Drug-induced chylothorax as a rare pleural complication in dasatinib therapy for chronic myeloid leukaemia
J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2024 Mar 14:14782715241237577. doi: 10.1177/14782715241237577. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChylothorax is a lymphatic chylous pleural effusion typically associated with traumatic (iatrogenic, non-iatrogenic) and non-traumatic (infections, malignancy, lymphatic disorders) aetiologies. Drug-induced chylothorax is uncommon and mostly reported in association with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.PMID:38486345 | DOI:10.1177/14782715241237577 (Source: Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh)

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling of imatinib and N ‐desmethyl imatinib for drug–drug interaction predictions
AbstractThe first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib has revolutionized the development of targeted cancer therapy and remains among the frontline treatments, for example, against chronic myeloid leukemia. As a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8, CYP3A4, and various transporters, imatinib is highly susceptible to drug –drug interactions (DDIs) when co-administered with corresponding perpetrator drugs. Additionally, imatinib and its main metaboliteN-desmethyl imatinib (NDMI) act as inhibitors of CYP2C8, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 affecting their own metabolism as well as the exposure of co-medications. This work pr...

A safety review of tyrosine kinase inhibitors for chronic myeloid leukemia
Expert Opin Drug Saf. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2331190. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Since the introduction of first tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI) imatinib, treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has reachedexcellent survival expectancies. Long survival rates bring about issuesregarding TKI safety.AREAS COVERED: The aim of this review is to compare the side effectsof current TKIs both in the first- and later lines and outline a safety andprofile of CML treatment. Seminal studies on TKIs and other newer drugs andextended follow-up of these studies, real-life data of each drug were useddur...

Spotlight on the real-world treatment of CML pts in Germany: a retrospective survey in private oncology practices
In conclusion, in Germany pts with CML are routinely monitored by qPCR and good responses are achieved in the majority. Treatment changes are mainly due to adverse events rather than suboptimal responses. (Source: Annals of Hematology)

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-induced Cerebrovascular Occlusion Presenting with Moyamoya Disease-like Stenosis of the Circle of Willis
Intern Med. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3337-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVascular occlusive events are notable adverse effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which are promising treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We herein report the case of a patient with CML who developed cerebrovascular occlusion of the circle of Willis during TKI treatment. Our patient did not meet the diagnostic criteria for moyamoya disease due to the insignificant development of moyamoya vessels. The lack of moyamoya vessel development may be explained by the suppression of tyrosine kinases that are responsibl...

Comparison of the Efficacy Among Nilotinib, Dasatinib, Flumatinib and Imatinib in Newly Diagnosed Chronic-Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients: A Real-World Multi-Center Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: Nilotinib, dasatinib and flumatinib had comparable efficacy, and significantly higher therapy responses and higher FFS rates than imatinib in newly diagnosed CML patients. However, there were no significant differences in PFS and OS among these 4 TKIs. These real-world data may provide additional evidence for routine clinical assessments to identify more appropriate therapies.PMID:38461040 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2024.02.008 (Source: Clinical Lymphoma and Myeloma)
