The effects of imatinib mesylate treatment before allogeneic transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia

Abstract: The impact of imatinib mesylate (IM) treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) on subsequent allogeneic transplantation is uncertain. To better understand this relationship, we retrospectively compared 145 patients with CML receiving IM for a minimum of 3 months before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to 231 patients with CML who did not. IM treatment was associated with no increase in early hepatotoxicity or engraftment delay after HCT compared with the historical cohort. In addition, th… Show more

“…There have been earlier reports describing lower incidences of chronic GVHD in patients who received imatinib therapy earlier, [16][17][18][19] but as for imatinib increasing the incidence of severe acute GVHD (grade 3-4), the literature does not support our finding. These results may have been affected by our relatively small sample size.…”

“…20,21 The effect imatinib had on the major transplant outcomes (OS, RFS and risk of relapse) for our CML cohort was not statistically significant and was in agreement with earlier reports. 18,19,22 Limitations to this study exist in the lack of standard dosing and/or timing of imatinib therapy in our patients both before and after HCT, the heterogeneous nature and overall small number of patients evaluated and our limited power to observe a difference in cardiac event rates. Despite these limitations, on the basis of this retrospective analysis of a heterogeneous group of CML patients, imatinib use in the peri-transplant period had no effect on either TRM or cardiac toxicity.…”

“…Patients with accelerated or blastic phase CML may receive initial therapy with TKIs (newer generation TKIs like dasatinib or ponatinib preferred over imatinib) to reduce the CML burden, and be considered for early alloSCT [76][77][78][79][80]. Response rates with combinations of TKIs and chemotherapy are 40% in nonlymphoid BP CML and 70-80% in lymphoid BP CML [81][82][83].…”

“…61,62 Uma vantagem do TCTH é a sua capacidade de produzir uma resposta molecular completa que pode ocorrer em até 75% dos pacientes, e que está associada a um risco menor de recidiva e uma potencial cura da LMC. 14,64,65 Esta resposta molecular completa, entretanto, não é usual no tratamento com o mesilato de imatinibe (IM). 14,63,64 O TCTH tem sido cada vez mais utilizado como tratamento de "salvamento" para pacientes com LMC intolerantes ou resistentes ao IM.…”

“…Finalmente, se a presença de mutações no domínio da tirosina quinase (TKD), diagnosticadas antes do transplante, estaria associada a um pior resultado. 65 Como consequência do uso do IM como primeira linha para o tratamento da LMC, a população de pacientes submetida ao TCTH mudou. Muitos pacientes usaram o IM previamente ao transplante e receberão o transplante em FC se forem intolerantes ou falharem ao IM.…”
