Real-World Comparisons of Cardiovascular Events between Different Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Among Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
CONCLUSION: CP-CML patients treated with different TKIs (ponatinib, bosutinib, imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib) did not have different incidence of cardiovascular events (MACE, AOEs, VTEs) in this small cohort of real-world patients with ≥6-month of follow-up. The results were consistent among patients with prior use of one and two TKI types.DisclosuresLevy: Takeda (Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.): Consultancy. Xie: STATinMED Research: Employment.

Analysis of adverse events associated with dasatinib and nilotinib treatments in chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia patients outside clinical trials.
Abstract We analyzed adverse events (AEs) in 201 chronic phase CML patients treated with nilotinib (n = 120) or dasatinib (n = 81) as first- or second-line therapy. The dasatinib group had significantly higher grade 3-4 AEs compared to the nilotinib group (22 vs. 54%, p < 0.001), and had more frequent dose reduction, interruption, and discontinuation (p < 0.001, p = 0.004, and p = 0.006, respectively). Of 59 patients who discontinued treatment, 47 (80%) discontinued treatment due to AEs; 50% of the AEs causing drug discontinuation were of grade 2 severity. Compared to the second-line setting, dis...
