Abstract Abstract 695 Background Radotinib is a novel, selective Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) developed by IL-YANG Pharm, South Korea. Radotinib showed a good efficacy and safety profile to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in preclinical and phase 1 clinical studies. To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of radotinib 400 mg twice daily, data from CML patients treated during phase 2 clinical trial are reported. Methods Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+)-positive chronic phase CML (CP-CML) patients who failed or were intolerable to TKIs (imatinib and/or dasatinib and/or nilotinib) were enrolled between July 2009 and November 2011. Patients were treated with radotinib 400 mg twice daily for 12 cycles (1 cycle=4 weeks). The primary end point was an achievement of major cytogenetic response (MCyR, Ph+£35%) by 12 months. Safety parameters were also analyzed. Results A total of 77 CP CML patients (18 years of age or over) were enrolled from 12 sites in Korea, India, and Thailand. This analysis includes data from last enrolled patient who received at least 3 months of radotinib therapy. The median age of patients was 47 (range; 24–76) years, and 65 (84.4%) were imatinib-resistant and 12 (15.6%) were imatinib-intolerant. Four patients also had intolerance to dasatinib. With a median follow-up of 10.6 months, treatment with radotinib is ongoing in 46 patients (59.7%) and 31 patients (40.3%) discontinued the treatment including two deaths (2.6%). However, there were no CML-related deaths. Median duration of radotinib exposure was 296 (8–798) days. Overall MCyR rate was 63.6%, including 35 patients (45.4%) complete cytogenetic response and 14 patients (18.2%) partial cytogenetic response. The median time to MCyR was 2.8 months (85 days) and the median duration of MCyR was 315 (range; 5–726) days. Of patients achieving complete cytogenetic response, 37% (13/35) achieved major molecular response. Within follow-up durations, 44 patients (57.1%) required dose interruption and 41 patients (53.3%) had dose reduction. Most common grade 3/4 hematologic and laboratory adverse events (AEs) were thrombocytopenia (27.3%), neutropenia (10.4%), anemia (6.5%), and hyperbilirubinemia (31.2%). Common non-hematologic AEs were rash (29.8%), fatigue (14.3%), nausea/vomiting (14.3%), headache (13.0%), and pruritus (11.7%). The majority of AEs were easily manageable with temporal dose interruption and/or reductions. In all patients with CP-CML treated with second-line radotinib, estimated progression-free survival and overall survival rate at 12months was 84.9% (95% CI, 72.7–92.0%) and 97.4% (95% CI, 89.9–99.3% ), respectively. Conclusion Radotinib phase 2 trial confirmed the efficacy and safety of radotinib 400 mg twice daily in patients with CP-CML after failure to TKIs. Most of the AEs occurred in the early treatment period, were tolerable, and were easily controlled by dose interruption or reduction.

Abstract Nilotinib, an orally bioavailable, selective Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is 30-fold more potent than imatinib in pre-clinical models, and overcomes most imatinib resistant BCR-ABL mutations. In this phase 2 open-label study, 400 mg nilotinib was administered orally twice daily to 280 patients with Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) after imatinib failure or intolerance. Patients had at least 6 months of follow-up and were evaluated for hematologic and cytogenetic responses, as well as for safety and overall survival. At 6 months, the rate of major cytogenetic response (Ph ≤ 35%) was 48%: complete (Ph = 0%) in 31%, and partial (Ph = 1%-35%) in 16%. The estimated survival at 12 months was 95%. Nilotinib was effective in patients harboring BCR-ABL mutations associated with imatinib resistance (except T315I), and also in patients with a resistance mechanism independent of BCR-ABL mutations. Adverse events were mostly mild to moderate, and there was minimal cross-intolerance with imatinib. Grades 3 to 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 29% of patients; pleural or pericardial effusions were observed in 1% (none were severe). In summary, nilotinib is highly active and safe in patients with CML-CP after imatinib failure or intolerance. This clinical trial is registered at http://clinicaltrials.gov as ID no. NCT00109707.

7052 Background: Dasatinib, a potent BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is approved for the treatment of chronic phase CML (CML-CP) in the frontline and salvage settings. Notable side effects include pleural effusions and myelosuppression. We previously reported dasatinib 50 mg daily to be active and better tolerated than the approved 100 mg daily dose (CANCER. 2018 Jul 1;124(13):2740-2747). We present an update on the efficacy and toxicity profile of lower dose dasatinib 50 mg orally daily in patients with early CML-CP. Methods: All patients presenting to our institution in early CML-CP were eligible to participate. Prior TKI therapy for up to 1 month was allowed. Responses were assessed according to the European LeukemiaNet guidelines (Baccarani et al. Blood 2013 122.872:884). Results: From March 2016 to March 2018, 81 patients have been enrolled. Median age is 47 years (20-84). Patients categorized by Sokal risk are: low 53; intermediate 22 and high 6. Median follow-up is 18 months (9-31). Cumulative response rates over time are shown below: At 3 months, 96% patients achieved early molecular response ( BCR-ABL PCR ≤10%). Median time to CCyR was 4.6 months, MMR 6.0 months, MR4.0 11.4 months and MR4.5 12.2 months. Eighteen patients had treatment interruption: pleural effusion 4 (possibly related 3, unrelated 1 due to pneumonia); gastrointestinal bleed 2; thrombocytopenia 3; transaminitis 2; renal dysfunction 1; asthma exacerbation 1; pneumonitis 1; lower extremity edema 1; myalgias 1, and pregnancy 2. Four patients had dose reductions: pleural effusion 3; myalgias 1. Four patients had dasatinib dose increased to 100mg: lack of CCyR at 6 months, 3; lack of MMR at 12 months, 1. Four patients are off study: no response 2, pneumonitis 1, and insurance 1. None of the patients have transformed or died. Conclusions: These updated results continue to support dasatinib 50 mg daily as an effective and safe dose for early CML-CP. Clinical trial information: NCT02689440. [Table: see text]

Bosutinib, a dual Src/Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has shown potent activity against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This phase 1/2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-daily bosutinib 500 mg in leukemia patients after resistance/intolerance to imatinib. The current analysis included 118 patients with chronic-phase CML who had been pretreated with imatinib followed by dasatinib and/or nilotinib, with a median follow-up of 28.5 months. In this subpopulation, major cytogenetic response was attained by 32% of patients; complete cytogenetic response was attained by 24%, including in one of 3 patients treated with 3 prior TKIs. Complete hematologic response was achieved/maintained in 73% of patients. On-treatment transformation to accelerated/blast phase occurred in 5 patients. At 2 years, Kaplan-Meier–estimated progression-free survival was 73% and estimated overall survival was 83%. Responses were seen across Bcr-Abl mutations, including those associated with dasatinib and nilotinib resistance, except T315I. Bosutinib had an acceptable safety profile; treatment-emergent adverse events were primarily manageable grade 1/2 gastrointestinal events and rash. Grade 3/4 nonhematologic adverse events (> 2% of patients) included diarrhea (8%) and rash (4%). Bosutinib may offer a new treatment option for patients with chronic-phase CML after treatment with multiple TKIs. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00261846.

Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has significant efficacy in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. In general, hematologic and extrahematologic side effects of imatinib therapy are mild to moderate, with the large majority of patients tolerating prolonged periods of therapy. However, a minority of patients are completely intolerant of therapy, while others are able to remain on therapy despite significant side effects. Here, we describe a chronic phase CML patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension, mechanical hearth valve, who experienced extrahematologic adverse event (persistent grade III cutaneous rash, despite two discontinuations of imatinib and using of steroid). Necessitating switch to one of new tyrosine kinase inhibitors, nilotinib, has resulted in complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response, after 3 and 6 months, respectively. No cross-intolerance with imatinib was observed during nilotinib therapy. Besides, this clinical case suggests that warfarin and nilotinib can be used concurrently without the risk of increased anticoagulant effect.

Abstract Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a malignancy of a hematopoietic stem cell, is caused by the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. STI571(formerly CGP 57148B), an Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has specific in vitro antileukemic activity against Bcr-Abl–positive cells and is currently in Phase II clinical trials. As it is likely that resistance to a single agent would be observed, combinations of STI571 with other antileukemic agents have been evaluated for activity against Bcr-Abl–positive cell lines and in colony-forming assays in vitro. The specific antileukemic agents tested included several agents currently used for the treatment of CML: interferon-alpha (IFN), hydroxyurea (HU), daunorubicin (DNR), and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C). In proliferation assays that use Bcr-Abl–expressing cells lines, the combination of STI571 with IFN, DNR, and Ara-C showed additive or synergistic effects, whereas the combination of STI571 and HU demonstrated antagonistic effects. However, in colony-forming assays that use CML patient samples, all combinations showed increased antiproliferative effects as compared with STI571 alone. These data indicate that combinations of STI571 with IFN, DNR, or Ara-C may be more useful than STI571 alone in the treatment of CML and suggest consideration of clinical trials of these combinations.

Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with the BCR-ABL T315I mutation do not benefit from therapy with currently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Omacetaxine mepesuccinate is a protein synthesis inhibitor that has demonstrated activity in cells harboring the T315I mutation. This phase 2 trial assessed the efficacy of omacetaxine in CML patients with T315I and tyrosine kinase inhibitor failure. Patients received subcutaneous omacetaxine 1.25 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1-14, every 28 days until hematologic response or a maximum of 6 cycles, and then days 1-7 every 28 days as maintenance. Results for patients treated in chronic phase are reported here. Patients (n = 62) received a median of 7 (range, 1-41) cycles. Complete hematologic response was achieved in 48 patients (77%; 95% lower confidence limit, 65%); median response duration was 9.1 months. Fourteen patients (23%; 95% lower confidence limit, 13%) achieved major cytogenetic response, including complete cytogenetic response in 10 (16%). Median progression free-survival was 7.7 months. Grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity included thrombocytopenia (76%), neutropenia (44%), and anemia (39%) and was typically manageable by dose reduction. Nonhematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1/2 and included infection (42%), diarrhea (40%), and nausea (34%). Omacetaxine may provide a safe and effective treatment for CML patients with T315I mutation. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00375219.
