Abstract:
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) originates from a hematopoietic stem cell carrying the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome and oncogenic BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. The first tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib was introduced to clinical practice 10 years ago, and it radically improved the outcome of CML patients. The rare patients that are imatinib resistant or intolerant can be treated with second generation TKIs such as dasatinib or nilotinib. As second generation TKIs appear to be more effective than imatinib and well tolerated, they may become standard first-line treatment for CML. The major future aim in CML is curative drug therapy.Keywords:

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the formation of the Philadelphia chromosome and oncogenic signaling by the resulting Bcr-Abl fusion protein. Understanding the molecular basis of CML has led to the development of highly effective targeted therapies that block Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase activity. Imatinib, the current first-line therapy for CML, induces durable treatment responses in most patients. However, patients may develop imatinib resistance, which is often due to BCR-ABL mutations. With the availability of second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors, an effective therapeutic option other than stem cell transplantation is available following imatinib failure. Randomized trial data suggest that dasatinib treatment is superior to imatinib dose escalation in patients with imatinib resistance. Nilotinib, a recently approved analogue of imatinib, has also demonstrated encouraging treatment responses in patients with imatinib-resistant CML. Other agents (including bosutinib and INNO-406) are in clinical development. With the potential availability of multiple treatment options for patients with CML, it may be possible to tailor treatment according to individual patient or disease characteristics, for example, BCR-ABL mutations. Future CML treatment may involve combination strategies. Overall, targeted agents have significantly improved the prognosis of patients diagnosed with CML.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy has dramatically changed in the last decade due to the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) - imatinib, nilotinib and dasatinib. Despite the significant prolongation of overall survival of CML patients there is still room for improvement. Approximately 20-25% of patients initially treated with imatinib will need alternative therapy, due to drug resistance which is often caused by the appearance of clones expressing mutant forms of BCR-ABL. Second generation TKIs dasatinib and nilotinib have shown promising results in imatinibresistant or intolerant CML patients, but are not active against CML clones with highly resistant T315I mutation. In recent years special attention is placed on small pool of leukemic stem cells which may contribute to the persistence of the leukemia. This article provides a review of preclinical and clinical data concerning the most promising new directions in CML treatment, with special emphasis on new drugs active in T315I mutation and compounds affecting leukemic stem cells.

Dasatinib: the emerging evidence of its potential in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia Sonya HaslamCore Medical Publishing, Mere House, Brook Street, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 8GP, UKIntroduction: Current therapy options for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) include conventional chemotherapy, allogeneic stem cell transplant, interferon-alfa, and imatinib mesylate, which has recently achieved gold standard status. Although the majority of patients initially respond well to treatment with imatinib, wider clinical experience with this drug has resulted in the development of imatinib resistance being increasingly documented. There is therefore an unmet medical need for novel therapies to override imatinib resistance in CML.Aims: This review summarizes the emerging evidence for the potential use of dasatinib in the treatment of imatinib-resistant CML. Disease and treatment: Dasatinib is a novel small molecule that has shown potent antileukemic activity in imatinib-resistant cell lines, malignant marrow cells isolated from patients with imatinib-resistant CML, and in mouse xenograft models of imatinib-resistant CML. Preliminary data from an initial phase I dose escalation trial have been encouraging, indicating that dasatinib is generally well tolerated and produces hematologic and cytogenetic responses in patients with imatinib-resistant CML in all phases of the disease. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has not yet been reached, and dose escalation continues to determine the dose range that yields optimal results.Profile: Although dasatinib is still in the early stages of development, the potential impact of this molecule on the treatment of CML could be revolutionary, not only providing a much needed treatment option for patients with imatinib-resistant CML, but also, combined with imatinib, could possibly prove useful in delaying the onset of resistance to treatment. Furthermore, combined with other agents active in CML, dasatinib could have potential utility in purging residual leukemic cells in patients whose disease is controlled by imatinib.Key words: dasatinib, BMS-354825, BCR-ABL, SRC-ABL kinase inhibitor, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), imatinib resistance, treatment,evidence, outcomes

The therapeutic landscape of chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) has truly been revolutionized with the advent of BCR–ABL1 tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. First-line therapy with the TKI imatinib has produced high rates of remissions among treatment-naive patients, as well as patients previously treated with interferon. However, imatinib resistance and intolerance remain significant clinical challenges. Dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib and ponatinib are more recently developed TKIs that have been shown to be very effective as second- or later-line treatment for CML after imatinib failure. Dasatinib and nilotinib are also approved for use in newly diagnosed patients with CP-CML, and produce faster responses when compared with first-line imatinib. Resistance or intolerance can occur with any of the currently available TKIs, necessitating a change to an alternative TKI or consideration of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Treatment options and outcomes for patients whose first-line therapy has failed are reviewed in depth in this article.

Management strategies for patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have changed dramatically since the introduction of imatinib into clinical trials in 1998. Imatinib is generally accepted, at present, to be the most appropriate initial therapy for newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML; however, a proportion of patients will not respond adequately. Many of these patients may benefit from alternative treatment strategies, including second- and third-generation BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Additionally, with continued improvements in molecular monitoring, it is much more clinically routine to measure ongoing treatment efficacy or characterize pending disease relapse via molecular analysis. The challenge is to now combine molecular monitoring information with timely treatment decisions to achieve the best possible outcomes. Additionally, unanswered questions about HSCT remain, and include (1) What is the role of allogeneic HSCT in CML? (2) What type of transplant, reduced-intensity or myeloablative, should be performed? The goal of this article is to provide an overview of where we stand in the treatment of CML in 2008.

Since the development of imatinib mesylate, an ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has made remarkable progress. Second and third generation TKIs have also become available for clinical use. Considering the improved treatment outcomes, chronic phase CML has become manageable, with a low mortality rate. Furthermore, clinical trials such as STIM and DADI have shown that TKI can be discontinued safely in certain CML patients. However, some CML patients, especially those in accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP), require more aggressive forms of treatment such as allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Next-generation sequencing technology and other novel technologies allow us to investigate the cause of CML and the molecular biology of progression to AP/BP in more detail. Based on these data, an increasing number of novel therapeutic agents for CML are being developed, which will improve the prognosis of CML.

More than 10 years have passed since imatinib as a first developed BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) introduced in treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In globally, there are tremendous numbers of patients on imatinib therapy. Based upon randomized trials comparing second generation TKIs such as dasatinib and nilotinib versus imatinib, both TKIs produce faster and deeper response than imatinib and they can be selected as first-line therapy for newly diagnosed chronic phase of CML (CP-CML) as imatinib. Bosutinib is a potent for imatinib resistant/intolerant CP-CML and can be used as second or third-line therapy. Ponatinib is the only clinically available TKI that has activity against the T315 mutation that is resistant to all other TKIs. Currently, a choice among these potent TKIs should take into consideration the drug side effect profiles and the patient's comorbidities.

The clinical outcome for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) has changed dramatically in the past 15 years. This has been due to the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), compounds that inhibit the activity of the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 protein. Imatinib was the first TKI developed for CML, and it led to high rates of complete cytogenetic responses and improved survival for patients with this disease. However, approximately 35% of patients in chronic phase treated with imatinib will develop resistance or intolerance to this drug. The recognition of the problem of imatinib failure led to the design of second-generation TKI (dasatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib). These drugs are highly active in the scenario of imatinib resistance or intolerance. More recently, both nilotinib and dasatinib were approved for frontline use in patients with chronic phase CML. Ponatinib represents the last generation of TKI, and this drug has been developed with the aim of targeting a specific BCR-ABL1 mutation (T315I), which arises in the setting of prolonged TKI therapy and leads to resistance to all commercially available TKI. Parallel to the development of specific drugs for treating CML, major advances were made in the field of disease monitoring and standardization of response criteria. In this review, we summarize how therapy with TKI for CML has evolved during the last decade.

BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) dramatically improve the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) prognosis, and most CML patients in the chronic phase are now able to lead lives that are comparable to those of healthy individuals. However, the high cost and adverse effects associated with long-term treatment remain issues in the treatment of CML patients. At the setout, a clinical study involving the discontinuation of imatinib was conducted in France. Thereafter, several TKI stop studies of first-generation (imatinib) and second-generation TKIs (dasatinib, nilotinib) have shown an earlier response than that with imatinib. These studies revealed that almost 50% of CML patients who were treated with TKIs and achieved a certain period of sustained deep molecular response can stop TKIs safely and obtain sustained treatment-free remission (TFR). Adverse effects of TKI withdrawal and predicting factors for successful discontinuation including immunity are gradually becoming clear via these studies. For superior CML treatment, several promising agents, including ABL001, are being developed. I trust that these efforts will enable CML patients to maintain TFR in the near future.
