Treatment-free remission after discontinuation of imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia
Blood Res. 2023 Apr 7. doi: 10.5045/br.2023.2023035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy are expected to have long-term survival outcomes comparable to those of the general population. Many clinical trials have confirmed that some patients sustain molecular responses without continuing TKI therapy. Treatment-free remission (TFR) is a new goal in treating chronic CML. The safety and outcome of TFR were studied in clinical trials after discontinuing imatinib or the second-generation TKIs dasatinib or nilotinib. TFR w...
