High BCR-ABL/GUS(IS) levels at diagnosis of chronic phase CML are associated with unfavorable responses to standard-dose imatinib
2017
Abstract Purpose: The approval of second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the first-line treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has generated an unmet need for baseline molecular parameters associated with inadequate imatinib responses. Experimental Design: We correlated BCR–ABL/GUSIS and BCR–ABL/ABL transcripts at diagnosis with the outcome—defined by the 2013 European LeukemiaNet recommendations—of 272 patients newly diagnosed with CML receiving imatinib 400 mg/daily. Applying receiver-operating characteristic curves, we defined BCR–ABL/GUSIS and BCR–ABL/ABL levels associated with lower probabilities of optimal response, failure-free (FFS), event-free (EFS), transform…

BCR-ABL1 Doubling-Times and Halving-Times May Predict CML Response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
2019
In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), successful treatment requires accurate molecular monitoring to evaluate disease response and provide timely interventions for patients failing to achieve the desired outcomes. We wanted to determine whether measuring BCR-ABL1 mRNA doubling-times (DTs) could distinguish inconsequential rises in the oncogene’s expression from resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Thus, we retrospectively examined BCR-ABL1 evolution in 305 chronic-phase CML patients receiving imatinib mesylate (IM) as a first line treatment. Patients were subdivided in two groups: those with a confirmed rise in BCR-ABL1 transcripts without MR3.0 loss and those failing IM. We found …
