Cure of CML (Almost…). Brief Perspective
•IFN – α induced CGCR in 10-30%; CGCR associated with long-term survival; potential cure 5-7% (1983; 1990)
•Ph and BCR-ABL molecular events identified (1980s)
•BCR-ABL abnormalities caused CML in animal models (1990); BCR-ABL legitimate Rx target
•Development of TKIs → CGCR 80-90%; 10-yr survival 80-95%

CML. Historical vs. Modern PerspectiveParameter Historical Modern
•Course Fatal Indolent
•Prognosis Poor Excellent
•10-yr survival 10% 84 - 90%
•Frontline Rx Allo SCT;
IFN-Imatinib; nilotinib; dasatinib
•Second line Rx ? New TKIs; allo SCT

Do We Need Bone Marrow At Dx?
• Assess % of blasts and basos (10-15% have CML transformation at Dx)
• Confirm Ph by CG; detect clonal evolution
• FISH can be falsely positive
• QPCR can be falsely positive or negative

CML. The Next Questions
•Frontline CML Rx: imatinib vs. second TKIs
•Can we cure CML molecularly? Is it necessary?
•Role and timing of allo SCT
•Monitoring of CML
•Others: prevalence, pregnancy CG abn., Rx DC

CML- Possible Future Rxs• Most differences in events in ENEST-nd
and DASISION are in intermediate-high risk Sokal. Most differences in transformation in first 1-2 yrs
• Achieving PCR ≤ 10% at 3-6 mos and CGCR by 6 mos protects against events
• Possible strategies
1) imatinib in low-risk Sokal
2) nilotinib-dasatinib in higher risk Sokal for 1 year on until CGCR then change to imatinib

CML. Role and Timing of allo SCTStatus TKIs Allo SCT
AP-BP Interim Rx to MRD ASAP
IM failure in CP, T315I
Ponatinib interim Rx to MRD
ASAP
IM failure in CP –no CE, no mutations, good initial response
Long-term second line TKIs
Third line post second TKI failure
IM failure in CP –CE, bad mutations, no CG response
Interim Rx to MRD Second line
Older ≥65 – 70 post IM failure
Long-term May forgo allo SCT for many yrs of QOL
21
CML Monitoring• Establish confirmed CGCR in first year (BM
at 6-12 mo)
• In CGCR
- FISH and QPCR every 6 mos
- If MMR (QPCR < 0.1%), may monitor with QPCR only (watch for false results)
- If QPCR ↑ by 0.5 – 1 log and/or loss of MMR (PCR> 0.1%) → monitor more frequently
• Mutations studies if resistance / need to change TKIs
• Change TKI only for loss of CGCR, not based on MMR/QPCR 41
When to Look For Mutations?•Mutation analysis in 1301 pts receiving imatinib or 2nd
generation TKI (GIMEMA)Clinical condition % PositiveFailure 27

Analysis of Mutations in CML
• If CG or hematologic relapse, mutations studies help
• No role for mutation studies pre-Rx or in imatinib responding patients
• T315I: no role for new TKIs; allo SCT or others (HU, ara-C, HHT, “T315I inhibitors”)
• Y253H, E255K/V, F359V/C/I : dasatinib• V299L,T315A, F317L/V/I/C : nilotinib

CMRPossibility of Rx discontinuation (clinical trials only)

My Golden Rules in CML Monitoring
• Do not discard a TKI unless there is loss of CGCR (not MMR) at the maximum tolerated adjusted dose that does not cause grade 3-4 or chronic grade 2 (affecting QOL) toxicities
• Dose ranges–imatinib 300-400mg/D (rarely 200mg/D)–nilotinib 200-400mg BID (rarely 200mg/D)–dasatinib 20-100mg/D
• Mutation studies only if CG or hematologic relapse
27
CGCR, Not “Deep Molecular Response MR 4.5” Associated with Survival in CML (German CML Study IV)• 1,551 pts Rx with IM 400, 800mg, with ara-C or IFN
• Cumulative CGCR 70%, MMR 80%, MR 4.5 70%, confirmed MR 4.5 54%; 8-yr OS 86%
• “Confirmed MR 4.5 at 4 yrs predicted higher 8-yr OS” (p=.047%)

• Stop imatinib if pregnancy
• Female partners of males on TKIs →no problems
• If pregnancy / children highly desired: achieve durable CMR on TKIs then hold TKI and proceed with pregnancy / delivery under closer monitoring (e.g. FISH/QPCR every 2-3 mos)

accommodating gatekeeper residue
• Potent activity against an array of BCR-ABL variants
• Also targets other therapeutically relevant kinases:
- Inhibits FLT3, FGFR, VEGFR and PDGFR, and c-KIT
• Once-daily oral activity in murine models

Take Home Message – CML 2014 •Great therapy for CML•CGCR is endpoint of Rx = improves survival•Early response (3 months) predictive─ Should not change at 3 months─ Monitor at 6 months and decide
•Deeper molecular responses improve event-free survival− No impact on transformation or survival− No clear benefit for CMR (except
discontinuation?)•Excellent new drugs: ponatinib, bosutinib,
omacetaxine
