A Pragmatic Approach to Managing Long-Term Adverse Effects in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

A Pragmatic Approach to Managing Long-Term Adverse Effects in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment Purpose of ReviewLong-term outcomes have significantly improved with treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. With proper treatment, most patients will achieve similar survival rates compared to an age-matched population. Treatment-free remission is not attainable for over half of patients and chronic treatment carries with it unique challenges. We provide a pragmatic approach to the monitoring and management of chronic adverse effects (AEs).Recent FindingsIn the presence of severe or intolerable AEs, switching tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is reasonable but is not without risk. Dose reductions can be attempted when response is stable to reduce AE intensity. More frequent molecular monitoring with any change is essential.SummaryTreatment strategies must adapt to the personalized treatment goal of each patient. Long-term survival remains good even when response is less than a complete molecular response.

Abstract

Purpose of ReviewLong-term outcomes have significantly improved with treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. With proper treatment, most patients will achieve similar survival rates compared to an age-matched population. Treatment-free remission is not attainable for over half of patients and chronic treatment carries with it unique challenges. We provide a pragmatic approach to the monitoring and management of chronic adverse effects (AEs).Recent FindingsIn the presence of severe or intolerable AEs, switching tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is reasonable but is not without risk. Dose reductions can be attempted when response is stable to reduce AE intensity. More frequent molecular monitoring with any change is essential.SummaryTreatment strategies must adapt to the personalized treatment goal of each patient. Long-term survival remains good even when response is less than a complete molecular response. Consider risks of new AEs when changing therapy and evaluate for dose reductions when appropriate.
