Although imatinib induces marked responses in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), resistance is increasingly problematic, and treatment options for imatinib-resistant/-intolerant CML are limited. Dasatinib, a novel, highly potent, oral, multi-targeted kinase inhibitor of BCR-ABL and SRC family kinases, induced cytogenetic responses in a Phase-I study in imatinib-resistant/-intolerant CML, and was well tolerated. Initial results are presented from a Phase-II study of 186 patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic phase CML (CML-CP) designed to further establish the efficacy and safety of dasatinib (70 mg BID). At 8-months' follow-up, dasatinib induced notable responses, with 52% and 90% of patients achieving major cytogenetic (MCyR) and complete hematologic responses, respectively. Responses were durable: only 2% of patients achieving MCyR progressed or died. Importantly, comparable responses were achieved by patients carrying BCR-ABL mutations conferring imatinib resistance. Dasatinib also induced molecular responses, reducing BCR-ABL:ABL transcript ratios from 66% at baseline to 2.6% at 9 months. Non-hematologic adverse events were generally mild-to-moderate, and most cytopenias were effectively managed with dose modifications. Cross-intolerance with imatinib was not evident. To conclude, dasatinib induces notable, durable responses in imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML-CP, is well tolerated, and represents a promising therapeutic option for these patients.
