Clinical implications of discordant early molecular responses in CML patients treated with imatinib [PDF]
A reduction in BCR-ABL1/ABL1IS transcript levels to <10% after 3 months or <1% after 6 months of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy are associated with superior clinical outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.

Selective induction of apoptosis in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia cells by an inhibitor of BCR–ABL tyrosine kinase, CGP 57148 [PDF]
The BCR - ABL tyrosine kinase has been implicated as the cause of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive leukemias. We report herein that CGP 57148, a selective inhibitor of the ABL tyrosine kinase, caused apoptosis specifically in bcr - abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells, K562 and KYO-1.

Eradication of chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells: a novel mathematical model predicts no therapeutic benefit of adding G-CSF to imatinib [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate induces complete cytogenetic responses in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), yet many patients have detectable BCR-ABL transcripts in peripheral blood even after prolonged therapy.

Excellent outcomes of 2G-TKI therapy after imatinib failure in chronic phase CML patients [PDF]
open25noSecond-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (2G-TKIs) dasatinib and nilotinib produced historical rates of about 50% complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and about 40% major molecular response (MMR) in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients ...

In 5%-10% of patients with of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) is not identified, despite the presence of the associated BCR-ABL molecular abnormality (Ph-negative, BCR-ABL-positive CML) because of sub-microscopic rearrangements.Six patients with Ph-negative, BCR-ABL-positive CML were investigated.

A long-lasting, complete hematologic and cytogenetic remission of chronic myelogenous leukemia after treatment with busulfan alone [PDF]
A 44-year-old man suffering from cytogenetically and molecularly proven Philadelphia translocation-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase was treated with busulfan for 18 months and studied during a follow-up period of 13 years ...

Synergistic activity of the new ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 and chemotherapeutic drugs on BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia cells [PDF]
The ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 (formerly CGP57148B) induced cytogenetic remissions in 33% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients in a phase I trial (Druker et al 1999). Combination therapy may increase this proportion. We tested whether combinations of STI571 and cytarabine or other chemotherapeutic agents such as hydroxyurea,

BACKGROUND: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a hematological stem cell disorder that associates with mutations in BCR-ABL. Although mutations identified in more than 30 different amino acids, the highest degree of resistance was associated with ...
