PG - 356-364 LID - 10.1111/bjh.15042 [doi] AB - This prospective, observational study enrolled 150 adult patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) treated with nilotinib as second-line after imatinib, in a real life setting in France. Two-thirds of patients switched to nilotinib treatment due to lack of imatinib efficacy. Of 146 evaluable patients, 16 (11.0%) (95% confidence interval: 6.4-17.2%) achieved uMR(4) , defined as undetectable molecular disease in cDNA with MR(4) sensitivity (>/=10 000 ABL1 transcripts) at 18 months and confirmed at 24 months (primary endpoint). Among patients without major molecular response (MMR) or deep molecular response (DMR) at study entry, 66.3% achieved MMR and 44.2% DMR within a median of 5.7 and 6.24 months, respectively. Fifty-three patients (36.3%) have prematurely terminated the study before 24 months of follow-up, primarily due to nilotinib treatment discontinuation (n = 43; 29.5%), mainly motivated by treatment intolerance (n = 27; 18.5%) and inefficacy (n = 10; 6.8%). The most frequent extra-haematological adverse events (AEs) reported as related to treatment with nilotinib were pruritus (16.4%), asthenia (13.7%) and dry skin (13.0%). Ischaemic cardiovascular AEs were reported in 18 patients (12.3%). This French nationwide large cohort adds valuable information to the body of evidence on the efficiency and safety of nilotinib in the treatment of patients with CP-CML.
