Results with Imatinib in Early CP CML – The IRIS Trial at 8-Years
• 304 (55%) patients on imatinib on study• Projected results at 8 years:
–CCyR 83%• 82 (18%) lost CCyR, 15 (3%) progressed to
AP/BP
–Event-free survival 81%–Transformation-free survival 92%
• If MMR at 12 mo: 100%
–Survival 85% (93% CML-related)• Annual rate of transformation: 1.5%, 2.8%,
1.8%, 0.9%, 0.5%, 0%, 0%, & 0.4%

Adherence Is the Most Important Factor Contributing to Molecular Responses
Marin D et al. J Clin Oncol. 2010;28(14):2381-2388.
Adherence monitored over a period of 3 months using a microelectronic monitoring device in the imatinib bottle cap. Patients were not aware of the device.

How Do You Choose The Second Generation TKIs
• Disease characteristics- AP/BP: favor dasatinib (?) and combinations- chronic: see below
• Mutations-T315I → none- nilotinib IC50 > 150nM → avoid- dasatinib IC50 > 3nM → avoid
• Patient Hx- Hypertension, CHF, lung problems, COPD → avoid dasatinib, consider bosutinib/nilotinib- Severe diabetes, pancreatitis Hx, atherosclerosis → avoid nilotinib, consider bosutinib/dasatinib - QTc problems → be cautious with all (?)

Allo SCT. Second or Third Salvage?• Imatinib failure in AP, BP: use new TKI as bridge to MRD, then
alloSCT ASAP
• T315I mutation in any CML phase: use AP 24534, other T315I inhibitors, HHT, HU, others as bridge to MRD, then allo SCT ASAP
• Imatinib failure in CP:
– if IC50 , clonal evolution, or no major CG in 12 mos allo SCT (risk should also be reasonable: young, good match)
– If not TKI until failure
• Age 70 yrs or if poor match: may decide to forgo curative allo SCT option for several years of CML control;
• Young patient (?)
• Financial considerations
Monitoring Patients with CML While on TKI Therapy
• Adequate monitoring required to optimize outcome / Not too much, not too little
• CCyR is associated with survival benefit
• MMR is associated with durable CCyR and may therefore decrease probability of relapse
• CMR offers hope for treatment discontinuation (clinical trials only)
• Results should be interpreted in the context of alternative options
• Not failure criterion / QPCR in CCyR
CML in 2013• Imatinib,nilotinib,dasatinib are standard
frontline Rx (except p190 CML)• Dose optimization and adequate
monitoring• Sub-optimal response dose imatinib (400mg → 800mg)– New TKI
• Failure– Dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib– Allogeneic SCT
• T315I: ponatinib, omacetaxine
