Purpose:
We studied BCR-ABL1 transcript levels in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) at 3, 6, and 12 months after starting imatinib to identify molecular milestones that would predict for overall survival (OS) and other outcomes more reliably than serial marrow cytogenetics.

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a model of how the molecular understanding of a disease can provide the platform for therapy and diagnostics. Clinicians are now empowered with first- and second-generation tyrosine kinases, as well as molecular tools to monitor disease and characterize resistance. However, there are still unanswered questions regarding optimization of therapy, the utility of molecular monitoring, and the search (or need) of “cure” that bears thought. In this review, we will discuss these issues, as they provide a roadmap for what may lie ahead in the therapy of other hematologic malignancies, particular the other myeloproliferative syndromes, where specific genetic lesions, and targeted therapy, are now being realized.

CML Support Group: Response to the Appeal Panel judgement in favour of the NICE
decision not to recommend dasatinib as a second line treatment option for imatinib
resistant CML and in patients intolerant to imatinib, and including its use in blast
phase CML.

Dasatinib, high-dose imatinib and nilotinib for chronic myeloid leukaemia:
This document is about when dasatinib, high-dose imatinib and
nilotinib should be used to treat people with chronic myeloid leukaemia
that has not responded to imatinib or who cannot tolerate imatinib in the
NHS in England and Wales. It explains guidance (advice) from NICE
