A mutation of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene can be observed in about one-third of cases of acute myeloid leukemia. Two FLT3 inhibitors are actually approved for FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia: midostaurin, a multikinase first generation inhibitor with lower affinity for FLT3 binding, and gilteritinib fumarate, a potent second-generation inhibitor of both FLT3-ITD and TKD. Gilteritinib is a new effective and well-tolerated drug for patients with relapsing or refractory FLT3-positive acute myeloid leukemia. Thanks to its efficacy, low toxicity, its good manageability (oral formulation), this drug is suitable for all the patients, including elderly frail patient with concomitant therapies or pre-existing or underlying diseases, and can be used also in the outpatient setting, reducing risks and costs related to the hospitalization. We report and discuss seven cases of different patients with FLT3 positive acute myeloid leukemia successfully managed with gilteritinib in the real clinical practice.Keywords: acute myeloid leukemia, FLT3, midostaurin, gilteritinib

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have established indications, according to recent guidelines for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE), with a safer profile compared to vitamin K antagonist (VKA) in terms of a lower risk for major bleeding and no need of blood coagulation tests. However, DOACs are not indicated in the treatment of patients with triple-positive antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This limitation is often extended in clinical practice to patients with isolated positivity. The COVID-19 pandemic has sometimes made it difficult to maintain a safe VKA treatment, due to the practical difficulties of performing INR. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated 39 patients with a previous unprovoked VTE/PE, who were no longer eligible for VKA treatment due to the difficulty of performing INR during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, in Italy. All patients had a positive LAC and refused a longterm anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin. They were shifted to edoxaban. RESULTS: Any recurrence of VTE/PE occurred during the observation period (up to eight months of treatment), while only one minor bleeding event was recorded (Hazard ratio=0.06, 95% confidence interval 0.03-0.11, p=0.094). No arterial events occurred during the observation period. Hemoglobin, platelets, and creatinine were unchanged during the observation period. CONCLUSIONS: Edoxaban treatment may be safe and effective in preventing the recurrence of VTE/PE in patients with isolated LAC positivity, without the occurrence of arterial events.

Abstract

Background: Compared with imatinib, nilotinib is a potent breakpoint cluster region/v-abl Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene (bcr-abl) kinase inhibitor, and it induces higher rate and rapid complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), yet no clinical data are available regarding its efficacy against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) stem cells. Earlier studies demonstrated that clusters of differentiation 34-positive, Philadelphia chromosome-positive (CD34(+) Ph(+) ) cells are detectable in about 45% of patients with CML, despite being on long-term imatinib therapy and having achieved sustained CCyR.Methods: CD34(+) cells from bone marrow of de novo CML patients in the chronic phase (n = 24) treated with nilotinib (median duration of therapy, 22 months) were isolated and scored for BCR-ABL by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Similar analysis was also performed in 5 de novo CML chronic phase patients who achieved CCyR within 3 months of nilotinib therapy.Results: FISH evaluation of a median of 100 CD34(+) nuclei per patient revealed that only 1 of 20 (5%) evaluable patients showed residual Ph(+) progenitor cells. In this patient, just 1 of 140 (0.7%) CD34(+) interphase nuclei was found to be positive for BCR-ABL. Surprisingly, no CD34(+) Ph(+) cells were found even in those 5 patients evaluated after 3 months of nilotinib treatment.Conclusions: This study assessed for the first time the persistence of CD34(+) Ph(+) cells during nilotinib first-line treatment. Preliminary results showed that in patients in CCyR, even after short-term nilotinib therapy, residual leukemic progenitors are very rarely detected compared with imatinib-treated CCyR patients. It is yet to be determined if these findings will have an impact in the path to a cure of CML with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
