Evaluation of time to onset and outcome of cardiac adverse events associated with nilotinib using post-marketing surveillance
CONCLUSIONS: We focused on CAEs caused by nilotinib as post-marketing AEs. Some cases resulted in serious outcomes. Patients should be monitored for signs of onset of these AEs not only at the start of administration, but for a long period of time.PMID:37598671 | DOI:10.1159/000533325 (Source: Oncology)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4161: A Multicenter Retrospective Chart Review Study of Treatment and Disease Patterns and Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Chronic-Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Third-Line Treatment or with T315I Mutation
riel Etienne This retrospective chart review study investigated the clinical burden of adult patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) treated at three centers in France (2006–2021) who failed on two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs; third-line [3L]+ cohort) or harbored the BCR::ABL1 T315I mutation (T315I cohort). In the 3L+ cohort (N = 157; median age at diagnosis, 56 years), TKIs received in 3L (median duration: 17 months) were dasatinib (32%), nilotinib (19%), imatinib (18%), ponatinib (17%), and bosutinib (14%). Of the 145 patients with documented responses in 3L, 42% exper...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4112: Minimal Residual Disease Detection at RNA and Leukemic Stem Cell (LSC) Levels: Comparison of RT-qPCR, d-PCR and CD26+ Stem Cell Measurements in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Patients in Deep Molecular Response (DMR)
Fabritiis Simona Bernardi A Deep Molecular Response (DMR), defined as a BCR::ABL1 transcript at levels ≤ 0.01% by RT-qPCR, is the prerequisite for the successful interruption of treatment among patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). However, approximately 50% of patients in Treatment-Free Remission (TFR) studies had to resume therapy after their BCR::ABL1 transcript levels rose above the 0.1% threshold. To improve transcript detection sensitivity and accuracy, transcript levels can be analyzed using digital PCR (dPCR). dPCR increases BCR::ABL1 transcript detection sensitivity 10–100 fo...

Association of Nilotinib With Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia: A National PopulationBased Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicate that nilotinib treatment is associated with increased risks of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, with hyperlipidemia being the most significant risk for CVDs. Therefore, we recommend that CML patients receiving nilotinib should undergo screening for diabetes and hyperlipidemia prior to initiating TKI treatment. Additionally, regular monitoring of lipid profiles during TKI therapy and implementing effective management strategies to control hyperlipidemia are crucial.PMID:37561957 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad225 (Source: The Oncologist)

Vodobatinib, a potent, orally bioavailable brain-penetrating inhibitor of c-Abl as a potential neuroprotective agent for treatment of Parkinson disease
Background:Preclinical evidence suggests that c-Abl is critical for pathogenesis of Parkinson Disease (PD). Vodobatinib is a potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of c-Abl currently being evaluated in patients with PD in the PROSEEK clinical trial. Nilotinib, a multikinase inhibitor of c-Abl, was recently shown to be unsuccessful in slowing PD progression (Simuni et al. 2021). This failure of nilotinib at its maximally permissible dose of 300mg was attributed to insufficient brain penetration because the concentration of nilotinib in the CSF was found to be 7-fold lower than its IC50 for c-Abl.

Myelofibrosis at diagnosis is associated with the failure of treatment-free remission in CML patients
In this study, we show that presence of myelofibrosis (MF) at the time of diagnosis is a factor associating with TFR failure. Fibrotic transformation is governed by the action of several cytokines, and interestingly, some of them have also been described to support LSC persistence. At the cellular level, these could be produced by both malignant cells and by components of the bone marrow (BM) niche, including megakaryocytes (MKs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). In our cohort of 57 patients, around 40% presented with MF at diagnosis and the number of blasts in the peripheral blood and BM was significantly elevated in ...
