Despite the prominent effects of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) therapy in patients with chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) and thus low incidence of blastic transformation, blast phase (BP)-CML remains a major therapeutic challenge in the TKI era. The "gatekeeper" mutation T315I in BCR-ABL1 kinase, which often coupled with a poor prognosis, is quite common and resistant to all TKIs except for ponatinib. The occurrence of T315I mutation in BP-CML makes the situation more complex. Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) technology is a new immunotherapy which has significantly improved the efficacy of B cell hematologic malignances. Here we report a lymphoid BP-CML patient harboring T315I mutation who achieved complete molecular remission and returned to chronic phase by anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy. Our study provides a new therapeutic strategy for patients in BP-CML.
尽管BCR-ABL酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)疗法对慢性期慢性髓性白血病(CP-CML)患者有显著疗效,且急变期发生率较低,但急变期(BP)-CML在TKI时代仍然是一个主要的治疗挑战。BCR-ABL1激酶中的“守门人”突变T315I通常与不良预后相关,十分常见,并且除波纳替尼外对所有TKI均耐药。BP-CML中T315I突变的出现使情况更加复杂。抗CD19嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T)技术是一种新型免疫疗法,已显著提高了B细胞血液系统恶性肿瘤的疗效。在此,我们报告1例携带T315I突变的淋巴系BP-CML患者,通过抗CD19 CAR-T疗法实现了完全分子缓解并恢复到慢性期。我们的研究为BP-CML患者提供了一种新的治疗策略。
