Real-World Outcomes With Low-Dose Dasatinib (50 mg) in Imatinib-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase: A Retrospective Analysis of Efficacy and Safety. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Dasatinib, a potent second‐generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is highly effective in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML‐CP) resistant to imatinib at standard dosing (100 mg daily), but is often limited by adverse events.

Optimized Treatment Schedules for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
Over the past decade, several targeted therapies (e.g. imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib) have been developed to treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). Despite an initial response to therapy, drug resistance remains a problem for some CML patients.

Heterogeneity of Metabolic Vulnerability in Imatinib-Resistant Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer cells in response to targeted therapy. Decreased glycolytic activity with enhanced mitochondrial respiration secondary to imatinib has been shown in imatinib-sensitive gastrointestional stromal tumors (GIST)

Exploiting mitochondrial dysfunction for effective elimination of imatinib-resistant leukemic cells.
Challenges today concern chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients resistant to imatinib. There is growing evidence that imatinib-resistant leukemic cells present abnormal glucose metabolism but the impact on mitochondria has been neglected. Our work aimed
