RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Treatment-free survival (TFS) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a new goal. This prospective study aims to evaluate imatinib discontinuation's feasibility and safety in patients with deep molecular response MR4 (BCR-ABL1 < 0.01 % IS). METHODS: Study was approved by the ethical committee and registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03239886). Incluision criteria were: age ≥ 18y, chronic phase, first-line imatinib for 36 months, MR4 for 12 months, no previous transplant or resistance. Imatinib was resumed when two samples confirmed the loss of MMR. The primary endpoint was molecular recurrence-free survival (MRFS) at 24 months. Lymphocyte subpopulations were counted in peripheral blood before discontinuation. RESULTS: 31 patients were included from Dec/2016 until Oct/2017. Median age was 54years, 58 % male, 58 % low Sokal, 65 % b3a2 transcripts, and 61 % were in MR4.5. Imatinib therapy's median time was 9.7y (3-14.9 y), median time of MR4 was 6.9y (1.6-10.3y). MRFS at 24 months was 55 % (95 % CI 39-75). Thirteen patients relapsed, 46 % after six months of discontinuation, and all patients recovered MMR. Median time to recover MMR was one month. MR4.5 was the only factor associated with MRFS. NK cells proportion at baseline was lower in patients with only MR4 who relapsed after discontinuation. CONCLUSION: With a median duration of sustained MR4 above five years, as recommended by most TKI discontinuation guidelines, the TFS was similar to previous studies. Only MR4.5 was associated with lower risk of relapse. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether patients with only MR4 and low NK cell levels are suitable for discontinuation.

RESUMO

This observational, multicenter study aimed to report the clinical evolution of COVID-19 in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in Latin America. A total of 92 patients presented with COVID-19 between March and December 2020, 26% of whom were severe or critical. The median age at COVID-19 diagnosis was 48 years (22-79 years), 32% were 60 years or older, and 61% were male. Thirty-nine patients presented with at least one comorbidity (42.3%). Eighty-one patients recovered (88%), and 11 (11.9%) died from COVID-19. There was one case of reinfection. Patients with a major molecular response presented superior overall survival compared to patients with no major molecular response (91 vs. 61%, respectively; p = 0.004). Patients in treatment-free remission and receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors showed higher survival rates than patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and those who did not receive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (100, 89, 50, and 33%, respectively; p < 0.001).
