Survival Outcomes in Patients With Chronic-Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CP-CML) Receiving Third- or Subsequent Line (3L) Treatment

PACE was a phase 2 single-arm trial of ponatinib, a 3rd-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in 449 highly-refractory patients with CML or Philadelphia-chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or who had the BCR-ABL T315I mutation. Overall survival (OS) for 3L CP-CML patients in PACE (n=97) at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years was estimated to be 91%, 83%, 80%, and 79%, respectively. Expected survival for 3L CP-CML patients prior to the availability of ponatinib has not been documented.
