PG - 1-8 LID - 10.1253/circrep.CR-21-0140 [doi] AB - Background: Despite the beneficial effects of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), they may also cause adverse events (AEs), especially cardiovascular toxicity. The incidence of TKI-induced AEs may vary among ethnic groups, and there is little specific information for Japanese patients. Methods and Results: Sixty-nine consecutive patients who were started on treatment with dasatinib (n=25) or imatinib (n=44) for CML or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) between December 2008 and December 2019 were retrospectively recruited to the study. We determined the prevalence of AEs through October 2020 and compared the incidence of AEs between the 2 drugs. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the 2 groups. However, compared with the imatinib-treated group, the dasatinib-treated group had a higher incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF; 20.0% vs. 2.3%; P=0.04), pleural effusion (48% vs. 20.5%; P=0.03), pericardial effusion (24% vs. 4.6%; P=0.02), QT prolongation (4 vs. 0 patients; P=0.02), and pulmonary hypertension (3 vs. 0 patients; P=0.04). In the dasatinib-treated group, CHF tended to be associated with tricuspid valve regurgitation pressure gradient, and pleural effusion was observed in all patients. All-cause mortality and other cardiovascular events did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Cardiotoxic AEs occurred more frequently in Japanese patients with CML and GIST treated with dasatinib than imatinib. CI - Copyright (c) 2022, THE JAPANESE CIRCULATION SOCIETY.
