Q

The panel recommends against the use of hydroxyurea during pregnancy, especially in the ________ trimester.

A

First trimester

Leukapheresis can be used for a rising white blood cell (WBC) count and/ or platelet count, although there are no data that recommend at what levels leukapheresis and/or platelet pheresis should be initiated.

Low-dose aspirin or low-molecular-weight heparin can be considered for patients with thrombocytosis.

25

Monthly monitoring of CBC with differential and frequent monitoring with qPCR (every 1–3 mo) would be helpful to guide the timing for initiation of TKI therapy.

26
Q

TKI therapy can be restarted after ______

After delivery

Patients should be advised not to breastfeed while on TKI therapy, as TKIs pass into human breast milk.

27

  • Platelet count <450 x 109/L

  • Minor cytogenetic response: >35%–65% Ph-positive metaphases
29
Q

CRITERIA FOR RESPONSE

Molecular response

A
  • Early molecular response (EMR): BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤10% at 3 and 6 months
  • Major molecular response (MMR): BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤0.1% or ≥3-log reduction in BCR::ABL1 transcripts from the standardized baseline, if qPCR (IS) is not available
  • Deep molecular response (DMR): MR4.0: BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤0.01% or MR4.5: BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤0.0032%
30
Q

CRITERIA FOR RESPONSE

Relapse

A
  • Any sign of loss of hematologic response
  • Any sign of loss of CCyR or its molecular response orrelate (MR2.0: BCR::ABL1 [IS] ≤1%) – defined as an increase in BCR::ABL1 transcript to >1%

  • Response milestones not reached
  • Any sign of loss of hematologic response
  • Any sign of loss of CCyR or its molecular response correlate (MR2.0: BCR::ABL1 [IS] ≤1%) – defined as an increase in BCR::ABL1 transcript to >1%
32
Q

MONITORING RESPONSE TO TKI THERAPY

qPCR using IS

A
  • At diagnosis
  • Every 3 months after initiating treatment. After BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤1% (MR2.0)2 has been achieved, every 3 months for 2 years and every 3–6 months thereafter
  • If there is a 1-log increase in BCR::ABL1 transcript levels with MMR, qPCR should be repeated in 1–3 months
33
Q

When to perform BCR::ABL1 kinase domain mutation analysis

A
  • CP-CML
  • Response milestones not reached
  • Disease progression to AP-CML or BP-CML
34
Q

  • Prior evidence of quantifiable BCR::ABL1 transcript.
  • Stable molecular response (MR4; BCR::ABL1 ≤0.01% IS) for ≥2 years, as documented on at least 4 tests, performed at least 3 months apart.
  • Access to a reliable qPCR test with a sensitivity of detection of at least MR4.5 (BCR::ABL1 ≤0.0032% IS) and that provides results within 2 weeks.
  • Molecular monitoring every 1–2 months for the first 6 months following discontinuation, bimonthly during months 7–12, and quarterly thereafter (indefinitely) for patients who remain in MMR (MR3; BCR::ABL1 ≤0.1% IS).
  • Prompt resumption of TKI within 4 weeks of a loss of MMR with monthly molecular monitoring until MMR is re-established, then every 3 months thereafter is recommended indefinitely for patients who have reinitiated TKI therapy after a loss of MMR. If MMR is not achieved after 3 months of TKI resumption, BCR::ABL1 kinase domain mutation testing should be performed, and monthly molecular monitoring should be continued for another 6 months.

52
Q

Prognostic score that is based on the same variables as the Sokol score and provides the most useful predictor of CML-related death in patients treated with first-line imatinib.

53
Q

The only tool capable of monitoring responses after the patient has achieved CCyR, since BCR::ABL1 transcripts typically remain detectable after CCyR is achieved.

A

qPCR

A major advantage of qPCR is the strong correlation between the results obtained from the peripheral blood and the bone marrow, allowing for molecular monitoring without bone marrow aspirations.

54
Q

The most important goals of TKI therapy are:

A
  • To prevent disease progression to AP-CML or BP-CML
  • To achieve either MR2.0 (≤1% BCR::ABL1 IS, which corresponds to CCyR) or MMR (≤0.1% BCR::ABL1 IS) within 12 months after first-line TKI therapy
55
Q

Clinical trial on Ponatinib that evaluated the safety and efficacy of response-adjusted dosing regimen

Patients were randomized to ponatinib starting doses of 45 mg, 30 mg, and 15 mg, with dose reduction to 15 mg with achievement of ≤1% BCR::ABL1 (IS) in the 45 mg and 30 mg cohorts.

A

OPTIC trial

the FDA has approved a response-adjusted dosing regimen for ponatinib [starting dose of 45 mg once daily with a reduction to 15 mg upon achievement of BCR::ABL1 (IS) ≤1%] for patients with CP-CML with resistance or intolerance to at least two prior kinase inhibitors.

56
Q

TKI with literature supporting Initiation at Lower Dose

A

A

OPTkIMA

The DESTINY trial showed the feasibility de-escalation of TKI (imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib) to half the standard dose for 12 months (imatinib 200 mg once daily; dasatinib 50 mg once daily, or nilotinib 200 mg twice daily) in patients achieving MMR or MR4 followed by discontinuation for 24 months (with frequent monitoring).

NILO-RED study (published only an abstract) demonstrated the feasibility of maintenance therapy with reduced dose nilotinib (once daily) in patients achieving MMR on standard-dose nilotinib (twice daily).

58
Q
