Introduction Nilotinib is a second generation Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has transformed chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia from a disease with a poor prognosis to a treatable chronic disease. Long-term treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors means that patients must be clinically managed and monitored for years. While under Nilotinib tretament, the development of palmoplantar erythrodyesthesia is a very rare condition compared to other oncological drugs. Case report A 66-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with chronic phase CML in 2019 had been placed under imatinib treatment . He had major molecular response loss in 2021, and was started on second generation TKI nilotinib 2  ×  400mg/day, considering his comorbidities. We present a case of a 66-year-old patient with CML who developed palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia on the 21st day starting nilotinib treatment. Conclusion It is important to manage the side effects that develop in long-term treatments. Adverse events can have a negative impact on patient compliance and quality of life and lead to poor clinical outcomes Our case is the first to develop PPE after beginning nilotinib use. We present this phenomenon to raise awareness and ignite a review of management strategies.In this case, we wanted to emphasize the importance of managing side effects.

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.
