Olverembatinib Treatment in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed Philadelphia-Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk. 2023 May 11:S2152-2650(23)00140-4. doi: 10.1016/j.clml.2023.04.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTreatment outcomes for children with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remained poor despite the use of intensive chemotherapy, imatinib or dasatinib, and consolidative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Oleverembatinib, a third-generation ABL inhibitor, was found to be highly effective and safe in adults with chronic myeloid leukemia and in some adults with relapsed or refractory Ph+ ALL. We reviewed the efficacy and safety profile of olverembatinib treatment in 6 children with relapsed Ph+ ALL and 1 with T-ALL and ABL class fusion, all of whom had previously received dasatinib or intolerance to dasatinib. The median duration of olverembatinib treatment was 70 days (range: 4-340) and the median cumulative dose was 600 mg (range: 80-3810). Complete remission with negative minimal residual level (<0.01%) was achieved in 4 of the 5 evaluable patients, 2 of whom were treated with olvermbatinib as a single agent. Safety profile in 6 evaluable patients was excellent with grade 2 extremity pain occurred in 2 patients and grade 2 myopathy of lower extremity and grade 3 fever in 1 patient each. Olverembatinib appeared to be safe and effective in children with relapsed Ph+ ALL.PMID:37301632 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2023.04.012
