PG - 675609 LID - 10.3389/fonc.2021.675609 [doi] LID - 675609 AB - We analyzed demographic characteristics, comorbidities and patterns of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in a cohort of 3,633 incident cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) identified across France from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2014. Patients were identified through a specific algorithm in the French Healthcare Data System and were followed up 12 months after inclusion in the cohort. The estimated incidence rate of CML for this period in France was 1.37 per 100,000 person-years (95% Confidence Interval 1.36-1.38) and was higher in men, with a peak at age 75-79 years. At baseline, the median age of the cohort was 60 years (Inter Quartile Range 47-71), the Male/Female ratio was 1.2, and 25% presented with another comorbidity. Imatinib was the first-line TKI for 77.6% of the patients, followed by nilotinib (18.3%) and dasatinib (4.1%). Twelve months after initiation, 86% of the patients remained on the same TKI, 13% switched to another TKI and 1% received subsequently three different TKIs. During the follow-up, 23% discontinued and 52% suspended the TKI. Patients received a mean of 16.7 (Standard Deviation (SD) 9.6) medications over the first year of follow-up, and a mean of 2.7 (SD 2.3) concomitant medications on the day of first TKI prescription: 24.4% of the patients received allopurinol, 6.4% proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and 6.5% antihypertensive agents. When treatment with TKI was initiated, incident CML patients presented with comorbidities and polypharmacy, which merits attention because of the persistent use of these concomitant drugs and the potential increased risk of drug-drug interactions.
