Abstract Abstract 455 Introduction: Bosutinib (SKI-606) is an orally active, dual competitive inhibitor of the Src and Abl tyrosine kinases. The phase 3 BELA study compared bosutinib with imatinib in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1 to open-label oral bosutinib 500 mg/d (n = 250) or imatinib 400 mg/d (n = 252) and stratified by Sokal score risk group (low, medium, high) and geographical region. The primary efficacy endpoint was complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 12 mo in the intent-to-treat population. Key secondary and exploratory efficacy endpoints included major molecular response (MMR) at 12 mo, time to CCyR and MMR, duration of CCyR and MMR, time to and incidence of transformation to accelerated/blast phase (AP/BP) CML, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival. Safety analyses included all treated pts. Results: The median treatment duration was 19.3 mo for bosutinib and 19.5 mo for imatinib; 67% and 74% of pts, respectively, are still receiving therapy. The primary reason for discontinuation of bosutinib was toxicity (23%), while the primary reason for discontinuation of imatinib was disease progression (13%). Rates of CCyR and MMR are shown in the table. The rate of cumulative CCyR by 18 mo was 79% in both arms, and the cumulative rate of MMR by 18 mo was 55% in the bosutinib arm versus 45% in the imatinib arm. Median time to CCyR was faster for bosutinib versus imatinib (12.7 vs 24.6 wk); median time to MMR was also faster for bosutinib versus imatinib (36.9 vs 72.3 wk). Transformation to AP/BP CML while on treatment occurred in 4 (2%) pts on bosutinib and 13 (5%) pts on imatinib. On-study deaths from any cause occurred in 6 (2%) pts receiving bosutinib versus 13 (5%) pts receiving imatinib, and included 5 (2%) and 9 (4%) pts, respectively, who died due to CML progression. Median on-treatment EFS and overall survival were not yet reached for either arm. At 18 mo, the Kaplan-Meier estimates of EFS were 95% for bosutinib versus 91% for imatinib, and the estimates of overall survival were 99% versus 95%, respectively. Bosutinib was associated with higher incidences compared with imatinib of gastrointestinal events (diarrhea [69% vs 22%, respectively], vomiting [32% vs 14%], pyrexia [18% vs 10%], and abdominal pain [13% vs 7%]). In contrast, bosutinib was associated with lower incidences of edema (peripheral edema [4% vs 11%] and periorbital edema [1% vs 14%]) and musculoskeletal events (myalgia [5% vs 11%], muscle cramps [4% vs 22%], and bone pain [4% vs 10%]). Fewer pts on bosutinib experienced grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities of neutropenia (11% vs 24% with imatinib), while the incidences of grade 3/4 anemia and thrombocytopenia were similar between treatment arms (8% with anemia and 14% with thrombocytopenia). Grade 3/4 liver function test abnormalities occurred more frequently with bosutinib versus imatinib (increased alanine aminotransferase [23% vs 4%] and aspartate aminotransferase [12% vs 3%]). Although common with bosutinib, gastrointestinal events and liver function test abnormalities were typically transient, managed with dose modifications, and not life threatening. Conclusions: The study did not meet the primary endpoint (CCyR at 12 mo); early discontinuation of bosutinib due to adverse events may have contributed to this observed lack of difference. However, bosutinib did result in a higher rate of MMR at 12 mo, faster times to MMR and CCyR, fewer events of transformation to AP/BP CML, and fewer overall and CML-related deaths compared with imatinib, suggesting superiority of bosutinib in pts with newly diagnosed CP CML. In addition, the 18-mo estimates for both EFS and OS currently favor bosutinib. Bosutinib and imatinib were each associated with acceptable but distinct toxicity profiles. Based on these results, bosutinib may offer a new therapeutic option for pts with newly diagnosed CP CML. Minimum of 24 mo of follow-up will be presented for all pts.

Purpose Imatinib is remarkably effective in treating newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP). To date, most of the available data come from a single multicenter study in which some of the patients were censored for diverse reasons. Here, we report our experience in treating patients at a single institution in a setting where all events were recorded. Patients and Methods A total of 204 consecutive adult patients with newly diagnosed CML in CP received imatinib from June 2000 until August 2006. Response (hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular), progression-free survival (PFS) and survival were evaluated. Results At 5 years, cumulative incidences of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and major molecular response (MMR) were 82.7% and 50.1%, respectively. Estimated overall survival and PFS were 83.2% and 82.7%, respectively. By 5 years, 25% of patients had discontinued imatinib treatment because of an unsatisfactory response and/or toxicity. The 5-year probability of remaining in major cytogenetic response while still receiving imatinib was 62.7%. Patients achieving a CCyR at 1 year had a better PFS and overall survival than those failing to reach CCyR, but achieving a MMR conferred no further advantage. The identification of a kinase domain mutation was the only factor predicting for loss of CCyR. Conclusion Imatinib is highly effective in most patients with CML-CP; patients who respond are likely to live substantially longer than those treated with earlier therapies. Achieving CCyR correlated with PFS and overall survival, but achieving MMR had no further predictive value. However, approximately one third of patients still need better therapy.

Abstract Background: Total lymphocyte count (TLC) has been shown to correlate with outcomes in patients (pts) with acute leukemia. The clinical correlation to TLC in pts with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) who were treated with a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) is unclear. Methods: Lymphocyte data in pts with newly diagnosed CML-CP who were enrolled in consecutive or parallel clinical trials with front-line imatinib (IM), nilotinib (Nilo), or dasatinib (Dasa) were collected at the time of diagnosis, and 3 and 6 months (M) after the start of TKI. Relative lymphocytrosis (RLC) was defined as lymphocyte >150% at 3 or 6M compared with baseline at diagnosis. Absolute lymphocytosis (ALC) was defined as lymphocyte > 4,000 /µL at 3 or 6M after the start of TKI. Pts were assessed for response, overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), transformation-free survival (TFS), and failure-free survival (FFS) based on ALC and RLC. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate OS, EFS, TFS, and FFS. A log-rank test and Cox regression were used for univariate (UVA) and multivariate analysis (MVA), respectively. Results: A total of 483 pts were enrolled in this study: 271 in IM, 105 in Nilo, and 107 in Dasa. Patient characteristics and outcomes are summarized in Table 1. Median age at diagnosis was 48 years, and median follow-up was 85M and ongoing (5-154+). Time from diagnosis to start of TKI, Sokal risk score, and ALC at baseline between groups did not differ clinically. Of 481 pts, 93 (19%) developed RLC at 3 or 6M; IM, 38 (14%); Nilo, 23 (22%); Dasa, 32 (30%) (p= .001). ALC at 3 or 6M was observed in 15 (3%); IM, 3 (1%); Nilo, 1 (1%); Dasa, 11 (10%) (p<.001). Overall, cumulative incidence of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 6M, major molecular response (MMR) at 12M, molecular response with 4.5 log reduction by IS (MR4.5) at 24M did not differ significantly between RLC and non-RLC (3 or 6M), or between ALC and non-ALC (3 or 6M). 5-y TFS, EFS and OS in ALC group were significantly worse than those in non-ALC group (p= .002, p=.016, p=.008, respectively). By UVA and MVA related to OS, age [p <.001; Hazard ratio (HR), 1.062; 95% confidence interval (95%CI), 1.036-1.089], presence of ALC at 3 or 6M [p = .028; HR, 10.948; 95%CI, 1.297-92.415], absence of MMR at 24M [p=.016; HR, 2.263; 95%CI, 1.165-4.393] were identified as adverse prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion: The presence of ALC ≥4,000/µL at 3 or 6M of TKI therapies is rare but is adversely associated with overall survival. Table 1.

Kinase Domain Mutations

The chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) development is associated with the formation of the BCR/ABL1 fusion gene and the BCR/ABL1 protein with increased tyrosine kinase activity. Despite the high efficiency of targeted therapy, up to 30% of patients do not respond on such therapy i.e. are primary resistant. The presence of BCR/ABL1 kinase domain mutations is considered to be one of the reasons of tyrosin kinase inhibitors resistance. To evaluate the frequency of BCR/ABL1 kinase domain mutations in Ukrainian cohort of CML patients with primary resistance to imatinib therapy, we retrospectively studied BCR/ABL1 kinase domain mutations in peripheral blood of 107 CML patients. The nucleotide sequence was determined by direct sequencing by Sanger. Mutations were reported in 45 of 107 (41.7%) CML patients. Two mutations at a time were revealed in 8 patients. So a total of 53 mutations were found out. Among them 49 were missense-mutations and 4 - deletions of different regions of the BCR/ABL1 kinase domain gene. The missense-mutations F359I/V (12 patients), T315I (8 patients) and G250E (6 patients) were most common. By localization, the mutations majority (23 of 53) was in the P-loop, 10 mutations - in the contact site, 13 mutations - in the catalytic domain and 6 – in the A-loop. Of the detected mutations, 26 (49%) resulted in a disruption of the hydrogen bond between BCR/ABL1-tyrosine kinase and imatinib. Significant reduction in overall survival was found in patients with BCR/ABL1 kinase domain mutations compared with patients with wild-type of BCR/ABL1 gene (p=0.018). The estimated 3-year overall survival was 83.4% (95% CI: 77.0%-89.8%) and 94.3% (95% CI: 91.0%-97.3%), respectively. Therefore, mutations of the BCR/ABL1 kinase domain are one of the mechanisms of primary resistance in CML patients on imatinib therapy. The occurrence of BCR/ABL1 gene mutations impairs the prognosis of imatinib therapy response.

AbstractIn the ENESTnd study, with ≥10 years follow-up in patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase, nilotinib demonstrated higher cumulative molecular response rates, lower rates of disease progression and CML-related death, and increased eligibility for treatment-free remission (TFR). Cumulative 10-year rates of MMR and MR4.5 were higher with nilotinib (300 mg twice daily [BID], 77.7% and 61.0%, respectively; 400 mg BID, 79.7% and 61.2%, respectively) than with imatinib (400 mg once daily [QD], 62.5% and 39.2%, respectively). Cumulative rates of TFR eligibility at 10 years were higher with nilotinib (300 mg BID, 48.6%; 400 mg BID, 47.3%) vs imatinib (29.7%). Estimated 10-year overall survival rates in nilotinib and imatinib arms were 87.6%, 90.3%, and 88.3%, respectively. Overall frequency of adverse events was similar with nilotinib and imatinib. By 10 years, higher cumulative rates of cardiovascular events were reported with nilotinib (300 mg BID, 16.5%; 400 mg BID, 23.5%) vs imatinib (3.6%), including in Framingham low-risk patients. Overall efficacy and safety results support the use of nilotinib 300 mg BID as frontline therapy for optimal long-term outcomes, especially in patients aiming for TFR. The benefit-risk profile in context of individual treatment goals should be carefully assessed.
