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

Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Hepatotoxicity Risk in Patients Receiving Nilotinib. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26113300. [PMID: 34072626 PMCID: PMC8198751 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26113300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Although nilotinib hepatotoxicity can cause severe clinical conditions and may alter treatment plans, risk factors affecting nilotinib-induced hepatotoxicity have not been investigated. This study aimed to elucidate the factors affecting nilotinib-induced hepatotoxicity. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed on patients using nilotinib from July of 2015 to June of 2020. We estimated the odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio from univariate and multivariate analyses, respectively. Several machine learning models were developed to predict risk factors of hepatotoxicity occurrence. The area under the curve (AUC) was analyzed to assess clinical performance. Results: Among 353 patients, the rate of patients with grade I or higher hepatotoxicity after nilotinib administration was 40.8%. Male patients and patients who received nilotinib at a dose of ≥300 mg had a 2.3-fold and a 3.5-fold increased risk for hepatotoxicity compared to female patients and compared with those who received <300 mg, respectively. H2 blocker use decreased hepatotoxicity by 11.6-fold. The area under the curve (AUC) values of machine learning methods ranged between 0.61–0.65 in this study. Conclusion: This study suggests that the use of H2 blockers was a reduced risk of nilotinib-induced hepatotoxicity, whereas male gender and a high dose were associated with increased hepatotoxicity.
