Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Evaluate the rate of sustained treatment-free remission (TFR) with no molecular relapse and no need for resumption of dasatinib treatment by discontinuation of dasatinib treatment in patients with Ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia-chronic phase (CML-CP) who sustained molecular response on the international scale (IS) <= 0.0032% (hereinafter referred to as "MR4.5") for 1 year with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), dasatinib hydrate (hereinafter referred to as "dasatinib"). Also, evaluate the relationship of sustained TFR to gene polymorphism/mutation and specify gene markers to judge the advisability of discontinuing TKI treatment. Molecular relapse is defined as IS loss of <= 0.1% (hereinafter referred to as "MMR") once or IS loss of <= 0.01% (hereinafter referred to as "MR4") 2 consecutive times.

Results

The study examined whether CML-CP patients (pts) treated with dasatinib (DAS) for <=3 years (yrs) and maintained MR4.5 for exactly 1 year (yr) would achieve TFR if DAS was discontinued. Of the first 21 pts who discontinued, 17 developed molecular relapse. The median duration of treatment with DAS before cessation was 18.9 months, which was shorter than previously reported. These results indicate that maintaining MR4.5 for 1 yr is not sufficient to achieve TFR in CML-CP pts treated with DAS for <= 3 yrs.

Baseline Characteristics

This study investigated patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). Of the 173 patients included in the analysis, 59.0% (102 patients) were aged < 60 years and 41.0% (71 patients) were aged >= 60. The sex composition was 57.8% (100 patients) male and 42.2% (73 patients) female. Regarding risk classification, the proportions of Sokal low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 45.7% (79 patients), 38.2% (66 patients), and 15.6% (27 patients), respectively. Hasford low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 39.9% (69 patients), 50.9% (88 patients), and 8.7% (15 patients), respectively. EUTOS low- and high-risk groups were 89.6% (155 patients) and 10.4% (18 patients), respectively.

Participant flow

Of a total of 181 patients registered in the study, 8 patients (4 patients, found ineligible after enrollment; 4 patients, unknown) were excluded and 173 patients initiated the protocol treatment with second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor(2G-TKI)dasatinib.
Subsequently, 60 patients transitioned to the consolidation phase[*1] and 21 patients moved to the stop phase[*2]. Of the patients who transitioned to the stop phase, 17 developed molecular relapse[*3]. The study was terminated prematurely upon the recommendation of the Efficacy and Safety Evaluation Committee in accordance with the pre-specified protocol safety monitoring criteria[*4]. Four patients were under observation during the stop phase when the entire study was terminated. The patients who developed molecular relapse entered the dasatinib retreatment phase, and all the patients regained Molecular Response[*5] (MR) 4.
*1 Patients entered this phase if they achieved MR 4.5 (defined as BCR-ABL1IS <= 0.0032% in the international criteria for determining molecular response) during the induction phase within 2 years of dasatinib treatment. In this phase, dasatinib treatment was continued at the same dose as in the induction phase.
*2 Patients entered this phase if they maintained MR4.5 during the consolidation phase for 12 months. In this phase, dasatinib treatment was discontinued.
*3 Defined as loss of major molecular response (MMR) (BCR-ABL1IS > 0.1%) or loss of MR4 (BCR-ABL1IS > 0.01% confirmed 2 consecutive times).
*4 i.e., the study should be terminated if the treatment-free remission (TFR) rate is less than 25% in the first 20 patients who have entered the stop phase
*5 Defined as BCR-ABL1IS <= 0.01%

Adverse events

In this study, National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Japanese version 4.0 JCOG version (CTCAE v4.0-JCOG) grade 4 or higher hematologic toxicity and grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse events were collected. Grade 1 or higher TKI withdrawal syndrome during the stop phase were also collected.
Adverse events and the number of patients in the study phases were as follows. The induction phase: neutropenia 4, anemia 1, thrombocytopenia 2 (all above were grade 4), allergic reaction 3, erythroderma 1, edema 1, pleural effusion 1, nausea 1, diarrhea 3, and constipation 1 (all above were grade 3). The consolidation phase: acute coronary syndrome 1 and bone pain 1 (all above were grade 3). The retreatment phase: cerebral infarction 1 (grade 3). The stop phase: arthralgia 2 and myalgia 1 (all above were grade 1) reported as TKI withdrawal syndrome.

Outcome measures

Primary endpoint
#The proportion of patients who achieved TFR, defined as having no molecular relapse and no need for resumption of dasatinib treatment 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation, was not calculated because the study was terminated prematurely at the interim analysis and TFR was observed in only one patient at 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation. The proportion of patients with observed molecular relapse within 12 months of the study discontinuation was 17/21 (81.0%, 95% CI: 58.1 - 94.6).
The median duration of dasatinib treatment before discontinuation in the stop phase was 18.9 months (range 14.9-25.5).
Secondary endpoints
#The proportions of patients with TFR at 24, 36, and 48 months after dasatinib discontinuation were not calculated for the same reasons as in the analysis of the primary endpoint.
#Molecular relapse-free survival at 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation was 16.7%, and the median molecular relapse-free survival at 12 months was 4.0 months (95% CI: 2.4 - 5.0).
#Overall survival including all causes of death at 12, 24, 36, and 48 months after dasatinib discontinuation was not calculated because no deaths were identified after dasatinib discontinuation.
#Of 172 patients, 65 (37.6%, 95% CI: 30.3 - 45.2) achieved MR4.5. The median duration of dasatinib for achieving MR4.5 was 7.7 months (range 3.0-21.1 months).
#Dasatinib dose in relation to achievement of MR4.5: The total dasatinib dose corresponding to 50% achievement of MR4.5 by the Kaplan-Meier method was 63,600 mg (95% confidence interval [CI]: 43,500 to N.A.), but the 95% CI was wide due to the small number of patients who reached MR4.5, and the upper limit of the 95% CI could not be estimated.
#Event-free survival (EFS) during the dasatinib treatment period was estimated to be 94.9% for 1 year and 63.5% for 2 years. A large number of patients were censored due to early termination of the study.
#Tyrosine kinase inhibitor withdrawal syndrome was observed in 2 of the 21 patients who entered the stop phase. Two (9.5%) patients had grade 1 arthralgia and one (4.8%) had grade 1 myalgia, and all of them recovered.
Exploratory endpoints
#Factors associated with achievement of MR4.5 and maintenance of TFR were assessed by sex, Sokal Score, Hasford Score, EUTOS Score, age (>=60 years old, < 60 years old), and achievement of MMR[*6] at 3 months. In both univariate and multivariate analyses, achievement of MMR at 3 months was statistically and significantly related with achievement of MR 4.5. Factors associated with TFR were not assessed because TFR at 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation was observed in only one patient. Increased lymphocyte counts at 1 and 3 months after the start of dasatinib treatment were not assessed, as they increased in all patients.
*6 Defined as a BCR-ABL1 level <= 0.1% on the international scale for molecular response (BCR-ABL1IS)
