Aim This study was carried out to assess the minimal residual disease in Tunisian patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in routine clinical practice, to recognize potentially eligible carrier for treatment discontinuation, based on a molecular response (MR). Patients and Methods A retrospective study was carried out in the Hospital University of Sfax, south of Tunisia from January 2016 to October 2020, including all CML patients in the chronic phase at diagnosis, treated with TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) for a minimum duration of 6 months. Quantitative assessment of the BCR-ABL transcript was performed using the Cepheid Xpert BCR-ABL ultra-assay. Molecular response and outcome were evaluated, according to the European Leukemia Net guidelines. Results A total of 162 CML patients were carried out. The median age was 50 years, the sex ratio M/F was 1.62. The rate of cumulative EMR; MMR and DMR was 80.8%; 73.8% and 55.9% respectively. According to the ELN criteria, 141 CML patients were evaluable. Optimal, suboptimal response and failure were noted in 81 (57.4%), 33(23.4%), and 27(19.1%) patients, respectively. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 96.3% and 85%. Risk factors for an event (death/progression) were lack of EMR, MMR, and DMR (P < 0.05). Among 149 patients with sustained DMR; 14 (8.6%) CML patients have discontinued TKI therapy. Conclusion Despite the limit of our study (duration and size), the available real-life molecular responses with TKI therapy should be considered to identify potentially CML patients eligible for discontinuation of TKI therapy.

Death Probability

Abstract Background. The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have diminished death probability and have changed the disease course. Achievement of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and major molecular response (MMR) are serve as warranties for freedom of progression and death from CML. There are many of CML patients are needed to change of initial TKI therapy with choice of the most efficient and safe drug for continuous life-long therapy to reach the optimal results of CML treatment. The newest of registered TKI drug in Russia is Bosutinib which has dual BCR-ABL and SRC kinase inhibitory activity and had showed good tolerability and efficacy in case of other TKIs resistance or intolerance. Aim. To analyze of own Bosutinib experience in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia with other TKIs resistance or intolerance and to make comparison with clinical trial results. Materials and methods. Clinical trials results from peer-reviewed journals. Outpatients charts of 51 patients (25 male and 26 females) with CML. Disease phase at the moment of Bosutinib therapy initiation was as follows: chronic - 37; acceleration - 8, blastic - 6. Bosutinib was used in the next lines of TKI therapy: second - 10; third - 18; fourth - 23. The indications for Bosutinib therapy were: intolerance to previous TKI - 21; resistance to previous TKI - 30. Results. Median of therapy duration was 6 months (1-50 months). The adverse events and tolerability of Bosutinib were similar with clinical trials data. The treatment was withdrawn by the adverse event only in 5 (10%) patients. The rates of the responses in the whole group of patients were as follows: CHR - 88%, stable in 76%; CCyR - 39%, stable in 37%, MMR - 31% and was 25% at the last follow-up. The Bosutinib efficacy in real life settings was slightly higher than clinical trials data. The factors influencing treatment responses were: disease phase, cause of switching to Bosutinib, line of therapy and presence and kind of BCR-ABL mutations, Therapy was continued in 22 (43%) patients, most them achieved stable optimal treatment response (CCyR and MMR). Conclusions. Bosutinib is a real alternative to other tyrosine kinase inhibitors and has its own mechanism of action and adverse events profile. The use of Bosutinib in real life clinical practice settings showed its efficacy and tolerability and could serve as base for recommendation to apply Bosutinib in hematology practice in Russia. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

First Line Treatment

The function of protein kinases is to transfer a γ-phosphate group from ATP to serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues. Many of these kinases are linked to the initiation and development of human cancer. The recent development of small molecule kinase inhibitors for the treatment of different types of cancer in clinical therapy has proven successful. Significantly, after the G-protein-coupled receptors, protein kinases are the second most active category of drug targets. Imatinib mesylate was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. Imatinib induces appropriate responses in ~60% of patients; with ~20% discontinuing therapy due to sensitivity, and ~20% developing drug resistance. The introduction of newer TKIs such as, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib has provided patients with multiple options. Such agents are more active, have specific profiles of side effects and are more likely to reach the necessary milestones. First-line treatment decisions must be focused on CML risk, patient preferences and comorbidities. Given the excellent result, half of the patients eventually fail to seek first-line treatment (due to discomfort or resistance), with many of them needing a third or even further therapy lines. In the present review, we will address the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia.
