[Title] Phase I/II study of subcutaneous homoharringtonine in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who have failed prior therapy.

Intravenous HHT has demonstrated activity in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after failure with interferon.

METHODS: A Phase I study was completed of subcutaneous (s.c.

) HHT in patients with CML in accelerated or blast phases and demonstrated efficacy and good tolerance at the same doses used by intravenous (i.v.) administration.

The cohort was then expanded to treated at the MTD to include patients in late chronic phase CML after imatinib failure.

The 2 patients with BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations at the start of therapy with HHT had a CG response and in both instances the mutations became undetectable.

CONCLUSIONS: Subcutaneous HHT is well tolerated and may have clinical activity in patients with CML after imatinib failure.

[Title] The growth factor independence-1 (Gfi1) is overexpressed in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

The activation of ABL tyrosine kinase in BCR/ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) leads to a diversity of biological changes related to the pathogenesis of the disease.

In CML patients, we determined the expression of growth factor independence-1 (Gfi1), a transcription repressor with weak oncogenic activity.

Our data demonstrated that the Gfi1 mRNA level in both the mononuclear cells and purified CD34(+) cells from CML were significantly higher as measured by quantitative real-time PCR.

Using flow cytometry and Western blot, we also showed that the Gfi1 protein content was increased in CML CD34(+) cells.

The expression of Gfi1 was correlated with BCR/ABL significantly.

Gfi1 may be implicated in the pathogenesis of CML and can serve as a potential target for the management of the disease.

[Title] Clinico-pathological features and outcomes in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with hydroxyurea.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinico-pathological features and major outcomes in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic phase, treated with hydroxyurea.

The median age at diagnosis was 39 years (range 11 to 66 years).

The median delay in diagnosis was 156 days (range 30 to 360 days).

LDH values above 1,000 ug/l were observed in 38 (21.5%) cases and creatinine above 1.5 ug/l in 21 (12%) cases.

All patients tested, were positive for Philadelphia chromosome and bcr-abl transcripts.

At the close of the study, disease advancement was observed in 76 (43.2%) cases, of which 35 (20%) transformed to acute leukemia.

One hundred and two (58.4%) patients were in chronic phase, 22 (12.5%) in accelerated phase and 19 (10.7%) in blast crisis.

Disease progression remained the major cause of death and was seen in 29 (16.4%) patients.

CONCLUSION: In the study population, CML was observed in a younger age group with significant delay in definitive diagnosis.

[Title] A comparison of donor lymphocyte infusions or imatinib mesylate for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia who have relapsed after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Imatinib mesylate is highly effective in relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

The outcome of CML patients transplanted at our center who had received only imatinib for relapse after HSCT was compared with that of patients treated with donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI).

Imatinib therapy resulted in a higher incidence of relapse and inferior leukemia-free survival (p=0.006 and p=0.016, respectively).

The chimeric BCR-ABL gene, originated by the Philadelphia chromosome, encodes a fusion protein, BCR-ABL, bearing unregulated tyrosine kinase activity, the pivotal pathogenetic step of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Imatinib, an inhibitor of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, significantly improves the outcome of patients with CML.

Although the majority of CML patients are responsive to imatinib, a subset of patients loses the response and some progress to accelerated- or blast-phase CML.

The understanding of mechanisms of imatinib resistance has led to the development of novel BCR-ABL inhibitors; among these, dasatinib emerged as the most promising, being approximately 300-fold more potent than imatinib; it also inhibits SRC family kinases.

Preliminary data, after the introduction of dasatinib in clinical trials, in patients with CML, suggest that this drug is safe and well tolerated; furthermore, the majority of patients with imatinib-resistant disease achieved objective responses, although the durability of responses remains to be defined.

The preclinical data concerning its activity on several human solid tumor lines widen new opportunities for their use outside CML.

[Title] Nilotinib is superior to imatinib as first-line therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia: the ENESTnd study.

Nilotinib (Tasigna(®)) is a more potent BCR-ABL inhibitor than imatinib and was designed to overcome imatinib's deficiencies.

Nilotinib has significant efficacy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase, accelerated phase and blastic phase, following imatinib failure.

Based on the results of the Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in Clinical Trials-Newly Diagnosed Patients (ENESTnd) study, the US FDA has granted accelerated approval of nilotinib for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML in chronic phase.

Nilotinib, a designer agent built on the imatinib scaffold, has proven superior to its template agent by every significant surrogate marker we use in monitoring CML.

Nilotinib's clinical superiority over imatinib, as demonstrated by the ENESTnd study, has established it as an agent that we believe is a significant further step towards the cure of CML.

[Title] Safety and efficacy of an indigenous recombinant interferon-alpha-2b in patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia: results of a multicentre trial from India.

BACKGROUND: Compared to hydroxyurea, treatment with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) is known to prolong survival in patients with chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) and was considered as first-line therapy till recently.

We conducted a multicentre trial using an indigenous recombinant IFN-alpha-2b to evaluate its efficacy and toxicity in chronic phase CML.

METHODS: Between September 2000 and August 2001, patients with chronic phase CML were recruited within 8 weeks of diagnosis at 7 centres in India.

All patients were given the study drug in a dose of 5 million units daily subcutaneously.

Nineteen patients had progression (blast crisis n=15, accelerated phase n=4) while on treatment.

Currently, 95 patients are alive, 91 in the chronic phase and 4 in the accelerated phase.

Four patients were lost to follow up and all 15 patients with blast crisis died of progressive disease at a median Interval of 6.5 months (range 1-15 months).

CONCLUSION: This study confirms the efficacy of the indigenous recombinant IFN-alpha-2b in chronic phase CML.

[Title] Chronic myeloid leukemia blast crisis arises from progenitors.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) progresses through three distinct clinical stages: chronic phase, accelerated phase, and blast crisis.

The progression to accelerated phase and blast crisis is driven by activation of oncogenes, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and/or amplification of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, which causes the chronic phase of the disease.

Here, I develop a simple mathematical model of CML blast crisis to investigate whether blasts arise from leukemic stem cells or more differentiated leukemic cells.

[Title] Summary of 615 patients of chronic myeloid leukemia in Shanghai from 2001 to 2006.

BACKGROUND: To retrospectively review the incidence, treatment efficacy, we followed up newly diagnosed chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients residing in Shanghai during 2001-2006.

CML mainly afflicted those aged 40-60 years old and was slightly more frequent in males than females.

More than 85% of the patients were in chronic phase (CP) when diagnosed.

With the median follow-up of 18 months, imatinib treatment induced 92.2% complete hematologic responses, and 64.3% complete cytogenetic responses among CML-CP patients.

Meanwhile, in the imatinib group, all response rates of patients in CP were significantly greater than that in accelerated or blastic crisis phase.

As the first-line regime for CML, imatinib was less administered in Shanghai before, but has received considerable development and great responses since 2003.

[Title] Clinical outcomes and direct hospital costs of reduced-intensity allogeneic transplantation in chronic myeloid leukemia.

A reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic stem cell transplantation was given to 19 patients (aged 15-59 years) in the first chronic phase and one patient in the accelerated phase with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after a regimen consisting of fludarabine (Flu), busulfan (Bu) and ATG Fresenius.

The incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) was 55 and 75%, respectively.

Flu+Bu+ATG is a low-toxicity regimen for patients with CML.

[Title] Decreased expression level of SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 (Shp1) is associated with progression of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is characterized by t(9;22)(q34;q11) and the aberrant expression of the fusion protein Bcr-Abl that leads to constitutive activation of c-Abl kinase.

Bcr-Abl plays a major role in the development and progression of CML through chronic, accelerated, and blast phases.

The interaction between Bcr-Abl and other oncogenic molecules has been extensively documented.

Nonetheless, negative regulatory mechanisms of Bcr-Abl are not completely defined.

In the present study, we demonstrate that Shp1 levels are markedly decreased in advanced stage CML patients compared with those in chronic phase.

Furthermore, we did not detect mutations in the Shp1 gene in CML cell lines or patient samples.

These data suggest that the decrease in Shp1 in advanced stage CML patients is due to post-transcriptional modifications.

Our findings suggest that the decrease in Shp1 expression levels plays a role in the progression of CML.

Also, the decrease in Shp1 and subsequently its inhibitory effect on Bcr-Abl could provide an explanation for imatinib resistance seen in advanced stage CML patients.

[Title] Complex chromosomal rearrangements in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

During progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from the chronic to the accelerated phase and/or blast crisis, clonal evolution with nonrandom secondary aberrations such as +8, +Ph, i(17q), +19, -Y, +21, +17, and -7 is frequently observed.

The aim of this study was to determine the chromosomes and chromosomal regions which are involved in CCR during progression of the disease and the frequency of nonrandom changes.

Conventional cytogenetics, FISH, and multicolor FISH (mFISH) were used to study karyotypes of 18 CML patients with CCR ascertained by G-banding.

Precise determination of breakpoints involved in CCR can give new dimension to the understanding of genetic mechanisms which play role in progression of malignant disease.

[Title] [Kinetics of proliferation, differentiation and transcription of genes regulating apoptosis in cultured human BCR/ABL+ Ph+-cells].

Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells arise due to t(9,22) chromosome translocation and Ph+ chromosome formation in hematopoietic stem cells.

Ph chromosome, bcr/abl oncogene and Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells themselves are the hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Under leukemia progression differentiating Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells transform into leukemic malignant cells with differentiation block.

This work was performed to develop a proper cell model allowing us to study functioning of differentiating Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells and their real transformation into malignant cells with block of differentiation.

For this purpose we have investigated kinetics of Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells proliferation, differentiation, cell death and transcription of antiapoptotic genes in cultured 14-day of Ph+ mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood of a patient in chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia before treatment.

The results obtained revealed that Ph+ cell differentiation proceeded in accord with characteristic scheme of chronic myeloid leukemia in vivo.

Myeloid cells of hematopoietic cell lineage amounted to 3/4 of live Ph+ mononuclear cells undergoing accumulation and subsequent consumption in the course of differentiation.

95% myeloid cells were differentiating Ph+ granulocytes.

The peaks of antiapoptotic bcr/abl gene transcription activity coincided with the observed active proliferation at the beginning and at the end of cultivation.

Cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis were noticeably accelerated by growth factor treatment.

Thus, the study of the Ph+ cells cultivation kinetics is rather informative approach to investigation of continuous regulation of cellular and molecular processes in vitro in the case of chronic myeloid leukemia and allows more complete consideration of Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells hematopoiesis.

[Title] Dasatinib: in chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Dasatinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, including BCR-ABL, SRC, c-KIT, ephrin A receptor and platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor kinases, at nanomolar concentrations.

In vitro, dasatinib is 325-fold more potent than imatinib against cells expressing wild-type BCR-ABL.

The efficacy and tolerability of oral dasatinib has been established in the START phase II trials in adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-positive ALL) who were intolerant or resistant to imatinib, and optimal dasatinib dosage regimens were identified in phase III randomized trials.

In patients with chronic phase CML, the major cytogenetic response rate in the START-C trial (median follow-up 15.2 months) was 59% with dasatinib, and in the randomized START-R trial (median follow-up 15 months), was greater with dasatinib than with high-dose imatinib (52% vs 33%).

Major hematologic response rates with dasatinib were 63% in patients with accelerated phase CML (follow-up > or =9 months; START-A trial), 34% in patients with myeloid blast phase CML and 35% in those with lymphoid blast phase CML (follow-up > or =12 months; START-B and START-L trials), and 41% in patients with Ph-positive ALL (follow-up > or =12 months; START-L trial).

Based on phase III results, a once-daily dasatinib regimen is considered optimal in chronic phase CML (starting dosage 100 mg once daily), while a twice-daily regimen continues to be recommended in accelerated phase, myeloid blast phase or lymphoid blast phase CML and Ph-positive ALL (starting dosage 70 mg twice daily).

[Title] Phase II study of all-trans retinoic acid in the accelerated phase or early blastic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia: a study of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (E1993).

The aims of this study were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in the treatment of the accelerated and blastic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and to evaluate in vitro correlates of biological activity.

ATRA was administered in an intermittent schedule to patients with CML in the accelerated or blastic phases for a 6 week induction period, which was continued if there was evidence of clinical response or stable disease.

Laboratory correlative studies were performed prior to treatment and at intervals during treatment to evaluate effects on maturation and differentiation, and on CML progenitor cell growth by assessment of colony-forming cells (CFC).

ATRA demonstrated clinical and hematological activity in 5 of 18 patients with the accelerated phase of CML, and there was evidence of a biological effect in laboratory studies of 3 of the 5 patients' progenitor cells.

Combination therapy with other differentiating agents may be useful in this disease.

[Title] Circulating heat shock protein 70 and progression in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

We evaluated the association of circulating levels of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in plasma with clinical behavior and progression in 139 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.

Circulating Hsp70 levels did not differ significantly between CML patients in the chronic phase (n=93; median 33.24 ng/mL, range 3.89-128.2 ng/mL) and those in the accelerated/blast phase (n=46; median 26.57 ng/mL, range 4.5-114.7 ng/mL).

However, overall CML patients had significantly higher levels of Hsp70 than healthy subjects (n=95, median 4.17 ng/mL, range 1.75-24.7 ng/mL) (P<0.001).

In chronic phase CML patients, Hsp70 levels above the median were associated with a higher rate of progression to the accelerated/blast phase and a tendency toward shorter survival.

Plasma Hsp70 thus could be a potential marker for predicting disease progression in patients with chronic phase CML.

[Title] Stem cell regulation and the development of blast crisis in chronic myeloid leukemia: Implications for the outcome of Imatinib treatment and discontinuation.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the hematopoietic system that is initiated by a single genetic alteration (the BCR-ABL fusion gene or Philadelphia chromosome) and progresses in several phases: during the chronic phase the number of cells grows slowly and the fraction of immature cells is low.

During the accelerated phase and blast crisis, the population of CML cells and the fraction of immature cells rises sharply.

The mechanisms that drive the transition from the chronic phase to blast crisis are not understood, and the requirement of genetic instability and further mutations has been suggested.

Using mathematical models, I describe a theory that can account for the transition from the chronic phase to blast crisis without the need to invoke further mutations.

According to the model, treatment can lead to the low level persistence of CML stem cells without assuming that these cells are less susceptible to drug-mediated activity, and this might explain why disease tends to relapse after treatment discontinuation even in the absence of acquired drug resistance.

Further, the model defines conditions when Imatinib treatment might lead to the eradication of CML, which is relevant in the context of recent data that show absence of relapse as long as two years after treatment cessation.

[Title] [Analysis of long-term treatment outcome and related factors in 95 chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with imatinib].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of imatinib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and analyse the treatment outcome and related factors.

METHODS: Ninety five CML patients were treated with imatinib in our hospital from May 2002 to May 2006.

(1) One year after therapy, there were 95.5% of chronic phase (CP) patients achieved complete hematologic response (CHR).

The expected survival at 12-, 24-, 36- and 50-month after imatinib treatment for CP group was (98.1 +/-1.9)%, (87.8 +/- 7.1)%, (81.9 +/- 8.7)% and (81.9 +/- 8.7)%, respectively. (2) Twelve month after therapy, there are 70% of accelerated phase (AP) patients achieve CHR and 10% get MCyR.

Conclusion (1) Imatinib as a primary treatment for CP CML can significantly improve the survival time as compared with that AP or BC patients or with that used in previously treated patients. (2) Imatinib could induce hematologic, even cytogenetic response to a certain extent, in CP or BC patients and prolong the survival time.

[Title] Nilotinib versus imatinib for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia.

BACKGROUND: Nilotinib has been shown to be a more potent inhibitor of BCR-ABL than imatinib.

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of nilotinib, as compared with imatinib, in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase.

METHODS: In this phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study, we assigned 846 patients with chronic-phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive nilotinib (at a dose of either 300 mg or 400 mg twice daily) or imatinib (at a dose of 400 mg once daily).

Patients receiving either the 300-mg dose or the 400-mg dose of nilotinib twice daily had a significant improvement in the time to progression to the accelerated phase or blast crisis, as compared with those receiving imatinib (P=0.01 and P=0.004, respectively).

No patient with progression to the accelerated phase or blast crisis had a major molecular response.

CONCLUSIONS: Nilotinib at a dose of either 300 mg or 400 mg twice daily was superior to imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00471497. )

[Title] [Quantification of prame gene transcript in chronic myeloid leukemia].

This study was purposed to analyze the expression level of preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (prame) transcript in the patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and explore its clinical significance.

Real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) assay was used to detect the level of prame gene transcript in the bone marrow samples from 30 patients with CML and 15 patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

The results showed that CML patients had significantly higher prame mRNA level (0% - 772.25%, median 8.28%) than IDA cases (0% - 1.46%, median 0.19%) (p < 0.001).

The level of prame gene transcript was significantly correlated with that of bcr-abl fusion gene transcript (r = 0.708, p < 0.001) in CML patients.

Furthermore, 6 patients in blastic crisis (BC) and accelerated phase (AP) had significantly higher prame gene transcript than that of 24 cases in chronic phase (CP) (p = 0.007).

In 2 CML patients with sequential samples, prame gene transcript increased in AP and BC, compared with in CP, and was consistent with the altering tendency of bcr-abl transcript.

It is concluded that the level of prame gene transcript increases in CML which associates with the progression of the disease, prame gene transcript level can be used for monitoring the disease state.

[Title] A report of early cytogenetic response to imatinib in two patients with chronic myeloid leukemia at accelerated phase and carrying the e19a2 BCR-ABL transcript.

The development of imatinib is a milestone in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and its therapeutic effect has been extensively investigated in CML patients carrying M-bcr and m-bcr BCR/ABL fusion transcripts.

However, our knowledge about its therapeutic effect on CML patients with rare BCR/ABL fusion transcripts e19a2(u-bcr) remains sparse.

Here, we report on two CML patients with e19a2 transcripts who rapidly progressed into the accelerated phase, further confirming the possibility that 19a2 might be associated with an unfavorable prognosis in CML.

[Title] Characterization of cancer stem cells in chronic myeloid leukaemia.

CML (chronic myeloid leukaemia) is a myeloproliferative disease that originates in an HSC (haemopoietic stem cell) as a result of the t(9;22) translocation, giving rise to the Ph (Philadelphia chromosome) and bcr-abl oncoprotein.

The disease starts in CP (chronic phase), but as a result of genomic instability, it progresses over time to accelerated phase and then to BC (blast crisis), becoming increasingly resistant to therapy. bcr-abl is a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that has been targeted by TKIs (tyrosine kinase inhibitors), including IM (imatinib mesylate), nilotinib and dasatinib.

We have developed various flow cytometry techniques to enable us to isolate candidate CML stem cells from CP patients at diagnosis that efflux Hoechst dye, express CD34, lack CD38 and are cytokine-non-responsive in culture over periods of up to 12 days in growth factors.

These stem cells have been shown to regenerate bcr-abl-positive haemopoiesis in immunocompromised mice upon transplantation.

We previously demonstrated that IM was antiproliferative for CML stem cells but did not induce apoptosis.

Clinical experience now confirms that IM may not target CML stem cells in vivo with few patients achieving complete molecular remission and relapse occurring rapidly upon drug withdrawal.

Our recent efforts have focused on understanding why CML stem cells are resistant to IM and on trying to find novel ways to induce apoptosis of this population.

We have shown that CML stem cells express very high levels of functional wild-type bcr-abl; no kinase domain mutations have been detected in the stem cell population.

Dasatinib, a more potent multitargeted TKI than IM, inhibits bcr-abl activity more efficiently than IM but still does not induce apoptosis of the stem cell population.

Most recently, we have tested a number of novel drug combinations and found that FTIs (farnesyl transferase inhibitors) have activity against CML.

BMS-214662 is the most effective of these and induces apoptosis of phenotypically and functionally defined CML stem cells in vitro, as a single agent and in combination with IM or dasatinib.

The effect against CML stem cells is selective with little effect on normal stem cells.

The drug is also effective against BC CML stem cells and equally effective against wild-type and mutant bcr-abl, including the most resistant mutant T315I.

Our intentions are now to explore the activity of BMS-214662 in other cancer stem cell disorders and to move this preclinical work to a clinical trial combining dasatinib with BMS-214662 in CML.

[Title] Myeloperoxidase cytochemical negativity: an unexpected but intrinsic property of blasts of all phases of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) cytochemical activity, recognized as a very important hallmark of myeloblasts, is generally negative in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) blast crisis (BC).

Because this finding is unexpected, being not in keeping with the myeloproliferative nature of CML, we tried to ascertain if MPO cytochemical negativity could be an intrinsic property of blasts of CML and hence present in the preblastic phases as well.

Myeloperoxidase cytochemistry of peripheral blood blasts in 161 cases of CML, including 103 in chronic phase (CP) and 29 each in accelerated phase (AP) and BC, was assessed and compared with that of 30 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, AML-M2.

Blasts of 97 (94.2%) of 103 cases of CP, 28 (96.6%) of 29 cases of AP, and 22 (75.9%) of 29 cases of BC were negative for MPO (<3% MPO-positive blasts).

Compared with the strong MPO positivity, both in terms of intensity and proportion, in the AML-M2 cases, the positivity in the CML cases was generally weak and was seen in a small number of blasts (5-15%), except in one case of BC with 20% positive blasts.

Absence or, at times, weak MPO cytochemical activity is an intrinsic property of blasts of all phases of CML, and use of the term myeloblast in CML should be understood to refer to a cell with this property.

This also explains why MPO cytochemistry, despite its high reputation as a myeloid-lineage marker, generally does not help in CML BC.

CML BC should therefore be considered as a possible diagnosis along with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, AML-M0, AML-M7, etc., in the setting of MPO-negative blasts.

Similarity between MPO expression pattern in CML, i.e., negative in blasts and positive in the more mature cells, and that during maturation of normal myeloid series of cells shows the deranged myelopoiesis of CML to be undisturbed at least with respect to MPO expression.

[Title] [Successful induction of complete cytogenetic response with low-dose imatinib mesylate in an accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia patient who developed severe bone marrow aplasia following standard-dose imatinib mesylate therapy].

Bone marrow appearance was consistent with CML-AP, and t (9;22) (q34;q11) was detected on karyotyping.

Bone marrow biopsy showed severe bone marrow aplasia with no morphological evidence of disease progression.

This case also suggests that low-dose imatinib would be tolerable and effective for some CML patients who are intolerant of a standard dose of imatinib.

[Title] [Methylation status of id4 gene promoter in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia].

This study was purposed to investigate the methylation status of id4 gene promoter in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and explore the relationship between methylation of the id4 gene and progress of CML.

The methylation status of id4 gene in 48 chronic myeloid leukemia patients and 10 healthy individuals was detected by using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR).

The results showed that id4 gene was unmethylated in bone marrow samples from both healthy individuals and CML patients in chronic phase (CP).

The rate of id4 gene methylation in both CML patients in accelerated phase (AP) and blast crisis (BC) was 66%, and was higher than those of CML patients in CP phase.

In one CML patient who received a serial observations, the status of id4 was unmethylated in CP, but it was methylated in AP and BC phase.

It is concluded that the id4 gene in CML patients is unmethylated in CP, while it is methylated in AP or BC.

The detection of id4 gene methylation status may be useful for monitoring disease advance in CML and may be used as a marker of disease progression in CML.

[Title] Current role of stem cell transplantation in chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has seen considerable ups and downs in its role for patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).

It has provided the first proof of the principle for cure and has confirmed the concept of successful immunotherapy of leukaemia.

CML became the most frequent indication for an allogeneic HSCT worldwide.

The frequency of HSCT declined rapidly when the specific BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib appeared.

Risk assessment of both, disease risk and transplant risk, has become standard.

Allogeneic HSCT remains the first-line approach for patients with CML in accelerated phase or blast crisis.

It is the best option for all patients with failed second-line TKIs, with mutations T315I or with progressive disease.

[Title] Novel treatment strategies for chronic myeloid leukemia.

PURPOSE: Despite dramatic advances in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), resistance to therapeutic agents has emerged as a significant treatment dilemma.

Mutations of the BCR-ABL kinase domain, a common mechanism of resistance to imatinib in CML, are discussed.

SUMMARY: Several new targeted kinase inhibitors have reached clinical trials and have proved to be efficacious in halting the oncogenic activity of most BCR-ABL mutants.

Dasatinib is 300 times more potent than imatinib at BCR-ABL inhibition, has few side effects, and inhibits the SRC family kinases.

Nilotinib inhibits BCR-ABL at 20-50 times more potency than imatinib.

Both agents were highly effective in treating chronic phase CML but were less effective at treating accelerated phase CML in early phase clinical trials.

CONCLUSION: The new kinase inhibitors, dasatinib and nilotinib, are emerging as plausible therapeutic options for the treatment of imatinib-refractory CML.

[Title] Epigenetic heterochromatin markers distinguish terminally differentiated leukocytes from incompletely differentiated leukemia cells in human blood.

In order to identify the chromatin regulatory factors associated with incomplete cell differentiation and impaired chromatin condensation in hematological malignancies, we examined expression levels of major heterochromatin proteins in normal blood cells and cells derived from a number of chronic and acute myeloid leukemia patients exhibiting different degrees of differentiation.

RESULTS: While the major epigenetic heterochromatin factor, histone H3 methylated at lysine 9, is present in all cell types, its main counterparts, nonhistone proteins, heterochromatin proteins 1 (HP1) alpha, beta, and gamma, are dramatically reduced in peripheral blood leukocytes of normal donors and chronic myeloid leukemia patients, but are substantially increased in the blood of accelerated phase and blast crisis patients.

HP1 and MNEI levels inversely correlate in a number of normal and leukemia myeloid cells and show strikingly opposite coordinated changes during differentiation of U937 cell line induced by retinoic acid.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that repression of HP1 and accumulation of MNEI are linked to terminal cell differentiation and that their levels may be monitored in blood cell populations to detect transitions in cell differentiation associated with leukemia progression and treatment.

[Title] Targeted chronic myeloid leukemia therapy: seeking a cure.

BACKGROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell cancer driven by the BCR-ABL fusion protein that arises from the translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22.

The disease begins with an indolent chronic phase (CP) that can last for 3 to 5 years.

If untreated, it progresses into accelerated phase (AP) and within a year, blast phase (BP).

Survival at this point is less than 1 year. during disease progression, mutations and the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) appear (a process called clonal evolution).

The only known curative therapy for CML is allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT).

Thus, effective therapy that maintains the patient with CML in CP with minimal toxicity is the goal for treatment of modern therapies.

Because the preeminent mutation driving CML is BCr-ABL, therapies targeting BCR-ABL are the logical choice for disease-specific therapy.

BCR-ABL inhibitors, such as imatinib, are proof that targeting specific genetic mutations associated with cancer yields a high degree of efficacy with minimal toxicity.

OBJECTIVE: This review will outline the evolution of therapy in CML.

SUMMARY: The discovery of the Ph and, subsequently, the identification of BCr-ABL revolutionized the treatment of CML.

Cytoreductive chemotherapy, such as busulfan and hydroxyurea, was a mainstay of therapy to control white blood cell (WBC) counts; however, it did not modify the progression of the disease to AP and BP.

The overall survival with CML ranges from 45 to 58 months in patients treated with cytoreductive therapy only.

Allogeneic BMT is the only known curative therapy for CML; however, treatment-related mortality from infection, bleeding, and graft versus host disease, age, and the availability of suitable donors limits its widespread use.

Imatinib functions by competing with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for binding to the BCr-ABL tyrosine kinase.

In the absence of ATP, BCR-ABL is not able to activate downstream effector tyrosine kinase molecules that drive wBC proliferation.

Toxicities associated with this therapy are low. response in patients with advanced CML is less pronounced than in CP and is shorter lived, with less than 30% of patients achieving a CHR.

For patients with CML in BP, the only viable therapy is to attempt a temporary reduction in disease burden with a salvage chemotherapy regimen, such as VAC (etoposide, cytarabine, and carboplatin).

Imatinib resistance may develop at any time and inevitably leads to disease progression. resistance is usually caused by mutations within BCr-ABL, decreasing the affinity of imatinib binding. next-generation kinase inhibitors are focused on the ability to inhibit these mutated forms of BCR-ABL.

CONCLUSION: For the majority of patients with CML in CP, the standard of care is to maintain the patient in CP with imatinib therapy.

Allogeneic BMT continues to be an option for those who cannot tolerate imatinib or when CML progresses on imatinib therapy.

[Title] BCR-ABL mutation testing to predict response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Although randomized evidence demonstrates that imatinib (a commercially available TKI) prolongs event-free survival in patients with CML, some patients develop imatinib intolerance or resistance.

In addition, imatinib is less effective in patients who have progressed to more advanced disease stages, such as accelerated phase and blastic phase CML.

For these reasons, 2nd generation TKIs that can inhibit the BCR-ABL protein more effectively or target additional disease mechanisms have been developed.

Resistance to TKI treatment is thought to be mediated through various mechanisms, the most common of which is BCR-ABL1 mutations.

Testing for mutations in BCR-ABL1 may predict lack of response to imatinib or may inform the choice between alternative TKIs.

[Title] Nilotinib (formerly AMN107), a highly selective BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is active in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant accelerated-phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant accelerated-phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML-AP) have very limited therapeutic options.

Nilotinib is a highly selective BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

This phase 2 trial was designed to characterize the efficacy and safety of nilotinib (400 mg twice daily) in this patient population with hematologic response (HR) as primary efficacy endpoint.

In conclusion, nilotinib is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in imatinib-resistant and -intolerant CML-AP.

[Title] [A clinical study of treating 120 cases of adult chronic myelocytic leukemia with imatinib mesylate].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of imatinib mesylate (IM) as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor on Ph-positive or BCR/ABL positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).

METHODS: 120 patients diagnosed as CML with positive Ph chromosome were treated with IM 400 mg/d for CML in chronic phase (CP) (n = 90) or 600 mg/d for CML in accelerated or blastic phase (AP or BP) (n = 30) once daily.

Hematological, cytogenetic and molecular effects of IM on the disease process of these patients were evaluated with blood and marrow cells morphology examination, G-band conventional cytogenetics analysis for Ph chromosome and PCR assay for BCR/ABL gene.

(1) In CML-CP patients, after a follow-up of 9 ( range 3-42) months, cumulative complete hematological response (CHR), complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and complete molecular response (CMR) rates were 73.3%, 66.7% and 54.4%, which was not influenced by prior treatment of interferon.

CMR was better when time from diagnosis to treatment with IM was < or = 6 months (P < 0.05).

It is significant that the time to first CHR and time to first CCyR were related with the time to first CCyR and the time to first negative BCR/ ABL, respectively (both P < 0.05), while there was no relation between the time to first CHR and the time to first negative BCR/ABL (P > 0.05). (2) CHR, CCyR and CMR rates of the patients with progressive course (AP and BP) were 43.3%, 25.9% and 25.0%, respectively.

CONCLUSION: IM can lead to considerable hematological, cytogenetic and molecular response rates in CML, especially CML-CP patients, with minor tolerable side effects.

[Title] Dasatinib and nilotinib in imatinib-resistant Philadelphia-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia: a 'head-to-head comparison'.

Imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Dasatinib, approved in 2006 for the treatment of patients with CML in all phases who experience imatinib resistance or intolerance, has displayed significant efficacy, with a 2-year follow-up showing durable hematologic and cytogenetic responses, as well as prolonged progression-free and overall survival.

Nilotinib was approved in 2007 for the treatment of patients with CML in chronic phase or CML in accelerated phase, resistant or intolerant to prior therapy including imatinib, based on strong efficacy as well as a favorable safety profile.

[Title] Grading of marrow fibrosis in chronic myeloid leukemia--a comprehensive approach.

In the course of Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), appearance of increased number of blasts may herald evolution of accelerated phase as well as onset of marrow fibrosis (MF) thereby necessitating the need to perform trephine biopsy for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

We performed 50 bone marrow (BM) trephine biopsies in patients of CML in order to assess the incidence and degree of MF.

A positive correlation was found between increasing grades of MF and number of megakaryocytes in the BM.

[Title] Association of the GSTP1 gene (Ile105Val) polymorphism with chronic myeloid leukemia.

We here assessed the impact of the GSTP1 codon 105 polymorphism in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) development and therapy response.

Two hundred and sixty patients with CML and 248 healthy, age and sex matched controls were included in the study of associations with patient characteristics and treatment outcome.

The GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism was significantly associated with CML development (?2 = 9.57; df = 2; p = 0.0084).

With respect to clinical phase, CML patients in advanced phase (accelerated and blast crisis) had higher frequency of heterozygous (Ile/Val) genotype (47.62%) compared to chronic phase (36.5%).

Further 54.5% of patients in blast crisis carried valine allele as compared to those in chronic phase (36.5%).

Hence the present study suggests that GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism with reduced GSTP1 enzyme activity might influence CML development, progression and response rates.

[Title] Dasatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia: a review.

Deregulated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase (TK) activity is the molecular marker for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which provides an identifiable target for developing therapeutic agents.

Imatinib mesylate, a BCR-ABL TK inhibitor, is the frontline therapy for CML.

In newly diagnosed patients with chronic phase CML, the rate of resistance to imatinib at 4 years was up to 20%, increasing to 70% to 90% for patients in the accelerated/blastic phase.

Dasatinib is well tolerated and has broad efficacy, resulting in durable responses in patients with any BCR-ABL mutation except for T3151 and mutations in codon 317 - most commonly F317L - including mutations that were highly resistant to imatinib, such as L248, Y253, E255, F359, and H396.

Dasatinib is recommended for CML in chronic, blastic or accelerated phase that is resistant or intolerant to imatinib.

Dasatinib was approved by the FDA at 100 mg once daily as the starting dose in patients with chronic phase CML and at 70 mg twice daily in patients with accelerated or blastic phase CML.

Other second-generation TKIs with activity in CML include nilotinib, bosutinib and INNO 406.

New molecules, such as the inhibitor of Aurora family serine-threonine kinases, MK0457, which has antileukemic activity in CML associated with a T315I mutation, are being investigated.

[Title] Favorable long-term follow-up results over 6 years for response, survival, and safety with imatinib mesylate therapy in chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia after failure of interferon-alpha treatment.

Imatinib mesylate, a targeted inhibitor of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, is the standard of care for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

A phase 2 trial of imatinib in late chronic-phase (CP) CML after interferon-alpha (IFNalpha) failure enrolled 532 patients, 454 with a confirmed diagnosis of CP CML.

Median time from diagnosis was 34 months; median duration of imatinib treatment was 65 months.

Estimated rates of freedom from progression to accelerated phase (AP) and blastic phase (BP) and overall survival at 6 years were 61% and 76%, respectively.

Imatinib continues to be an effective and safe therapy for patients with CP CML after failure of IFN.

[Title] HLA-matched unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation after nonmyeloablative conditioning for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

We evaluated 10/10 HLA antigen-matched unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after nonmyeloablative conditioning with fludarabine 3 x 30 mg/m2 and 2 Gy of total body irradiation as treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who were ineligible for conventional HCT.

Data from 21 consecutive patients in first chronic phase (CP1; n = 12), accelerated phase (AP; n = 5), second CP (CP2; n = 3), and blast crisis (n = 1) were analyzed.

The patient who underwent transplantation in blast crisis died on day 21 (too early to be evaluated for engraftment) from progressive disease.

Graft rejections were nonfatal in all cases and were followed by autologous reconstitution with persistence or recurrence of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Two of the remaining 4 patients died of nonrelapse causes in complete (n = 1) or major (n = 1) cytogenetic remissions, and 2 died of progressive disease.

[Title] Telomeres and telomerase in chronic myeloid leukaemia: impact for pathogenesis, disease progression and targeted therapy.

Due to the end replication problem, each cell division results in a loss of telomeric repeats in normal somatic cells.

However, elevated telomerase activity has also been reported in the majority of solid tumours as well as in acute and chronic leukaemia.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) serves as a model disease to study telomere biology in clonal myeloproliferative disorders.

In CML, telomere shortening correlates with disease stage, duration of chronic phase (CP), prognosis measured by the Hasford risk score and the response to disease-modifying therapeutics such as the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib.

In addition, telomerase activity (TA) is already increased in CP CML and further upregulated with disease progression to accelerated phase and blast crisis (BC).

Here, we review the current state of knowledge of the role of telomere and telomerase biology in CML and discuss the possible impact of novel treatment approaches.

[Title] Use of dasatinib and nilotinib in imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia: translating preclinical findings to clinical practice.

The BCR-ABL inhibitor imatinib revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

The mechanisms underlying resistance are multifactorial and may include mutations in the kinase domain of BCR-ABL, increased production of BCR-ABL, or activation of BCR-ABL-independent pathways.

Two second-line BCR-ABL inhibitors are now approved for treatment of patients with resistance or intolerance to imatinib.

Dasatinib is a dual BCR-ABL/Src-family kinase (SFK) inhibitor approved for patients with imatinib-resistant and -intolerant CML in any phase and Ph+ ALL.

Nilotinib, an analogue of imatinib, is approved for the treatment of imatinib-resistant or -intolerant patients with chronic or accelerated phase CML.

Both agents have shown significant clinical activity in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML, and their approval represents a major advancement in the treatment options available.

The presence of certain disease characteristics (e.g. specific BCR-ABL mutations) or patient comorbidities may facilitate more effective treatment.

[Title] HLA-mismatched/haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without in vitro T cell depletion for chronic myeloid leukemia: improved outcomes in patients in accelerated phase and blast crisis phase.

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only proven curative therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but lack of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or unrelated donors has restricted its application.

AIM: To evaluate the outcomes of CML patients who underwent haploidentical allo-HSCT.

RESULTS: Our data showed that the cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 64.52%, and grade III-IV was 26.45%, 61.79% had chronic GVHD, and 28.93% had extensive chronic GVHD.

Probability of 1-year and 4-year leukemia-free survival was similar in chronic phase (CP) 1, CP2/CR2, accelerated phase, and blast crisis patients.

Probability of 4-year overall survival varied as 76.5% (CP1), 85.7% (CP2/CR2), 73.3% (accelerated phase), and 61.5% (blast crisis).

Multivariate analysis indicated that factors affecting transplantation outcomes were HLA-B+DR mismatches versus others for II-III acute GVHD and III-IV acute GVHD, the stage of disease at transplantation for relapse, and the time from diagnosis to transplantation for leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and transplantation-related mortality.

In our protocol, survival of HSCT for advanced CML was similar to stable stage.

[Title] Intermittent exposure of primitive quiescent chronic myeloid leukemia cells to granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in vitro promotes their elimination by imatinib mesylate.

PURPOSE: Primitive quiescent chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells are biologically resistant to imatinib mesylate, an inhibitor of the p210(BCR-ABL) kinase.

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: CD34(+) leukemic cells were isolated from six newly diagnosed chronic phase CML patients and cultured for 12 days in serum-free medium with or without G-CSF and/or imatinib mesylate present either continuously or intermittently (three cycles of G-CSF for 0, 1, or 4 days +/- imatinib mesylate for 0, 3, or 4 days).

RESULTS: Intermittent but not continuous exposure to G-CSF significantly accelerated the disappearance in vitro of initially quiescent CD34(+) CML cells.

CONCLUSION: Intermittent exposure to G-CSF can enhance the effect of imatinib mesylate on CML cells by specifically targeting the primitive quiescent leukemic elements.

A protocol for treating chronic-phase CML patients with imatinib mesylate that incorporates intermittent G-CSF exposure may offer a novel strategy for obtaining improved responses in vivo.

[Title] Karyotype abnormalities and their clinical significance in a group of chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), karyotyping is a valuable tool for monitoring engraftment and disease status.

Few studies have examined the prognostic significance of karyotypes in patients who underwent HSCT for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of pretransplantation cytogenetic status in relation to outcomes following HSCT in CML patients.

DESIGN AND SETTING: Case series study at Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

RESULTS: Thirty-one patients were in the chronic phase and eight were in the accelerated phase.

[Title] Imatinib mesylate efficacy in 72 previously treated Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia patients with and without additional chromosomal changes: single-center results.

Reported here are 72 previously treated Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) CML patients on imatinib (IM) therapy, with a focus on patients with additional chromosomal aberrations (CAs).

Patients in accelerated phase had significantly worse overall survival on IM, regardless of additional CAs.

The present results confirm that the majority of previously treated Ph+ CML patients benefit from starting IM therapy, including patients with defined additional changes.

In chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), basophilia is a diagnostic and prognostic determinant.

OBJECTIVE: To detect and enumerate basophils in bone marrow sections in patients with CML and other MPD.

METHODS: The anti-basophil antibody 2D7 was applied to paraffin embedded bone marrow sections from normal/reactive subjects (n = 31), patients with CML (chronic phase, n = 37; accelerated phase, n = 9), and other MPD (chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (CIMF), n = 20; polycythaemia vera (PV), n = 20; essential thrombocythaemia (ET), n = 20; indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), n = 7).

2D7(+) bone marrow cells were found to increase in CML compared with normal/reactive bone marrow and other MPD (median numbers of 2D7(+) cells/mm(2): CML, 33; normal/reactive bone marrow, 6; CIMF, 10; PV, 6; ET, 5; ISM, 3; p<0.05).

The highest basophil counts were recorded in accelerated phase CML (115/mm(2)).

This approach should help in the quantification of bone marrow basophils at diagnosis and during anti-leukaemic treatment.
