    Abstract: Backgroud: Recent reports showing that imatinib (IM) discontinuation can be employed in patients who had enough IM therapy and undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) durations prior to IM discontinuation result in treatment-free remission (TFR) as a new therapeutic goal in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP CML). Although 50-70% of patients experienced molecular relapse by several TFR studies, the most of patients resumed molecular responses (MR) following restart of IM. Through the Korean multicenter prospective study (Korean Imatinib Discontinuation Study; KID Study), we have identified predictors for sustained UMRD and explored molecular kinetics after the first IM discontinuation. In patients regaining durable UMRD with IM resumption, we tried second IM discontinuation and compared molecular kinetics between the first IM stop and second IM stop. Methods: CP CML patients who were treated with IM for more than 3 years and had undetectable levels of BCR-ABL1 transcripts determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for at least 2 years were eligible for KID study and in cases of MMR loss after 2 consecutive assessments, IM treatment was re-introduced. After IM resumption for MMR loss, the molecular response was evaluated every month until MMR was re-achieved and every 3 months thereafter. The second stop was permitted in the patients who were in second UMRD for at least 2 years. Results: By the data cut-off date of 31 July 2015, among 90 non-transplant UMRD patients with at least 12 months of follow-up, 37 patients lost MMR in 2 consecutive analyses and resumed IM. Among them, 9 patients (5 men and 4 women) with a median age of 54 years (range, 35-59 years) entered into a second IM discontinuation after maintaining UMRD at least 2 years. Prior to first discontinuation, the median duration of IM therapy was 76.8 months (range, 38.5-129.0 months) and the duration of sustained UMRD was 30.1 months (range, 24.4-64.5 months). After first attempt of IM discontinuation, they relapsed after a median duration of 3.7 months (range, 1.9-20.8 months) and re-achieved UMRD at a median of 5.5 months (range, 1.8-9.4 months) after IM resumption. After sustaining a second UMRD for a median of 25.7 months, IM therapy discontinued for a second time. After a median follow-up of 37.4 months (range, 19.7-58.5 months) after second IM discontinuation, 7/9 patients (78%) and 4/9 patients (44%) lost UMRD and MMR, respectively. Among three patients who lost UMRD but not MMR, one patient showed fluctuation of BCR-ABL1 transcript under the level of 0.1% on IS for 19.5 months and two patients has not yet been followed up after a first detection of UMRD loss. Four patients who experienced second relapse (MMR loss) after a median 2.9 months (range, 2.7-3.9 months), which was similar to those of the first IM discontinuation [median 3.75 (range, 1.9-3.9 months)] . The patients who lost MMR were retreated with IM for a median of 13.6 months (range, 0.8-18.6 months); three patients re-achieved MMR at 3.5, 5.5, and 11.5 months, respectively and one re-achieved UMRD at 7.2 months. Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that a second attempt might be possible and the median time to MMR loss after second discontinuation was similar to those of the first discontinuation. But the molecular kinetics after second IM resumption needs longer follow-up with more patients. Further studies on the predictors to select patients for a trial of second TFR and novel strategies such as intermittent therapy will be warranted.

    Abstract: Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that early molecular milestones were able to identify high-risk chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with frontline imatinib (IM) and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (2G TKIs) such as nilotinib and dasatinib. However, whether a single measurement of BCR-ABL1 transcripts level after 3 months of treatment is sufficient to define failure necessitating a change of treatment is not confirmed. Radotinib (RAD) is a 2G TKI for BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase, which was approved by the Korea FDA for the second-line therapy, and the phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of RAD 300 and 400 mg twice daily and IM 400 mg once daily in patients with newly diagnosed CP CML was performed. The aim of this study was to identify the predictive value of 3-month molecular milestone for an achievement of major molecular response (MMR) by 12 months to RAD therapy. Additionally, in the same population, predictive factors for achieving MMR by 12 months were analyzed. Methods: Among 241 patients who were enrolled in the randomized, open-label, phase 3 study of RAD, 236 patients with available 3-month qRT-PCR on study therapy [RAD 300 mg twice (n = 79), RAD 400 mg twice (n = 79), IM 400 mg once (n = 78)] were evaluated. Molecular responses were monitored using a qRT-PCR assay in 3-month intervals by 12 months. All qRT-PCR were tested with at least 4.5-log sensitivity in the central laboratory (Cancer Research Institute, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea) and MMR was defined as a BCR-ABL1 transcript level of 0.1% or lower on the international scale (IS). Results: 236 patients (including 149 men and 87 women) with available 3-month qRT-PCR on study therapy were evaluated. With a median age of 45 years (range, 18-84 years), the distribution of low, intermediate and high Sokal risk scores were 27%, 47% and 26%, respectively. At 3 months, BCR-ABL1 ≤10% [RAD 300 mg twice (n = 68), RAD 400 mg twice (n = 69), IM 400 mg once (n = 55)] and 〉 10% [RAD 300 mg twice (n = 11), RAD 400 mg twice (n = 10), IM 400 mg once (n = 23)] were observed. In the IM 400 mg once group, patients with BCR-ABL1 ≤10% at 3 months showed a significant higher rate of MMR by 12 months compared with that of patients with BCR-ABL1 〉 10% (38.2% vs 13.0%, P = 0.028). In the RAD 300 and 400 mg twice group, an achievement of 3-month EMR was associated with a higher rate of MMR by 12 months [57.4% vs 18.2%, P = 0.016 (RAD 300 mg twice) and 50.7% vs 10.0%, P = 0.018 (RAD 400 mg twice)]. After adjusting for factors affecting achievement of MMR by 12 months on univariate analyses, multivariate analyses showed that b2a2 transcript type (RR of 0.46, P = 0.023), large spleen size (RR of 0.91, P = 0.001), and no achievement of 3-month EMR (RR of 0.24, P = 0.004) were predictor for not achieving MMR by 12 months. Significance of 3-month EMR for achieving MMR by 12 months was observed in the separated treatment groups: RR of 0.24, P = 0.037 in the IM 400 mg once group, RR of 0.17 P = 0.028 in the RAD 300 mg twice group, and RR of 0.11, P = 0.040 in the RAD 400 mg twice group. Conclusions: Our results suggest that 3-month EMR can play key roles for 12-month MMR achievement in CP CML patients treated with IM and RAD. In addition, some factors for achieving 12-month MMR were detected. To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of 3-month EMR, further clinical investigations in a larger patient population with longer follow-up are needed.

    Abstract: We previously reported the interim analysis on the clinical outcome of nilotinib (Tasigna®, Novartis Pharma, Basel, Switzerland), when combined with multi-agent chemotherapy for newly diagnosed Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) in adults. Herein, we reported the final results of the multicenter prospective phase2 trial of Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Working Party, the Korean Society of Hematology. Newly diagnosed Ph+ALL patients aged 18 years old or more were eligible when they had adequate organ function. Diagnosis of Ph+ALL was performed via confirmation of the presence of Ph chromosome by conventional GTL-band technique, and/or positive molecular analysis with nested RT PCR for detection of BCR-ABL fusion transcripts. Written informed consent was obtained from all subjects. All patients received induction treatment consisting of vincristine, daunorubicin, oral or parenteral prednisolone, and nilotinib. After achieving complete remission (CR), subjects received either 5 courses of consolidation followed by 2-year maintenance with nilotinib, or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) depending on the donor availability, his/her tolerability, and patient’s wish. Nilotinib was administered twice a day with a single dose of 400mg (800mg per day) from day8 of induction until the initiation of conditioning for alloHCT or the end of maintenance therapy. Minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring was performed at the central lab with quantitative RT-PCR assays for peripheral blood BCR-ABL RNA using LightCycler® Technology in serial; at the time of diagnosis, at hematologic CR(HCR), and every 3 months thereafter. BCR-ABL quantification was expressed relative to the amount of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) mRNA. The molecular response was defined as complete (MCR, MRD-negative) if the BCR-ABL/G6PDH ratio was less than 1x10-6. Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (version 2.0). Subjects had been followed up for 2 years after alloHCT or during maintenance therapy. Data were frozen up in June, 2013. A total of 91 subjects (male: female = 45: 46) were enrolled onto the study between January 2009 and May 2012. The median age was 47 (range 18-71) years old. Type of BCR breakpoint was minor (e1a2) in 71% of patients. The median BCR-ABL/G6PDH ratio was 6.09 (bone marrow) and 3.28 (peripheral blood) at diagnosis. During induction, all subjects required blood product transfusion, and incidence of nonhematologic adverse events (AE) over grade 3 was 17% (jaundice), 18% (ALT elevation), 13% (lipase elevation), and 2% (pancreatitis). Neither QTc prolongation over 500ms nor significant arrhythmia happened among any subject and any cycle. HCR rate was 90% and median time to HCR was 27 days (range, 13-72); most of failure was due to death in aplasia (n=8). MCR rate at HCR was 55%, Cumulative MCR rate was 84%, and median time to MCR was 1.1 months (range, 0.6-15.8). Most common cause of dropout from study was treatment-related death (n=22; during induction/consolidation vs. after alloHCT = 12 vs. 10), and HREL (n=15). Nilotinib was interrupted 75 times among 64 subjects, reduced 14 times among 12 subjects, and discontinued permanently due to hematologic relapse (HREL, n=14), AE (n=6, over gr3:3), and other cause (n=2). Fifty nine patients underwent alloHCT, 34 with myeloablative and 25 with reduced-intensity conditioning. Incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD were 41% and 29%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 20.7 months of surviving subjects, estimated hematologic relapse-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years were 74% and 70%, respectively. Among subject achieving MCR, 2-year molecular RFS rate was 56%. When events were defined as ‘dropout due to AE, isolated molecular / extramedullary relapse, HREL, and death from any cause’, median event-free survival was 12.5 months. In this prospective study, nilotinib was shown to be effective for adult Ph+ALL, and concurrent administration of nilotinib with cytotoxic drug was well-tolerable, although death in aplasia during induction was the most common cause of failure of achieving HCR. In terms of MRD, potential of nilotinib to achieve and maintain MRD negativity were satisfactory (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00844298). Disclosures: Off Label Use: Nilotinib for Ph+ALL-sientific and academic purpose.

    Abstract: Approximately 50% of CP CML patients achieve undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) at 6-7 years of first-line imatinib (IM) therapy. Although imatinib therapy is effective in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients and a substantial portion of patients achieve UMRD with prolonged IM therapy, up to 10^7 leukemic cells can still be present in the absence of detectable BCR-ABL1 in RQ-PCR assay due to the sensitivity limit of current RQ-PCR technology. The recent several reports to assess whether IM can be discontinued in CML patients have shown that IM discontinuation can be employed based on clinical study in patients who had enough IM therapy and UMRD durations prior to IM discontinuation. In our previous report, the 12-month probability of sustained UMRD of 48 patients was 80.8% (78.4% in 37 patients with at least 12 months follow-up), a higher rate than that reported by the ‘STIM’ (Stop Imatinib) trial. To identify predictors for safer, successful IM discontinuation and to explore additional contributing factors for sustained molecular responses (MRs), this multicenter prospective Korean Imatinib Discontinuation Study (KIDS) is on-going. Methods Patients who were treated with IM for more than 3 years and whose BCR-ABL1 was undetectable in RQ-PCR for at least 2 years were enrolled in this study. After discontinuation, molecular response was monitored using RQ-PCR assay every month up to 6 month follow-up, every 2 months up to 12 month follow-up, and every 3 months thereafter. In case of relapse, defined as loss of MMR on 2 consecutive assessments, IM therapy was re-introduced and molecular response after resumption was observed every month using RQ-PCR. Our primary objectives were to evaluate the probability of persistent UMRD at 12 month follow-up after discontinuation, and to measure the duration of persistent UMRD after discontinuation. The secondary objective was to evaluate the probability of major molecular response (MMR) loss and the time taken to lose MMR after discontinuation. Results Of the 100 patients who were screened for KIDS, 22 patients have failed because of positive result of RQ-PCR tested in the central laboratory (N= 15, 69%), failure to meet inclusion criteria (N=4, 18%) and informed consents withdrawal (N=3, 13%).As of data cut-off date of 10 July 2013, a total of 78 patients (42 females, 36 males) who were diagnosed between 26 Feb 1998 and 11 Dec 2009 were enrolled on KIDS, with a median age of 45 years (range, 19 – 82), the percentages of patients with low, intermediate and high Sokal risk scores were 37%, 29% and 13%, respectively with unknown Sokal risk scores in 18%. And the median time on IM therapy and the median duration of sustained UMRD were 85 months (range, 38 – 141) and 44 months (range, 23 – 114), respectively, prior to discontinuation. With a median follow-up of 14 months (range, 0.3 – 33.5), the 12-month probability of sustained MMR and UMRD were 78.5% ± 5.3% and 78.5% ± 5.1%, respectively. All patients with MMR loss were in non-transplant group, whereas none of the 21 patients in the transplant group experienced MMR loss. The probability of sustained MMR and UMRD in non-transplant group were 67.3% ± 7.7% and 68.5% ± 7.0%, respectively. Nine of 13 patients who lost MMR were resumed IM with a median time of 15 months (range, 0.1 - 22.3 months). All 9 patients, who resumed IM, re-achieved MMR at a median of 3 months (range, 1.4 - 4.7 months) after resuming IM therapy and re-achieved UMRD at a median of 7.5 months (range, 3.3 - 13.3 months). Univariate analysis of factors affecting loss of MMR showed that IM therapy duration and UMRD duration before treatment discontinuation had a higher 12-month probability of sustained MMR. Conclusions Our updated data shows lower relapse rate after discontinuation compared to previous discontinuation studies. In particular, the rate of screening failure due to positive result of RQ-PCR tested in the central laboratory implied that strict PCR sensitivity criteria is important for safer, successful IM discontinuation.

    Abstract: Background: In RERISE phase 3 study, radotinib demonstrated significantly higher and faster rates of major molecular response (MMR) than imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP. By 36 months follow up, MMR (BCR-ABL1IS ≤ 0.1%) and MR4.5 (BCR-ABL1IS ≤ 0.0032%) in radotinib 300 mg twice daily (bid) were higher than imatinib group. Also, early molecular response (EMR) at 3 months could predict better long term outcomes in both radotinib and imatinib groups. Here, authors updated 48 months long-term benefits and risks of 300mg bid and imatinib 400mg qd from RERISE phase 3 study (NCT01511289). Methods: RERISE study was randomized trial of radotinib 300 mg bid (n=79), radotinib 400 mg bid (n=81), or imatinib 400 mg once daily (qd) (n=81) in patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP. We evaluated long-term MMR and MR4.5, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) including safety data by 48 months. Results: At the study completion, 53% of patients with radotinib and 44% of patients with imatinib treated were remained. MMR and MR4.5 continued to be higher in patients receiving radotinib 300 mg bid compared with imatinib 400mg qd (Table). Especially, MMR rate by 48 months was significantly higher for radotinib compared to imatinib (76% vs 56%; P=0.0070, Figure). Also, early molecular response (EMR) at 3 months were observed in 86% of patients in the radotinib 300 mg bid group and 68% in the imatinib group (P = 0.0179). More patients treated with radotinib 300mg bid who had EMR at 3 months achieved MMR and MR4.5 by 48 months: 84% and 53% in the radotinib 300 mg bid group and 71% and 44% in the imatinib group, respectively. 48 months estimated OS and PFS rate were not significantly different in two groups (99% vs 94%; P=0.3224, 97% vs 94%; P=0.4328). Treatment failure was lower in radotinib group compared with imatinib group (Table). The safety profiles were consistent with those previously reported and most of adverse events (AEs) developed within 12 months. No new or unexpected safety events were reported in both arms by 48 months and no serious CVE related with radotinib reported. Conclusions: With a minimum 48 months follow-up, radotinib continued to demonstrate higher rates of MMR and MR4.5 than imatinib in newly diagnosed CML-CP. Also, these responses with radotinib were earlier and deeper compared with imatinib. Up to 48 months, no new and serious safety events related with radotinib reported. These results demonstrate that radotinib may have higher possibility of treatment- free remission (TFR) on frontline therapy as well as it can be one of the standards of care in newly diagnosed CML-CP.

    Abstract: Background Radotinib is a second generation BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) developed by IL-YANG Pharm. Co., Ltd (Seoul, South Korea) and approved by the Korea FDA for the treatment of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) patients who have failed prior TKIs. We conducted the randomized, open-label, phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of radotinib, as compared with imatinib, for the first-line treatment of newly diagnosed CML-CP. Methods Based on baseline demographics and Sokal risk score, 241 patients were randomized 1:1:1 to radotinib 300 mg twice daily (bid) (n=79), radotinib 400 mg bid (n=81), or imatinib 400 mg once daily (qd) (n=81). The primary endpoint was the rate of major molecular response (MMR) by 12 months and molecular response was assessed by RQ-PCR at baseline and every 3 months. Secondary endpoints were the rate of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), MR4.5 by 12 months, and the rate of progression to accelerate phase or blast crisis. Results All three study groups were well balanced with baseline age, gender, race and Sokal risk score. With minimum follow-up of 12 months, the proportions of patients receiving a study drug were 86.3% (69/79) in radotinib 300 mg bid group, 71.6% (58/81) in radotinib 400 mg bid group, and 81.5% (66/81) in imatinib 400 mg qd group. By 12 months, rates of MMR were significantly higher in patients receiving radotinib 300 mg bid (51.9%, P = .0044) and radotinib 400 mg bid (45.7%, P = .0342) compared with imatinib (29.6%). The median time to MMR among responders were shorter on radotinib 300 mg bid (5.7 months) and radotinib 400 mg bid (5.6 months) than imatinib group (8.2 months). The MR4.5 rates by 12 months were also higher for both radotinib 300 mg bid (15.2%) and 400 mg bid (13.6%) compared to imatinib (8.6%). The CCyR rates by 12 months were also higher for radotinib 300 mg bid (91.1%, P = .0120) compared with imatinib (76.5%). There was no progression to accelerated phase or blast crisis in all groups by 12 months. Discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs) or laboratory abnormalities occurred in 7 (8.8%), 16 (19.8%), and 5 (6.2%) patients for radotinib 300 mg bid, radotinib 400 mg bid and imatinib, respectively. Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 16.5% of patients receiving radotinib 300 mg bid, in 13.6% for radotinib 400 mg bid, and in 19.8% receiving imatinib. And grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 19.0%, 23.5%, and 29.6% for radotinib 300 mg bid, 400 mg bid and imatinib, respectively. The most common any grade non-laboratory AEs were skin rash (35.4% and 33.3%), nausea/vomiting (22.8% and 23.5%), headache (19.0% and 30.9%), and pruritus (19.0% and 30.0%) in radotinib 300 mg bid and radotinib 400 mg bid, respectively; AEs in the imatinib group were edema (34.6%), myalgia (28.4%), nausea/vomiting (27.2%), and skin rash (22.2%). Overall, grade 3/4 non-laboratory AEs were uncommon in all groups. Conclusions With minimum 12 months follow-up, radotinib demonstrated significantly higher and faster rates of CCyR and MMR than imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP. The safety profiles of the radotinib and imatinib were different, and most AEs were manageable with optimal dose reduction. The results of this trial support that radotinib can be one of the standard of care in newly diagnosed CML-CP. Table.

    Abstract: Background Approximately 50% of CP CML patients achieve undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) at 6-7 years of first-line imatinib (IM) therapy. Although imatinib therapy is effective in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients and a substantial portion of patients achieve UMRD with prolonged IM therapy, up to 10^7 leukemic cells can still be present in the absence of detectable BCR-ABL1 in RQ-PCR assay due to the sensitivity limit of current RQ-PCR technology. The recent several reports to assess whether IM can be discontinued in CML patients have shown that IM discontinuation can be employed based on clinical study in patients who had enough IM therapy and UMRD durations prior to IM discontinuation. In our previous report, the 12-month probability of sustained UMRD of 48 patients was 80.8% (78.4% in 37 patients with at least 12 months follow-up), a higher rate than that reported by the ‘STIM’ (Stop Imatinib) trial. To identify predictors for safer, successful IM discontinuation and to explore additional contributing factors for sustained molecular responses (MRs), this multicenter prospective Korean Imatinib Discontinuation Study (KIDS) is on-going. Methods Patients who were treated with IM for more than 3 years and whose BCR-ABL1 was undetectable in RQ-PCR for at least 2 years were enrolled in this study. After discontinuation, molecular response was monitored using RQ-PCR assay every month up to 6 month follow-up, every 2 months up to 12 month follow-up, and every 3 months thereafter. In case of relapse, defined as loss of MMR on 2 consecutive assessments, IM therapy was re-introduced and molecular response after resumption was observed every month using RQ-PCR. Our primary objectives were to evaluate the probability of persistent UMRD at 12 month follow-up after discontinuation, and to measure the duration of persistent UMRD after discontinuation. The secondary objective was to evaluate the probability of major molecular response (MMR) loss and the time taken to lose MMR after discontinuation. Results Of the 148 patients who were screened for KIDS, 30 patients have failed because of positive result of RQ-PCR tested in the central laboratory (N= 21, 70%), failure to meet inclusion criteria (N=7, 23%) and informed consents withdrawal (N=2, 7%). As of data cut-off date of 2 July 2014, a total of 115 patients (66 females, 49 males) who were diagnosed between 20 Mar 1996 and 12 Jul 2012 were enrolled on KIDS, with a median age of 44 years (range, 19 – 77), the percentages of patients with low, intermediate and high Sokal risk scores were 35%, 25% and 17%, respectively with unknown Sokal risk scores in 23%. And the median time on IM therapy and the median duration of sustained UMRD prior to discontinuation were 84 months (range, 32 – 149) and 44 months (range, 22 – 131), respectively. With a median follow-up of 15 months (range, 0.2 – 45.4), 28 patients loss MMR and the probability of sustained MMR was 73.5 ± 4.3%. The 12-month probability of sustained MMR was 67.0 ± 5.2%. Among 21 patients who lost UMRD without confirmed MMR loss, 10 spontaneously re-achieved UMRD, 2 fluctuated BCR-ABL1 transcript under MMR and 9 continuously increase BCR-ABL1 transcript. All of 28 patients who confirmed MMR loss were re-treated with IM for a median of 9.9 months (range, 0.7 – 34.2 months), 22 patients re-achieved MMR at a median of 4.1 months (range, 0.5 - 6.5 months) after resuming IM therapy and 14 of these patients re-achieved UMRD at a median of 6.7 months (range, 3.3 - 13.3 months). One patient, who lost MMR at 7.6 months after KIDS enrollment, resuming IM for 26.7 months and sustained UMRD for 23.9 months, currently discontinues IM therapy (KIDS2) with the follow up of 6.5 months. Univariate analysis showed that IM duration and UMRD duration before treatment discontinuation had a higher 12-month probability of sustained MMR. Conclusions Based on results, IM discontinuation with resuming after MMR loss can be applied safely. In particular, the rate of screening failure due to positive result of RQ-PCR tested in the central laboratory implied that a strict PCR sensitivity criterion is important for safer, successful IM discontinuation. Overall, both UMRD and IM duration on treatment were the most important predictors for successful IM-off. Further studies on underlying mechanisms about immunological control, minimal residual leukemia and stem cell biology during TKI-off study should be conducted.
