45
Q

What are the clinical pearls of the BCR-ABL TKIs class?

A

The clinical pearls of this drug class are as follows:
- Food and/or medications may enhance or decrease absorption
- Neither dasatinib, nilotinib or bosutinib have shown improved overall survival or progression free survival rates compared to imatinib, so choice of first-line therapy should be individualized.
- The following should be considered when choosing an agent:
- toxicity profile
- patient’s age and ability to tolerate therapy
- adherence/ease of administration
- comorbid conditions
- drug interactions
- cost
- feasibility of treatment discontinuation
- In patients with disease progression, the selection of an alternative agent in this class is based on prior therapy, concurrent disease states, and/or mutational testing.

46
Q

Describe considerations for discontinuation of BCR-ABL TKIs.

A

Considerations for discontinuation of agents in this class are as follows:
- The management of CML as a chronic disease requires long-term therapy which can cause both adverse effects and a financial burden.
- Discontinuation of TKI may be feasible in selected patients and with careful monitoring.
- Discontinuation of TKI therapy may be considered only in patients who met all of the following criteria:
- Chronic phase -CML with no history of accelerated phase or blast crisis
- Have been on TKI therapy for at least 3 years with no history of resistance
- Had stable molecular response for >2 years on at least 4 tests performed at least 3 months apart
- Patients who do quality for TKI discontinuation must have monthly molecular monitoring for the first year following discontinuation, then every 6 weeks during the second year, and quarterly thereafter if still in a major molecular response.
- If a patient loses their molecular response, they must have prompt resumption of therapy within 4 weeks.

47
Q

Describe considerations for resistance to BCR-ABL TKIs.

A

Considerations for resistence to agents in this class are as follows:
- Point mutations in the ABL kinase domain are the most frequent mechanism of secondary resistance to these drugs.
- Among mutations in the ABL domain, the presence of the T315i mutation is the most common and displays resistance to all currently available agents except ponatinib and asciminib.
- T315i mutation is also associated with disease progression and poorer survival.
- Asciminib binds allosterically to the ABL pocket and is less susceptible to mutations that drive resistance. It has demonstrated activity against wild-type BCR-ABL1 and several mutant forms (including T315i), even showing activity in heavily pretreated patients.
- Consider performing BCR-ABL kinase domain mutational analysis in patients who fail to achieve the response milestones, patients with any loss of response, or patients who experience disease progression to accelerated phase-CML or blast crisis-CML.

48
Q

Describe considerations for interactions with BCR-ABL TKIs.

A

Considerations for interactions with agents in this class are as follows:
- Dasatinib, Bosutinib, and Ponatinib require an acidic environment for absorption.
- Avoid the use of proton pump inhibitors and separate H2-antagonists by at least two hours.

49
Q

Describe considerations for CNS penetration of BCR-ABL TKIs.

A

Considerations for CNS penetration of agents in this class are as follows:
- Of the available agents, dasatinib crosses blood-brain barrier to the greatest extent.
