Studies in adults have shown that an early molecular response to imatinib predicts clinical outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We investigated the impact of the BCR-ABL1 transcript level measured 3 months after starting imatinib in a cohort of 40 children with CML. Children with a BCR-ABL1/ABL ratio higher than 10% at 3 months after the start of imatinib had a larger spleen size and a higher white blood cell count compared with those with BCR-ABL1/ABL ≤10%. Children with BCR-ABL1/ABL ≤10% 3 months after starting imatinib had higher rates of complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response at 12 months compared with those with BCR-ABL1/ABL >10%. With a median follow-up of 71 months (range, 22-96 months), BCR-ABL1/ABL ≤10% correlated with better progression-free survival. Thus, early molecular response at 3 months predicts outcome in children treated with imatinib for CML. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00845221.
研究表明,成人中伊马替尼早期的分子反应可预测慢性髓性白血病(CML)的临床结果。我们研究了在 40 名 CML 患儿队列中,伊马替尼开始后 3 个月测量的 BCR-ABL1 转录本水平对其的影响。与 BCR-ABL1/ABL≤10%的患儿相比,伊马替尼开始后 3 个月 BCR-ABL1/ABL 比值高于 10%的患儿脾脏更大,白细胞计数更高。伊马替尼开始后 3 个月 BCR-ABL1/ABL≤10%的患儿在 12 个月时完全细胞遗传学缓解和主要分子缓解的比例高于 BCR-ABL1/ABL>10%的患儿。中位随访时间为 71 个月(范围,22-96 个月),BCR-ABL1/ABL≤10%与无进展生存时间更长相关。因此,伊马替尼治疗 CML 的患儿中,3 个月时的早期分子反应可预测结果。该试验在 www.clinicaltrials.gov 上注册,编号为 #NCT00845221。
