ABSTRACT
We conducted a retrospective study on 51 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase or accelerated phase. The patients were classified into the IMA group (N = 33), treated with imatinib, and the DSA group (N = 18), treated with dasatinib, as front-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). At 12 months, the rates of complete cytogenetic response were similar between the IMA group (92.3%) and DSA group (100%) (p = 0.305). However, the rate of early molecular response was higher in the DSA group than in the IMA group (100.0% vs. 80.0%, p = 0.043). By 12 and 24 months, the DSA group showed faster and higher cumulative rates of both major (DSA group 72.2% and 100%, respectively; IMA group 41.2% and 68.7%, respectively; p = 0.002) and deep molecular responses (DSA group 26.0% and 43.6%, respectively; IMA group 13.8% and 17.5%, respectively; p = 0.004). Both TKIs were well tolerated. Although the height standard deviation scores decreased in both groups, the height decline was greater in the DSA group between one and two years from the start of TKI therapy. In this study, dasatinib achieved faster and higher molecular responses with an acceptable safety profile. Further follow-up is necessary to assess the long-term outcomes of TKI treatment in children.
