TKI discontinuation in CML: how do we make more patients eligible? How do we increase the chances of a successful treatment-free remission?

ABSTRACT: Treatment-free remission (TFR) is a new and significant goal of chronic myeloid leukemia management. TFR should be considered for patients in stable deep molecular response (DMR) after careful discussion in the shared decision-making process. Second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve the speed of response and the incidence of DMR. Treatment may be changed to a more active TKI to improve the depth of response in selected patients who have not reached DMR. Stem cell persistence is associated with active immune surveillance and activation of BCR-ABL1-independent pathways, eg, STAT3, JAK1/2, and BCL2. Ongoing studies aim to prove the efficacy of maintenance therapies targeting these pathways after TKI discontinuation.

Elevated plasma levels of IL-6 and MCP-1 selectively identify CML patients who better sustain molecular remission after TKI withdrawal.

Project description:Treatment-free remission (TFR) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is safe under adequate molecular monitoring, but questions remain regarding which factors may be considered predictive for TFR. Argentina Stop Trial (AST) is a multicenter TFR trial showing that 65% of patients sustain molecular remission, and the prior time in deep molecular response (DMR) was associated with successful TFR. Luminex technology was used to characterize cytokines in plasma samples. Using machine learning algorithms, MCP-1 and IL-6 were identified as novel biomarkers and MCP-1low/IL-6low patients showed eightfold higher risk of relapse. These findings support the feasibility of TFR for patients in DMR and MCP-1/IL-6 plasma levels are strong predictive biomarkers.

Is There a Role for Dose Modification of TKI Therapy in CML?

Project description:PURPOSE OF REVIEW:For patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML), there is an increasing focus on personalization of therapy with dose modifications of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to reduce side effects and maintain efficacy. Dose reductions are also being considered in clinical trials prior to treatment-free remission (TFR) attempts. RECENT FINDINGS:Recent retrospective analyses of large clinical trials show that dose modification/reduction is safe. Efficacy is generally maintained and side effects are improved. Clinical trials such as DESTINY have demonstrated that dose reduction is safe for patients in deep molecular remission and may be considered prior to a TFR attempt. Dose modifications are widely used to prevent and manage the toxicities of TKIs. With adequate monitoring, dose optimization is safe, reduces side effects, and improves quality-of-life for patients. Clinical trials of dose optimization are currently recruiting across all approved TKIs and will lead to further personalization of therapy for CP-CML patients in the future.

Combination of PKCδ Inhibition with Conventional TKI Treatment to Target CML Models.

Project description:Numerous combinations of signaling pathway blockades in association with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment have been proposed for eradicating leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but none are currently clinically available. Because targeting protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) was demonstrated to eliminate cancer stem cells (CSCs) in solid tumors, we evaluated the efficacy of PKCδ inhibition in combination with TKIs for CML cells. We observed that inhibition of PKCδ by a pharmacological inhibitor, by gene silencing, or by using K562 CML cells expressing dominant-negative (DN) or constitutively active (CA) PKCδ isoforms clearly points to PKCδ as a regulator of the expression of the stemness regulator BMI1. As a consequence, inhibition of PKCδ impaired clonogenicity and cell proliferation for leukemic cells. PKCδ targeting in K562 and LAMA-84 CML cell lines clearly enhanced the apoptotic response triggered by any TKI. A strong synergism was observed for apoptosis induction through an increase in caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation and significantly decreased expression of the Bcl-xL Bcl-2 family member. Inhibition of PKCδ did not modify BCR-ABL phosphorylation but acted downstream of the oncogene by downregulating BMI1 expression, decreasing clonogenicity. PKCδ inhibition interfered with the clonogenicity of primary CML CD34+ and BCR-ABL-transduced healthy CD34+ cells as efficiently as any TKI while it did not affect differentiation of healthy CD34+ cells. LTC-IC experiments pinpointed that PKCδ inhibition strongly decreased the progenitors/LSCs frequency. All together, these results demonstrate that targeting of PKCδ in combination with a conventional TKI could be a new therapeutic opportunity to affect for CML cells.

Treatment-free remission after a second TKI discontinuation attempt in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia re-treated with dasatinib - interim results from the DAstop2 trial.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discontinuation in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has become part of routine care for patients with a sustained deep molecular response (DMR). Approximately 50% experience a molecular relapse upon TKI cessation. Most of them quickly regain DMR upon TKI resumption. Whether these patients can achieve a second treatment-free remission (TFR) remains unclear. DAstop2 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03573596) is a prospective study including patients with a failed first TFR attempt re-treated with any TKI for ≥ one year. Upon entering the study, patients received the TKI dasatinib for additional two years. Patients with sustained DMR for ≥1 year qualified for a second TKI stop. Ninety-four patients were included between Oct 2017-Dec 2021. At the time of data analysis, 62 patients had attempted a 2nd stop. After a median follow-up of 27 months from 2nd stop, TFR rates were 61, 56 and 46% at 6, 12 and 24 months respectively. No progression to advanced stage disease was seen and 87% had re-achieved MR4 within a median of 3 months from TKI re-initiation. In summary, we show that a 2nd TFR attempt after dasatinib treatment is safe, feasible and TFR rates seem in the range of those reported in trials of a first TKI stop.

Early and late TKI response of CML stem cells

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal haemopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene, which encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. We have demonstrated the existence of CML HSC which are resistant to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We have hypothesised that CML stem cells are dependent on key survival pathways that are induced by TKI treatment. In order to elucidate these key survival pathways, we have investigated the transcriptional differences between CML stem/progenitor cells (CD34+38-) treated with TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib) at different time points (8 hours and 7 days, in the absence of growth factors) and by carrying out RNA profiling for the different populations. CD34+38- cells were isolated from chronic phase patient samples. >100ng of total RNA was amplified prior to analysis that was carried out with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array.

Exploration of treatment-free remission in CML, based on molecular monitoring.

Project description:BackgroundTypical chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm caused by t(9; 22)(q34; q11) translocation. This chromosomal translocation forms the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene. The tyrosine kinase encoded by the BCR::ABL1 is considered to be the main pathogenic diver. BCR::ABL1 is not only a therapeutic target, but also a monitoring target. Monitoring of BCR::ABL1 reveals the progression of the disease and guides the next treatment. Now for CML, the target of treatment has been focused on treatment-free remission (TFR).MethodsWe conducted a literature review of current developments of treatment-free remission and molecular monitoring methods.ResultsMore effective and sensitive CML monitoring methods such as digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) and next generation sequencing (NGS) have further studied the measurable residual disease (MRD) and clonal heterogeneity, which provides strong support for the exploration of TFR. We discussed some of the factors that may be related to TFR outcomes at the molecular level, along with some monitoring strategies.ConclusionCurrently, predictive indicators for treatment-free remission outcomes and recurrence are lacking in clinical practice. In future, treatment-free remission research should focus on combining the clinical indicators with molecular monitoring and biological markers to personalize patient conditions and guide clinicians to develop individualized treatment plans, so that more patients with CML can achieve safer and stabler treatment-free remission.

Selective JAK2/ABL dual inhibition therapy effectively eliminates TKI-insensitive CML stem/progenitor cells.

Project description:Imatinib Mesylate (IM) and other tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies have had a major impact on the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, TKI monotherapy is not curative, with relapse and persistence of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) remaining a challenge. We have recently identified an AHI-1-BCR-ABL-JAK2 protein complex that contributes to the transforming activity of BCR-ABL and IM-resistance in CML stem/progenitor cells. JAK2 thus emerges as an attractive target for improved therapies, but off-target effects of newly developed JAK2 inhibitors on normal hematopoietic cells remain a concern. We have examined the biological effects of a highly selective, orally bioavailable JAK2 inhibitor, BMS-911543, in combination with TKIs on CD34+ treatment-naïve IM-nonresponder cells. Combination therapy reduces JAK2/STAT5 and CRKL activities, induces apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and colony growth, and eliminates CML LSCs in vitro. Importantly, BMS-911543 selectively targets CML stem/progenitor cells while sparing healthy stem/progenitor cells. Oral BMS-911543 combined with the potent TKI dasatinib more effectively eliminates infiltrated leukemic cells in hematopoietic tissues than TKI monotherapy and enhances survival of leukemic mice. Dual targeting BCR-ABL and JAK2 activities in CML stem/progenitor cells may consequently lead to more effective disease eradication, especially in patients at high risk of TKI resistance and disease progression.
