Introduction. BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors are currently used to successfully treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Drug therapy is carried out in a continuous daily mode throughout the patient’s life. Treatment with this group of drugs is associated with specific dermatological adverse events (dAE), which can lead to a change in the regimen of effective, vital therapy for CML patients.Purpose. To study the characteristics of dermatological adverse events, the severity and influence on the quality of life of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors.Patients and methods. The observational study included 93 patients. The clinical manifestations of dAE, their severity were evaluated, their photographs and pathomorphological studies of skin biopsy samples were performed, cases of dose reduction or drug withdrawal due to dAE were recorded. The quality of life of patients with dAE was determined based on the assessment of the dermatological index of quality of life.Results. Imatinib therapy was accompanied by a maculopapular rash in 43.3 % of patients, nilotinib caused follicular keratosis in 12.9 % of patients. In 3.2 % of patients, dasatinib caused hyperpigmentation, in 2.2 % of patients lichenoid rashes of the II degree occurred during treatment with bosutinib. Ponatinib treatment was followed by dAE in 9.7 % of patients. All dAE have an impact on the quality of life of patients, but the maculopapular rash and dyskeratotic changes are most pronounced. In a pathomorphological study, these dAE have specific features corresponding to immuno-mediated dermatitis.Conclusions. The most frequent and pronounced dAE that significantly affect the quality of life of patients with CML are a maculopapular rash and dyskeratotic skin changes: psoriasiform and lichenoid dermatitis. Clinical and pathomorphological characteristics of skin reactions make it possible in the future to determine effective methods of supportive therapy for dAE.

Abstract Background and Objectives: In clinical, conventional Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) including imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib are remarkably effective forms of therapy for certain types of solid cancers as well as Ph+ leukemias. In addition to the BCR-ABL target oncoprotein, they also inhibit certain off-target kinases (Eph, c-KIT, TEC, SRC). Some TKIs affect immune reconstitution as well as the proliferation, function, and activation of T cells. Certain TKIs have been known to have an especially strong effect on CD4+CD25+ T cells, also known as regulatory T Cells (Tregs). There is currently a gap in the clinical data available about on this area of study. Patients and methods: In this study, we collected 108 Peripheral Blood (PB) samples from patients in the Chronic Phase (CP) of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) at the time of diagnosis (n=31) and also the TKIs treatment. Groups consisted of individuals treated with TKIs like imatinib (n=12), dasatinib (n=11) and nilotinib (n=8), as well as healthy controls (n=15). We evaluated the quantity and function of Tregs from patients in the CML-CP at the time of diagnosis and during treatment with TKIs. Results: It was found that at diagnosis, patients with CML had a similar proportion and absolute number of lymphocytes compared to healthy donors. After TKIs treatment, proportions and absolute numbers of total T cellsACD4+ T cells and Tregs decreased at different degree. Moreover, thedecrease would be more and more significant as time goes on.Our results indicated that although these three TKIs show similar inhibitory effects in the proportion and number of Tregs in vivo, they have differential effects on the functions of Tregs in vitro. The proliferation, suppression, and expression of suppressive cytokines (IL-4,IL-10 and TGF-β) as well as suppression-associated molecules (FoxP3, GITR, and CTLA-4) of Tregs decreased in groups treated with imatinib and dasatinib. The decrease was not significant in the nilotinib-treated group. Conclusions: The results showed that imatinib and dasatinib have stronger inhibitory roles than nilotinib when it comes to regulating the number and functions of Tregs. These findings can be used to argue in favor of calls for personalized treatment and follow-up of CML patients during TKIs treatment, particularly for those patients who received combination therapy with allo-transplantation and post-transplant TKIs.

Background: Off-target effects in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are associated with cardiovascular toxicity. Hypertension represents an important cardiovascular complication and, if not appropriately managed, can contribute to developing thrombotic events. Third-generation TKI ponatinib is associated with hypertension development, and its use is more restricted than in the past. Few data are reported for second-generation TKI, nilotinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib. The aim of this article was to evaluate with a systematic review and meta-analysis the real incidence of hypertension in CML patients treated with second- or third-generation TKI.Methods: The PubMed database, Web of Science, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched for studies published between January 1, 2000, and January 30, 2021; the following terms were entered in the database queries: Cardiovascular, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, CML, Tyrosine kinases inhibitor, TKI, and Hypertension. The study was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.Results: A pooled analysis of hypertension incidence was 10% for all new-generation TKI, with an even higher prevalence with ponatinib (17%). The comparison with the first-generation imatinib confirmed that nilotinib was associated with a significantly increased risk of hypertension (RR 2; 95% CI; 1.39-2.88, I2=0%, z=3.73, p=0.0002). The greatest risk was found with ponatinib (RR 9.21; 95% CI; 2.86-29.66, z=3.72, p=0.0002).Conclusion: Hypertension is a common cardiovascular complication in CML patients treated with second- or third-generation TKI.
