ABL1 M351T

Highly polymorphic BCR-ABL kinase domains have been reported to harbor more than a hundred mutations, and among these, 40-60% have been identified as influencers of imatinib mesylate (IM) resistance...A haplotype frequency distribution pattern analysis of ABL1 loci further identified the CGC haplotype as an independent predictor for IM resistance. As such the study highlights the importance of patient characteristics, genotype distribution, and haplotype frequency distribution in predicting the response to IM treatment and clinical outcomes of CML patients.

The present study demonstrated that a half of baseline conc ABPIs in combination with ASC is as effective as other ABPIs not just in WT but also in other ABL1 KDM CML cell lines. Different CML cell lines harboring different ABL KDM has different treatment spectrum on optimal ABPI drug as well as optimal drug conc. This result will be useful to design future clinical trial of dual blockade of ASC with other ABPIs considering the ABL KDM profiles.

This retrospective study had suggested promising effects of flumatinib, which showed induced high rates of CCyR and MMR or DMR in patients resistant or intolerant to imatinib. The incidence of AEs during flumatinib treatment was tolerable.

The 15 R/R patients (11, Ph + ALL; 4, CML-BP) received olverembatinib 30 or 40 mg on alternate days combined with VP (vindesine 4 mg once per week for 4 weeks and prednisone 1 mg/kg for 3 weeks and tapered at the fourth)...Among the 16 patients with molecular resistance to TKI-based chemotherapy (imatinib [n = 4]; dasatinib [n = 9]; flumatinib [n = 3]), 2 received olverembatinib monotherapy, 7 olverembatinib plus VP, and 7 hyper-CVAD, of whom 8 received subsequent allogeneic transplantation...Treatment-related nonhematologic severe adverse events were observed in 3 patients, including (each) stable angina pectoris, severe pneumonia, and fatal Klebsiella sepsis. Conclusions Olverembatinib-based chemotherapy is effective and safe in patients with R/R and molecular resistant Ph + ALL or CML-LBP.

ASCEMBL trial showed superior efficacy of ASC to Bosutinib (BOS) with a higher molecular response rate, and a lower rate of discontinuation due to lack of efficacy (24.2% vs 35.5% at week 96)...A phase 1 study attempted to determine appropriate dose of ASC in combination with fixed dose of ABPIs including Imatinib (IMA), Dasatinib (DAS) and Nilotinib (NIL)...Each cell lines does have its inherent resistance level to double blockades, which needs to be further explored. A phase 1 study with reduced dose of ABPI in combination with fixed dose ASC is strongly warranted to define an optimal dose for combination.

Y253F mutation was not seen in the present study sample. In the present cohort of 83 patients, 29 (35%) cases were positive for single mutation, 12 (14%) had two mutations and 3 (4%) had three mutations.

In patient #6, G645delinsGWfs was found at the diagnosis and on the 3rd line nilotinib treatment...In patient #3, the CSF3R mutation A593V was found at diagnosis and confirmed 14 months after the imatinib initiation...Despite the clonal hematopoiesis with somatic mutations is considered as age-related phenomenon, in AYA CML patients, it may represent a critical problem in achieving sustained molecular response on solo TKI therapy, or even worse, it may result in higher risk of therapy failure and disease progression.
