Abstract Targeted therapy commenced against Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) with the development of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), since its approval in 2001 as first-line therapy, imatinib has been effective in achieving high response rates and improving the prognosis. However, the excellent results of large clinical trials are not entirely reproducible in the “real world”, we want to share our experience of a decade of use as front-line treatment. A total of 160 patients with previously untreated CML since 2002 were reviewed: 90% chronic phase (CP), 7% accelerated phase (AP), and 3% blast phase (BP). All were treated with standard-dose imatinib. In CP, overall survival (OS) at 75 months was 82% and progression-free survival 66%(PFS). Survival was worse in those over 60 years (P= < .001). 40% achieved and maintained Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR), 19 patients progressed to BP. 23.4% had some degree of hematologic toxicity that required a temporary suspension or reduction of the initial dose. 26.8% of patients with chronic phase treated at our institution were in the high EUTOS score. In this population, the EUTOS score was not predictive for outcome. Our study showed that imatinib is effective, and well tolerated by our patients and remains as a good strategy used as first-line therapy for patients with CML. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Bosutinib is approved as first line therapy for treatment of chronic phase CML and also in patients who are either resistant or intolerant to previous TKI. We present a 59 year old male who was intolerant to 2 TKI but showed excellent hematological and major molecular response to Bosutinib.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are the most common leukemias of the elderly. However, the sequential occurrence of CML followed by CLL in the same patient is extremely rare. We present a report of a 70-year-old man who developed CLL six years after the diagnosis of CML in molecular, cytogenetic and morphologic remission. The diagnosis of CLL is confirmed by peripheral lymphocytosis. The first line therapy in CML in chronic phase is still imatinib, but in the present case the patient was intolerant to imatinib, therefore he switched to nilotinib after few months.

We report a case of a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase who was treated with Imatinib as first line therapy. He showed a suboptimal response by 2006 ELN criteria after six months, for this reason we performed a mutational analysis that showed the mutation F486S. Due to this finding we made an early switch to Nilotinib (Nil); patients started Nil at 300 bid mg/day obtaining at six month a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and a MMolR (RQ-PCR ratio BCR-ABL1/ABL1%IS: 0.05). The patient is now on 24 months Nil treatment showing a RQ-PCR ratio BCR-ABL1/ABL1%IS: 0.004.
