclusion: Our study shows the benefit of controlling cardiovascular risk factors through follow-up in a specialized consultation for patients with CML treated with TKI.

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
The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has changed the treatment paradigm of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), leading to a dramatic improvement of the outcome of CML patients, who now have a nearly normal life expectancy and, in some selected cases, the possibility of aiming for the more ambitious goal of treatment-free remission (TFR). However, the minority of patients who fail treatment and progress from chronic phase (CP) to accelerated phase (AP) and blast phase (BP) still have a relatively poor prognosis. The identification of predictive elements enabling a prompt recognition of patients at higher risk of progression still remains among the priorities in the field of CML management. Currently, the baseline risk is assessed using simple clinical and hematologic parameters, other than evaluating the presence of additional chromosomal abnormalities (ACAs), especially those at "high-risk". Beyond the onset, a re-evaluation of the risk status is mandatory, monitoring the response to TKI treatment. Moreover, novel critical insights are emerging into the role of genomic factors, present at diagnosis or evolving on therapy. This review presents the current knowledge regarding prognostic factors in CML and their potential role for an improved risk classification and a subsequent enhancement of therapeutic decisions and disease management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become the mainstay of treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), but cardiovascular (CV) risk and exacerbation of underlying risk factors associated with TKIs have become widely debated. Real-world evidence reveals little application of CV risk factor screening or continued monitoring within UK CML management. This consensus paper presents practical recommendations to assist healthcare professionals in conducting CV screening/comorbidity management for patients receiving TKIs. METHODS We conducted a multidisciplinary panel meeting and two iterative surveys involving 10 CML specialists: five haematologists, two cardio-oncologists, one vascular surgeon, one haemato-oncology pharmacist and one specialist nurse practitioner. RESULTS The panel recommended that patients commencing second-/third-generation TKIs undergo formal CV risk assessment at baseline, with additional investigations and involvement of cardiologists/vascular surgeons for those with high CV risk. During treatment, patients should undergo CV monitoring, with the nature and frequency of testing dependent on TKI and baseline CV risk. For patients who develop CV adverse events, decision-making around TKI interruption, cessation or change should be multidisciplinary and balance CV and haematological risk. CONCLUSION The panel anticipates these recommendations will support healthcare professionals in implementing CV risk screening and monitoring, broadly and consistently, and thereby help optimise TKI treatment for CML.

Abstract
Life expectation of chronic myeloid leukemia patients in the tyrosine kinase inhibitors era is almost equal to that of healthy subjects. On the other hand, their long-term management must take into account a higher risk of adverse events, at least partly related to the treatment. Various studies reported a higher incidence of cardiovascular events in these patients. Clonal hematopoiesis is broadly considered a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Of note, the underlying physiopathological mechanisms connect clonal hematopoiesis with a global proinflammatory status, triggering a vicious circle in which the somatic mutations and inflammation feed each other. All this considered, we investigated the occurrence of clonal hematopoiesis in chronic myeloid leukemia patients developing a cardiovascular event under tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

Abstract
The therapeutic outcomes of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have improved dramatically since tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) became available in clinical practice. Life expectancy of patients with CML is now close to that of the general population. Patients with CML who achieve sustained deep molecular response may discontinue TKI therapy. However, most patients still require TKI therapy for long periods without sustained deep molecular response. Given the awareness of increased incidence of arterial occlusive events in patients on TKI therapy, the optimal TKI selection should be based on age, comorbidities, risk classification, and goals of treatment. Dose optimization of TKI therapy reduces the incidence of adverse events while maintaining efficacy in CML.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) since their approval. Although safe in general, TKIs carry concerns about cardiovascular adverse events. Hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are among the most common baseline comorbidities among CML patients. Guidelines for the management of the existing comorbidities or those related to TKI therapy are lacking. This paper will review hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia reported in CML patients or associated with TKI therapy and then propose a simple guide on their management.

Abstract
According to the WHO, cancer caused almost 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020, i.e., almost one in six deaths. Among the most common are breast, lung, colon and rectal and prostate cancers. Although the diagnosis is more perfect and spectrum of available drugs is large, there is a clear trend of an increase in cancer that ends fatally. A major advance in treatment was the introduction of gentler antineoplastics for targeted therapy-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Although they have undoubtedly revolutionized oncology and hematology, they have significant side effects and limited efficacy. In addition to the design of new TKIs with improved pharmacokinetic and safety profiles, and being more resistant to the development of drug resistance, high expectations are placed on the reformulation of TKIs into various drug delivery lipid-based nanosystems. This review provides an insight into the history of chemotherapy, a brief overview of the development of TKIs for the treatment of cancer and their mechanism of action and summarizes the results of the applications of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems, nanoemulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers used as drug delivery systems of TKIs obtained in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Cardio-oncology is a new multidisciplinary area of expertise that seeks to pre-emptively and proactively address cardiac complications that emerge during and following cancer therapy. Modern therapies including molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy have broadened the agents that can cause cardiac sequelae, often with complications arising within days to weeks of therapy. Several international guidelines have been developed for the acute monitoring of cardio-oncology side effects. However, none are specific to pediatrics. We have addressed this gap in the literature by undertaking a rigorous Delphi consensus approach across 11 domains of cardio-oncology care using an Australian and New Zealand expert group. The expert group consisted of pediatric and adult cardiologists and pediatric oncologists. This Delphi consensus provides an approach to perform risk and baseline assessment, screening, and follow-up, specific to the cancer therapeutic. This review is a useful tool for clinicians involved in the cardio-oncology care of pediatric oncology patients.

Cardiac Safety of Imatinib for the Treatment of COVID-19: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2022; 80:783-791.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Although previous studies support the clinical benefit of imatinib regarding respiratory status in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, potential cardiotoxicity may limit its clinical application. This study aimed to investigate the cardiac safety of imatinib in COVID-19. In the CounterCOVID study, 385 hospitalized hypoxemic patients with COVID-19 were randomly assigned to receive 10 days of oral imatinib or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Patients with a corrected QT interval (QTc) >500 ms or left ventricular ejection fraction <40% were excluded. Severe cardiac adverse events were monitored for 28 days or until death occurred. Electrocardiogram measurements and cardiac biomarkers were assessed repeatedly during the first 10 days. A total of 36 severe cardiac events occurred, with a similar incidence in both treatment groups. No differences were observed in the computer-generated Bazett, manually interpreted Bazett, or Fridericia-interpreted QTcs. No clinically relevant alterations in other electrocardiogram parameters or plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations were observed. Similar findings were observed in a subgroup of 72 patients admitted to the intensive care unit. In the univariate and multivariable linear mixed models, treatment with imatinib was not significantly associated with QT interval duration, hs-cTnT, or NT-proBNP levels. In conclusion, imatinib treatment did not result in more cardiac events, QT interval prolongation, or altered hs-cTnT or NT-proBNP levels. This suggests that treatment with imatinib is safe in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 with a QTc duration of less than 500 ms and left ventricular ejection fraction >40%.

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
The prognosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML-CP) in chronic phase has improved dramatically since the introduction of imatinib. In addition to imatinib, second- and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and a novel allosteric inhibitor, asciminib, are now available. During long-term TKI therapy, the optimal selection of TKI therapy for individual patients requires the understanding of specific patterns of toxicity profile to minimize chronic toxicity and the risk of adverse events, including pulmonary arterial hypertension, pleural effusion, and cardiovascular events. Given the high efficacy of TKI therapy, dose modifications of TKI therapy reduce the risk of toxicities and improves quality of life during therapy. In this review article, we summarize the characteristics and adverse event profile of each TKI and dose modifications in patients with CML-CP and discuss future perspectives in the treatment of CML-CP.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used in cancer treatment due to their effectiveness in cancer cell killing. However, an off-target of this agent limits its success. Cardiotoxicity-associated TKIs have been widely reported. Tyrosine kinase is involved in many regulatory processes in a cell, and it is involved in cancer formation. Recent evidence suggests the role of tyrosine kinase in cardiovascular calcification, specifically, the calcification of heart vessels and valves. Herein, we summarized the accumulating evidence of the crucial role of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) in cardiovascular calcification and provided the potential clinical implication of TKIs-related ectopic calcification. We found that RTKs, depending on the ligand and tissue, can induce or suppress cardiovascular calcification. Therefore, RTKs may have varying effects on ectopic calcification. Additionally, in the context of cardiovascular calcification, TKIs do not always relate to an unfavored outcome-they might offer benefits in some cases.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are prescribed for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some other cancers. The objective was to predict and rank TKI-related adverse events (AEs), including under-reported or preclinical AEs, using novel text mining. First, k-means clustering of 2575 clinical CML TKI abstracts separated TKIs by significant (p < 0.05) AE type: gastrointestinal (bosutinib); edema (imatinib); pulmonary (dasatinib); diabetes (nilotinib); cardiovascular (ponatinib). Next, we propose a novel cross-domain text mining method utilizing a knowledge graph, link prediction, and hub node network analysis to predict new relationships. Cross-domain text mining of 30+ million articles via SemNet predicted and ranked known and novel TKI AEs. Three physiology-based tiers were formed using unsupervised rank aggregation feature importance. Tier 1 ranked in the top 1%: hematology (anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypocellular marrow); glucose (diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome); iron (deficiency, overload, metabolism), cardiovascular (hypertension, heart failure, vascular dilation); thyroid (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, parathyroid). Tier 2 ranked in the top 5%: inflammation (chronic inflammatory disorder, autoimmune, periodontitis); kidney (glomerulonephritis, glomerulopathy, toxic nephropathy). Tier 3 ranked in the top 10%: gastrointestinal (bowel regulation, hepatitis, pancreatitis); neuromuscular (autonomia, neuropathy, muscle pain); others (secondary cancers, vitamin deficiency, edema). Results suggest proactive TKI patient AE surveillance levels: regular surveillance for tier 1, infrequent surveillance for tier 2, and symptom-based surveillance for tier 3.

Involvement of Rho-Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Kinase (ROCK) in BCR-ABL1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Cardiovascular Toxicity. JACC CardioOncol 2022; 4:371-383.

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.

Rapid decrease in eGFR with concomitant use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system inhibitors in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Int J Hematol 2022; 116:863-870.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, TKI-related chronic renal toxicity has been reported, particularly in patients with hypertension. We assessed whether incidental use of specific types of antihypertensive drugs, including renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system inhibitors (RAASis), affects the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during TKI treatment. We retrospectively analyzed all eGFR measurements during TKI treatment for 142 CML patients at Kyushu University Hospital, estimating the rate of eGFR change using a mixed-effects model. Overall, a significant interaction was found between the type of antihypertensive medication used and the yearly change in eGFR (P < 0.01), with RAASi users exhibiting the most rapid decrease in eGFR (- 5.5%/year). The analysis by TKI used showed that the interaction was significant only in imatinib and bosutinib users (P < 0.01 and P = 0.04, respectively). The yearly rate of eGFR decrease was the most notable in RAASi users, at - 5.7 (- 6.6, - 4.9) and - 10.1 (- 12.3, - 7.9) for imatinib and bosutinib users, respectively. Our findings indicate that eGFR should be carefully monitored in patients taking these TKIs.

Abstract
Significant progress has been achieved in treating patients with onco-hematological diseases, including chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This is primarily associated with the development of targeted therapy involving tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, dasatinib, and ponatinib. Along with the increased survival of patients with CML, special attention has recently been paid to cardiovascular complications in CML patients due to the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the general population and the toxicity profile of targeted drugs. This article presents the strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in CML patients treated with TKIs. We discuss the components of cardiovascular risk in CML patients and the findings of current studies. Current data confirm the increased cardiovascular risk in the CML population compared to the general population, which necessitates the widespread introduction of cardiovascular prevention strategies in CML patients. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TKIs on the cardiovascular system are discussed. We propose two main approaches in the strategy of cardiovascular risk prevention in patients with CML, namely, before the start of TKI administration and during TKI treatment. This article presents the diagnostic assessment before prescribing TKIs, as well as while monitoring TKI therapy, and discusses the features of the choice of TKIs depending on patients’ general and cardiovascular comorbidity. Emphasis is placed on the risk stratification in patients with CML following general population algorithms, lifestyle modifications, and statin therapy for achieving the target levels of cardiovascular indicators. We also discuss unsolved questions in the current clinical guidelines and ways to further develop a cardiovascular risk-reducing strategy for CML patients.

Abstract
Background Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a haematological malignancy characterised by the translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), resulting in a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Globally, overall survival of blast crisis phase (BC) CML is one year. Newer tyrosine kinase inhibitors and allogeneic stem cell transplantation offer remission; however, refractory and relapsed disease remain the biggest challenges. Objective In South Africa, literature is lacking on BC-CML. This study aimed to determine the disease characteristics and overall survival in South Africa. Methods This retrospective, laboratory-based study reviewed all new BC-CML diagnoses via flow cytometry at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, between April 2016 and October 2019. BC-CML was defined as the presence of > 20% blasts with a CML history or the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene (p210/p190) in the appropriate clinical or pathological context. Survival outcomes were inferred from clinical and laboratory data. Results Twenty-two new cases of BC-CML were diagnosed (median age: 34 years). There were 20 (91%) cases with the fusion transcripts p210 and two (9%) cases with p190 BCRABL1. For blast lineage, 14 cases were myeloid (63.6%), six were lymphoid (27.3%), and two were ambiguous (9.1%). There was a 72.7% mortality (16 cases); sepsis, refractory and relapsed disease were the major causes. Patients who achieved remission had lower blast percentages, simple karyotypes, and a trend towards higher white cell and platelet counts at presentation. Conclusion Optimised management of early-stage CML, prevention and aggressive management of sepsis, with advocation for newer therapies are needed to improve the overall survival of BC-CML in South Africa.

Abstract
The most recent two decades have seen tremendous progress in the understanding and treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, a disease defined by the characteristic Philadelphia chromosome and the ensuing BCR::ABL fusion protein. However, the biology of the disease extends beyond the Philadelphia chromosome into a nebulous arena of chromosomal and genetic instability, which makes it a genetically heterogeneous disease. The BCR::ABL oncoprotein creates a fertile backdrop for oxidative damage to the DNA, along with impairment of genetic surveillance and the favoring of imprecise error-prone DNA repair pathways. These factors lead to growing chromosomal instability, manifested as additional chromosomal abnormalities along with other genetic aberrations. This worsens with disease progression to accelerated and blast phase, and modulates responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Treatment options that target the genetic aberrations that mitigate chromosome instability might be a potential area for research in patients with advanced phase CML.

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
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of BCR-ABL1 transcript type on outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were systematically searched for relevant studies. Outcomes assessed were: major molecular response (MMR) at 6, 12, 18 and 60 months, deep molecular response (DMR) at 6, 12, 18 and 60 months, event-free survival (EFS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-free remission (TFR). Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated and pooled using a random effect model. RESULTS A total of 16 retrospective cohort studies involving 5,411 patients were included in this study. Compared with e13a2 transcripts, there was a statistically significant advantage for patients with e14a2 (alone or with co-expressed e13a2) in terms of MMR and DMR at 6, 12 and 18 months. This benefit was sustained up to 5 years for patients with e14a2 transcripts (OR 1.60, 1.23-2.07 and 2.21, 1.71-2.87, respectively), but not for patients with both transcripts. The expression of e14a2 also improved EFS (HR 0.71, 0.53-0.94) and OS (HR 0.76, 0.57-1.00) throughout treatment period. Importantly, having e14a2 transcripts were associated with a higher rate of TFR (OR 2.94, 1.70-5.08) in CML patients attempting TKI discontinuation. Bayesian network meta-analysis showed that e14a2 had the highest probability to be the most favorable transcript type for all outcomes, followed by both and e13a2. CONCLUSIONS The expression of e14a2 had a positive impact on MMR, DMR, EFS, OS and TFR. We suggest that in the future, the e14a2 transcript can be added to the list of prognostic factors to guide clinical decisions in treating CML.

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
Background
Myocardial Ischemia with No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (MINOCA) is a common cause of type 2 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which requires careful differential diagnosis. Coronary artery spasm (CAS) syndrome is one etiology that can lead to MINOCA. Nilotinib, a targeted treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), has been reported to be related with increased risk of adverse vascular events.
Case presentation
A 67-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital with acute chest pain. He had a past medical history of CML and a history of treatment with nilotinib for 12 months. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed no significant stenosis. Since the onset of angina was generally in the early morning, and ECG and echocardiography suggested right coronary artery (RCA) disease, an ergonovine provocation test was performed to confirm the diagnosis of CAS. After intracoronary administration of ergonovine, middle and distal RCA showed over 90% vasoconstriction. Nilotinib related MINOCA, CAS and CML were diagnosed. Lifestyle changes (cessation of smoking), anti-spasmodics, statin treatment and adjustment of the nilotinib dose (from 200 mg bid, to 150 mg bid) were recommended for this patient. Six-month’s follow-up showed good recovery with no onsets of angina.
Conclusions
Physicians should be vigilant to adverse vascular events when treating patients who have been prescribed nilotinib. It is suggested that in patients with MINOCA who have a history of treatment with nilotinib, CAS-induced MINOCA should be included in the differential diagnosis. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanism and to find better management.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, continued use of these inhibitors has contributed to the increase in clinical resistance and the persistence of resistant leukemic stem cells (LSCs). So, there is an urgent need to introduce additional targeted and selective therapies to eradicate quiescent LSCs, and to avoid the relapse and disease progression. Here, we focused on emerging BCR-ABL targeted and non-BCR-ABL targeted drugs employed in clinical trials and on alternative CML treatments, including antioxidants, oncolytic virus, engineered exosomes, and natural products obtained from marine organisms that could pave the way for new therapeutic approaches for CML patients.

Abstract
Background The phase 2 PACE (Ponatinib Ph+ ALL and CML Evaluation) trial of ponatinib showed robust long-term benefit in relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia; arterial occlusive events (AOEs) occurred in ≥ 25% of patients based on investigator reporting. However, AOE rates vary depending on the definitions and reporting approach used. Methods To better understand clinically relevant AOEs with ponatinib, an independent cardiovascular adjudication committee reviewed 5-year AOE data from the PACE trial according to a charter-defined process and standardized event definitions. Results A total of 449 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) received ponatinib (median age 59 y; 47% female; 93% ≥ 2 prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); median follow-up, 37.3 months). The adjudicated AOE rate (17%) was lower than the non-adjudicated rate (i.e., rate before adjudication; 25%). The only adjudicated AOE in > 2% of patients was peripheral arterial occlusive disease (4%). Exposure-adjusted incidence of newly occurring adjudicated AOEs decreased over time. Patients with multiple baseline cardiovascular risk factors had higher adjudicated AOE rates than those without risk factors.
Conclusions This independent adjudication study identified lower AOE rates than previously reported, suggesting earlier overestimation that may inaccurately reflect AOE risk with ponatinib. This trial was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01207440 on September 23, 2010 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01207440).

Abstract
Beginning with imatinib and now spanning 6 oral, highly active, and mostly safe agents, the development of specific targeted therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has created a new world featuring chronic maintenance chemotherapy for all treated as such, treatment-free remission, and functional cure after prolonged deep remission in a subset. As a result comes a necessary shift in focus from acute to chronic toxicity, increasing attention to patient comorbidities, and critical thinking around specific adverse events such as metabolic, cardiovascular, and cardiopulmonary effects, which vary from agent to agent. This review aims to pull together the state of the art of managing the "C" in CML-a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm treated at present over many years with oral BCR-ABL-targeted agents in a population whose overall health can be complex and potentially affected by disease and therapy-and determine how we can better manage a highly treatable and increasingly curable cancer.

Abstract
Protein kinase inhibitors experienced their advent in the 2000s. Their market introduction made it possible to constitute a class of targeted therapies administered orally. This name was chosen to mark a break with conventional chemotherapy drugs, but it is important to stress that these are multi-target drugs with complex affinity profiles. Adverse effects can be explained by direct interactions with their targets of interest, chosen for their indications (on-target) but also interactions with other targets (off-target). The adverse effect profiles of these drugs are therefore varied and it is possible to identify common profiles related to inhibitions of common targets. Identification of these targets has improved the global understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset of adverse drug reactions as well as of the related diseases, and makes it possible to predict the adverse effect profile of new protein kinase inhibitors based on their affinities. In this review, we describe the main adverse drug reactions associated with protein kinase inhibitors, their frequency and their plausible mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors have changed the natural history of chronic myeloid leukaemia in such a way that patients with adequate access to these agents, who are properly managed, and who respond well to this treatment can expect a near-normal life expectancy. Achieving this goal requires an adequate understanding of the patient's treatment goals, careful monitoring for the achievement of optimal response hallmarks, implementation of proper interventions according to the attainment of such endpoints, adequate recognition and management of adverse events, and acknowledgment of the relevance of comorbidities. Treatment with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, once considered lifelong, has become terminable for at least some patients, and promising new agents are emerging for those whose disease does not respond to any of the multiple therapeutic options currently available. If these advances reach all patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia, cure might eventually become a reality in most instances.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss the long-term view of treating and following pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) - with review of what can be done to prevent, monitor for, and treat complications of therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Pediatric, adolescent, and young adult oncology patients, including those with ALL, are living longer with higher overall survival rates as treatments and supportive care for these patients continue to improve. These patients are burdened by the risk of significant health and quality of life consequences as a result of their treatment.. For these patients, the late effects of treatment can be life-threatening, such as secondary cancers or cardiotoxicity, or life-altering with respect to quality of life. The goal of this paper is to review the current literature, research, and surveillance guidelines regarding the late effects of ALL therapy, to outline what can be done to mitigate the toxic effects of oncology treatment, and to extend life expectancy and improve quality of life for our patients. We review risk factors and interventions available to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, secondary malignancies, endocrine complications (obesity, osteoporosis, infertility, and premature menopause), cognitive effects, and effects on functioning and mortality.

Abstract
Simple Summary Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective in the treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are known to be resistant to TKIs. As a result, the application of immunotherapies against LSCs may cure CML. Abstract Introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has improved the prognosis of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and treatment-free remission (TFR) is now a treatment goal. However, about half of the patients experience molecular relapse after cessation of TKIs, suggesting that leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are resistant to TKIs. Eradication of the remaining LSCs using immunotherapies including interferon-alpha, vaccinations, CAR-T cells, and other drugs would be a key strategy to achieve TFR.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a malignancy of bone marrow that affects white blood cells. There is strong evidence that disease progression, treatment responses, and overall clinical outcomes of CML patients are influenced by the accumulation of other genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, rather than only the BCR/ABL1 oncoprotein. Both genetic and epigenetic factors influence the efficacy of CML treatment strategies. Targeted medicines known as tyrosine-kinase inhibitors have dramatically improved long-term survival rates in CML patients during the previous 2 decades. When compared to earlier chemotherapy treatments, these drugs have revolutionized CML treatment and allowed most people to live longer lives. Although epigenetic inhibitors' activity is disrupted in many cancers, including CML, but when combined with TKI, they may offer potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of CML cells. The epigenetics of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and resistance to them is being studied, with a particular focus on imatinib, which is used to treat CML. In addition, the use of epigenetic drugs in conjunction with TKIs has been discussed. Resistance to TKIs is still a problem in curing the disease, necessitating the development of new therapies. This study focused on epigenetic pathways involved in CML pathogenesis and tumor cell resistance to TKIs, both of which contribute to leukemic clone breakout and proliferation.

Abstract
We analyzed demographic characteristics, comorbidities and patterns of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in a cohort of 3,633 incident cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) identified across France from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2014. Patients were identified through a specific algorithm in the French Healthcare Data System and were followed up 12 months after inclusion in the cohort. The estimated incidence rate of CML for this period in France was 1.37 per 100,000 person-years (95% Confidence Interval 1.36-1.38) and was higher in men, with a peak at age 75-79 years. At baseline, the median age of the cohort was 60 years (Inter Quartile Range 47-71), the Male/Female ratio was 1.2, and 25% presented with another comorbidity. Imatinib was the first-line TKI for 77.6% of the patients, followed by nilotinib (18.3%) and dasatinib (4.1%). Twelve months after initiation, 86% of the patients remained on the same TKI, 13% switched to another TKI and 1% received subsequently three different TKIs. During the follow-up, 23% discontinued and 52% suspended the TKI. Patients received a mean of 16.7 (Standard Deviation (SD) 9.6) medications over the first year of follow-up, and a mean of 2.7 (SD 2.3) concomitant medications on the day of first TKI prescription: 24.4% of the patients received allopurinol, 6.4% proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and 6.5% antihypertensive agents. When treatment with TKI was initiated, incident CML patients presented with comorbidities and polypharmacy, which merits attention because of the persistent use of these concomitant drugs and the potential increased risk of drug-drug interactions.

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.
