ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant hemopathy within the framework of chronic myeloproliferative syndromes, predominant on the granular line. Her drug treatment is based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) which inhibit the abnormal BCR-ABL protein kinase that causes CML and thus block the signals that cause cancer cells to multiply abnormally. However, other proteins are also inhibited, so they can cause a wide range of adverse effects (AEs). The objective of this study was to study the prevalence of AEs of TKIs used in the therapeutic management of CML by the hematology department of University Hospital Center (UHC) of Sidi Bel-Abbes in Algeria and that of the ITK discontinuation following an AE. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
It was a retrospective descriptive study carried out over a period of four months, from April 01st, 2021 to July 31st, 2021, on CML patients treated with TKI in the hematology department of Sidi Bel-Abbes HUC in Algeria. The primary outcome measure was the prevalence of AEs associated with the use of normal dosages or overdose of the following TKIs Imatinib, Dasatinib and Nilotinib. Data were collected from patient charts, filled by doctors of hematology department, using questionnaire, and analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 20.RESULTS:
A total of 40 patients were included, including 22 women, mean age 51.55±11.66years (23-78). Twenty-six patients reported at least one AE. Among the 106 AEs declared, 69 AEs (65.09 %) declared with Imatinib, 26 AEs (24.53 %) with Dasatinib and 11 AEs (10.38 %) with Nilotinib. A predominance of musculoskeletal effects 43 (40.56 %), followed by general disorders 18 (17 %), myelosuppression 14 (13.20 %) and digestive system 12 (11.32 %). AEs were responsible for permanent discontinuation of ITK in three cases (11.54 %), including two cases (07.70 %) on Imatinib because of neutropenia and one case (03.84 %) onDasatinibsuffering from pleural effusion. AEs could be controlled in 13 (50 %) of cases, including 9 (34.62%) by temporary discontinuation and 4 (15.38 %) by reducing the dosage, allowing improvement of symptoms and continuation or reintroduction of treatment.CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of AEs was high in the studied population, their occurrence was inevitable, good management of AEs from the start of treatment is necessary to avoid switching to another TKI, especially in good responders. It is recommended to establish a low-sodium diet beforehand for all TKIs and a low-carbohydrate diet, especially for Nilotinib, and not to rush to stop the TKI because most often, EIs regress over time in order to allow good therapeutic adherence and obtain better results.Palabras clave
