Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with an annual incidence of two cases/100 000. It accounts for approximately 15% of newly diagnosed cases of leukemia in adults. CML is characterized by a balanced genetic translocation, t(9;22) (q34;q11.2), involving a fusion of the Abelson murine leukemia (ABL1) gene from chromosome 9q34 with the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) gene on chromosome 22q11.2. This rearrangement is known as the Philadelphia chromosome. The molecular consequence of this translocation is the generation of a BCR::ABL1 fusion oncogene, which in turn translates into a BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein. Four tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and nilotinib, are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for first-line treatment of newly diagnosed CML in the chronic phase (CML-CP). Clinical trials with second and third-generation TKIs in frontline CML-CP therapy reported significantly deeper and faster responses but had no impact on survival prolongation, likely because of their potent efficacy and the availability of effective TKIs salvage therapies for patients who have a cytogenetic relapse with frontline TKI therapy. All four TKIs are equivalent if the aim of therapy is to improve survival. In younger patients with high-risk disease and in whom the aim of therapy is to induce a treatment-free remission status, second-generation TKIs may be favored. For CML post-failure on frontline therapy, second-line options include second and third-generation TKIs. Although potent and selective, these TKIs exhibit unique pharmacological profiles and response patterns relative to different patient and disease characteristics, such as patients' comorbidities and financial status, disease stage, and BCR::ABL1 mutational status. Patients who develop the T315I "gatekeeper" mutation display resistance to all currently available TKIs except ponatinib, asciminib, and olverembatinib. Allogeneic stem cell tr
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has an annual incidence of 2 cases per 100 000 people and is newly diagnosed in approximately 9300 individuals per year in the US. Approximately 150 000 people in the US and 5 million worldwide have CML. Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome, which is defined by the BCR::ABL1 oncogene that develops after fusion of the ABL1 proto-oncogene to the constitutively active BCR gene. Approximately 90% of people with CML present with an indolent chronic phase of CML, defined as blasts of less than 10% in the blood or bone marrow, absence of extramedullary evidence of leukemia, basophils of less than 20%, and platelet counts of 100 to 1000 × 109/L. The most advanced stage is CML blastic phase (CML-BP), characterized by the World Health Organization as 20% or more blasts/immature cells and by the MD Anderson Cancer Center and European LeukemiaNet as 30% or more. Approximately 1% to 2% of patients with CML present with CML-BP. Since 2000, first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting BCR::ABL1, such as imatinib, and second-generation TKIs, such as bosutinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib, have improved CML-related mortality from 10% to 20% per year to 1% to 2% per year, such that patients with CML have survival rates similar to those of a general age-matched population. Six BCR::ABL1 TKIs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, including 5 that are first-line treatment (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib, and asciminib) and 5 approved for treatment after disease progression despite initial therapy (dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib, ponatinib, asciminib). Effects on improved survival are similar with all TKIs, although more patients are able to promptly achieve and maintain BCR::ABL1 clearance with second- and third-generation TKIs. Medication adherence is important to maintain treatment responsiveness. All TKIs are associated with he
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has an annual incidence of approximately two cases per 100,000. The reduction in annual mortality from 10%-20% to 1% with BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has resulted in an increased prevalence in the United States of an estimated 150,000 cases in 2025. This translates into a worldwide estimated prevalence of approximately 5 million cases, and hence the need to make TKIs available and affordable to all patients. The four main goals of CML therapy are to (1) improve survival; (2) achieve a durable deep molecular response, which may lead to a treatment-free remission status; (3) reduce short- and long-term side effects; and (4) provide good treatment value. Today, the six approved BCR::ABL1 TKIs, five in frontline therapy (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib, and asciminib) and all six in later line therapy (including ponatinib), fulfill in one form or another these requirements. Third-generation TKIs that target the ABL1 kinase domain (olverembatinib and ELVN-001) or the myristoyl pocket (TGRX-678 and TERN-701) are under development. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a one-time, cost-effective, curative treatment in patients with CML resistant to second-generation TKIs, which is perhaps surprisingly underused in 2025, given the high enthusiasm for it before the development of TKIs. However, serious complications, such as graft-vs-host disease, or death could occur. This review summarizes relevant information concerning the management of CML in 2025, and addresses some CML treatment pathways that became entrenched in the management of CML in the first 15-20 years of TKI experience, which may need to be revisited.
The administration of antifungals for therapeutic and, especially, prophylactic purposes is virtually a constant in patients requiring hematology-oncology treatment. Any attempt to prevent or treat Aspergillus or Mucor infections requires the administration of some drugs in the azole group, which include voriconazole, posaconazole and isavuconazole, noted for their activity against these pathogens. One very relevant aspect is the potential risk of interaction when associated with one of the antineoplastic drugs used to treat hematologic tumors, with serious complications. In this regard, acalabrutinib, bortezomib, bosutinib, carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A, dasatinib, duvelisib, gilteritinib, glasdegib, ibrutinib, imatinib, nilotinib, ponatinib, prednisone, ruxolitinib, tacrolimus, all-transretinoic acid, arsenic trioxide, venetoclax, or any of the vinca alkaloids, are very clear examples of risk, in some cases because their clearance is reduced and in others because of increased risk of QTc prolongation, which is particularly evident when the drug of choice is voriconazole or posaconazole. La administración de antifúngicos con fines terapéuticos y especialmente, profilácticos es casi un constante en el paciente que precisa tratamiento oncohematológico. El intento de evitar o de tratar infecciones por Aspergillus o por Mucor exige la administración de algunos fármacos pertenecientes al grupo de los azoles, entre los que destacan por su actividad frente a estos patógenos, voriconazol, posaconazol e isavuconazol. Un aspecto de gran importancia es el riesgo potencial de interacciones cuando se asocian a alguno de los fármacos antineoplásico utilizados en el tratamiento de los tumores hematológicos, dando lugar a graves complicaciones. En este sentido, acalabrutinib, bortezomid, bosutinib, carfizolid, ciclofosfamida, ciscloporina A, dasatinib, duvelisib, gilteritinib, glasdegib, ibrutinib, imatinib, nilotinib, ponatinib, prednisona, ruxolitinib, tacrolimus
