This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of imatinib in chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL, n = 23) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES, n = 13). In CEL with FIP1L1-PDGFRA (n = 16) or various PDGFRB fusion genes (n = 5), complete haematological remission (CHR) was achieved in 95% (20/21) after 3 months. Complete molecular remission (CMR) was seen in 75% (12/16) of cases with FIP1L1-PDGFRA positive CEL by 6 months, and in 87% (13/15) after 12 months. CMR was achieved in three of five PDGFRB fusion positive patients after 3, 9 and 18 months respectively. All patients are currently on imatinib (100 mg; n = 13, 400 mg; n = 8) and no molecular relapse has yet been observed (median 26.7 months; range, 6.9-39.9). Imatinib was less effective in HES and CEL without known molecular aberration (n = 15); CHR was observed in 40% (6/15) of patients, two patients relapsed after 4.8 and 24.5 months. Three patients died due to imatinib-resistant progressive CEL (n = 2) or myocardial infarction (n = 1) unrelated to study treatment. Overall, imatinib was well tolerated with a low incidence of grade III/IV toxicities. These data confirmed the long-term efficacy of imatinib for PDGFR-rearranged CEL patients, and also showed that a minority of HES cases without known molecular aberrations may benefit from imatinib.  相似文献

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is defined as chronic, unexplained hypereosinophilia with organ involvement. A subset of HES patients presents an interstitial deletion in chromosome 4q12, which leads to the expression of an imatinib-responsive fusion gene, FIP1L1-PDGFRA. These patients are diagnosed as chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL). We treated seven CEL and HES patients, six of which expressed FIP1L1-PDGFRA , with imatinib using initial daily doses ranging from 100 to 400 mg. In a remission maintenance phase, the patients were treated with imatinib once weekly. All imatinib-treated patients achieved a complete haematological remission (CHR), and five of the six patients with FIP1L1-PDGFRA expression exhibited molecular remission. The decreased imatinib doses were as follows: 200 mg/week in three patients, 100 mg/week in two patients and 100 mg/d in the remaining two patients. For remission maintenance, imatinib doses were set at 100 mg/week in five patients and 200 mg/week in two patients. At a median follow-up of 30 months all patients remained in CHR and FIP1L1-PDGFRA expression was undetectable in five of the six FIP1L1-PDGFRA -expressing patients. These data suggest that a single weekly dose of imatinib is sufficient to maintain remission in FIP1L1-PDGFRA - positive CEL patients.  相似文献

Purpose

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) are characterized by sustained overproduction of eosinophils and organ dysfunction. CEL involves the presence of clonal genetic markers, such as a fusion of FIP1-like 1 protein and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (FIP1L1-PDGFRα, or F/P) or PDGFRα-activating mutations.

Methods

Sixteen patients with HES/CEL were enrolled in the phase 2 nilotinib registration trial (NCT00109707) and treated with nilotinib 400 mg twice daily. The median duration of treatment was 95 days (range 3–1,079).

Results

Twelve patients had HES: 1 achieved a complete hematologic response (CHR), 3 achieved stable disease, 3 had progressive disease, and 5 were not evaluable for response. Four patients had CEL: 2 with the F/P fusion and 2 with PDGFRα-activating mutations. Both patients with an F/P fusion achieved a CHR; 1 also achieved a complete molecular response (CMR). Of the 2 patients with PDGFRα-activating mutations, 1 had stable disease and the other achieved CMR. At 24 months, overall survival in the HES group was 75.0 % (95 % CI 50.5–100.0) and no patients in the CEL group died. Median survival was not yet reached after a median follow-up of 32 months. The most common grade 3/4 hematologic laboratory abnormalities were lymphocytopenia (31.3 %) and neutropenia (25.0 %). The most common drug-related nonhematologic grade 3/4 adverse event was pruritus, which occurred in 2 patients (12.5 %).

Conclusions

Nilotinib 400 mg twice daily was effective in some patients with HES/CEL regardless of F/P mutation status, and the safety profile was consistent with other nilotinib studies.  相似文献

Although imatinib is clearly the treatment of choice for FIP1L1/PDGFRA-positive chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), little is known about optimal dosing, duration of treatment, and the possibility of cure in this disorder. To address these questions, 5 patients with FIP1L1/PDGFRA-positive CEL with documented clinical, hematologic, and molecular remission on imatinib (400 mg daily) and without evidence of cardiac involvement were enrolled in a dose de-escalation trial. The imatinib dose was tapered slowly with close follow-up for evidence of clinical, hematologic, and molecular relapse. Two patients with endomyocardial fibrosis were maintained on imatinib 300 to 400 mg daily and served as controls. All 5 patients who underwent dose de-escalation, but neither of the control patients, experienced molecular relapse (P < .05). None developed recurrent symptoms, and eosinophil counts, serum B12, and tryptase levels remained suppressed. Reinitiation of therapy at the prior effective dose led to molecular remission in all 5 patients, although 2 patients subsequently required increased dosing to maintain remission. These data are consistent with suppression rather than elimination of the clonal population in FIP1L1/PDGFRA-positive CEL and suggest that molecular monitoring may be the most useful method in determining optimal dosing without the risk of disease exacerbation. This trial was registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as no. NCT00044304.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of imatinib dose escalation in Chinese patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).METHODS: Advanced GIST patients previously failing 400 mg imatinib treatment were enrolled in this study. Patients received imatinib with dose escalation to 600 mg/d, and further dose escalation to 800 mg/d if imatinib 600 mg/d failed. Progression-free survival, overall survival, clinical efficacy, c-kit/PDGFRA genotype and safety were evaluated.RESULTS: 52 patients were enrolled in this study. For the 47 evaluable patients receiving imatinib (600 mg/d), the disease control rate was 40.4%, and the median progression-free survival for all patients was 17 wk (95% CI: 3.9-30.1). The median overall survival after dose escalation was 81 wk (95% CI: 36.2-125.8). Adverse events, mainly edema, fatigue, granulocytopenia and skin rash were tolerable. However, further dose escalation (800 mg/d) in 14 cases was ineffective, with disease progression and severe adverse events. Among 30 cases examined for gene mutations, patients with exon 9 mutations experienced a better progression-free survival of 47 wk.CONCLUSION: Imatinib dose escalation to 600 mg/d is more appropriate for Chinese patients and may achieve further survival benefit.  相似文献

The translocation (9;22) gives rise to the p190(Bcr-Abl) and p210(Bcr-Abl) tyrosine kinase proteins, considered sufficient for leukemic transformation. Philadelphia-positive (Ph(+)) acute leukemia patients failing to respond to initial induction therapy have a poor prognosis with few effective treatment options. Imatinib is an orally administered, potent inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. We conducted a clinical trial in 56 patients with relapsed or refractory Ph(+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; 48 patients) or chronic myelogenous leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis (LyBC; 8 patients). Imatinib was given once daily at 400 mg or 600 mg. Imatinib induced complete hematologic responses (CHRs) and complete marrow responses (marrow-CRs) in 29% of ALL patients (CHR, 19%; marrow-CR, 10%), which were sustained for at least 4 weeks in 6% of patients. Median estimated time to progression and overall survival for ALL patients were 2.2 and 4.9 months, respectively. CHRs were reported for 3 (38%) of the patients with LyBC (one sustained CHR). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related nonhematologic toxicity was reported for 9% of patients; none of the patients discontinued therapy because of nonhematologic adverse reactions. Grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 54% and 27% of patients, respectively. Imatinib therapy resulted in a clinically relevant hematologic response rate in relapsed or refractory Ph(+) acute lymphoid leukemia patients, but development of resistance and subsequent disease progression were rapid. Further studies are warranted to test the effects of imatinib in combination with other agents and to define the mechanisms of resistance to imatinib.  相似文献

Imatinib mesylate targets the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding sites of the protein tyrosine kinase domains associated with Bcr-abl, the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and c-kit. In idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) PDGF is considered to be one of the growth factors responsible for the development of bone marrow fibrosis. Recently, it has been shown that imatinib has antifibrogenic effect on bone marrow fibrosis in chronic myelogenous leukemia. Treatment with imatinib alone in IMF has been associated with significant side effects. In this study, the safety and efficacy of imatinib therapy in IMF, either administered as a single agent or in combination with hydroxyurea (HU) and/or alpha-interferon (IFN-alpha) are evaluated. Eleven patients (median age, 63 years; range, 33-82 years) with IMF (n = 8) or postpolycythemic myelofibrosis (PPMF) (n = 3) were studied All patients had been treated with HU (n = 9) and/or IFN (n = 7) before study entry. In all but one patient, treatment with these agents was discontinued when imatinib therapy was instituted. One patient continued IFN when treatment with imatinib was started. Imatinib was given at a dose of 400 mg/day. Nine patients were in an advanced disease phase. The patients have been followed for a median period of 2 months (range, 0.5-12 months). Treatment with imatinib has been stopped in six patients (55%), because of overt side effects (n = 4), recurrence of transitory dizziness and visual defects owing to a rising platelet count (n = 1), or the occurrence of an acute subdural hemorrhage that was evacuated without neurological deficits (n = 1). In nine patients imatinib treatment was followed by a rise in leukocyte and platelet counts that required combination with HU or IFN. The combined treatment modalities were followed by a rapid decrease in cell counts and were well tolerated apart from IFN side effects. A beneficial effect of imatinib was documented in three patients. It is concluded that leukocytosis and thrombocytosis are seen in most patients with myelofibrosis during treatment with imatinib. Combination therapy with HU or IFN seems safe and well tolerated and followed by a decrease in disease activity. A subgroup of patients in an early disease phase might benefit from imatinib therapy alone.  相似文献

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a heterogenous group of hematological disorders characterized by eosinophilia (> 1.5 x 10(9)/l) persistent for more than 6 months, exclusion of reactive eosinophilia from other causes, such as parasitic infections or allergy, and evidence of end-organ damage. According to World Health Organization the exclusion includes all neoplastic disorders in which eosinophils are part of the neoplastic clone. Excluded should be also T cell population with aberant phenotype and abnormal cytokine production, recently considert also as "lymphocytic" variants of the HES [42]. HES has to be reclassified as chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) when there is evidence for clonality based on the presence of chromosomal abnormalities or inactivation of X-chromosome in female patients. The successful empiric treatment of patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (Glivec) suggested the presence of an imatinib-sensitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The identification of a specific intersticial chromosome deletion del(4)(q12;q12) creating the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene confirmed this hypothesis. Patients carrying this gene should be reclassified as CEL and detection of this gene is a positive predictor for response to imatinib therapy. Effective doses of imatinib are 100 mg/day. The side effects are minimal. The only exception is an acute left ventricular dysfunction which has been reported in three patients within the first week of treatment with imatinib. Imatinib has been successfully used also in some patients with the constitutively activated thyrosine kinase ETV6-PDGFRbeta [1] and in systemic mast cell disease associated with eosinophilia. Other therapeutical options for HES/CEL have been mentioned. The resistence to imatinib and the possibilities how to overcome it are discussed.  相似文献

Although imatinib may be effective in hypereosinophilic syndromes, the exact response kinetics are not known. Imatinib was administered at 100–400 mg/d each week in a 12-week response-oriented schedule, targeting a complete clinical and haematological remission (CR). CR was achieved in 11/23 patients (6/6 with FIP1L1 - PDGRFA rearrangement and 5/17 without, P  = 0·006), most after 2 weeks of 100 mg/d imatinib. The maximum imatinib dose had no effect in early unresponsive patients. Low-dose, short-course imatinib may represent a rational choice for identifying responsive cases, both within and outside the pre-defined FIP1L1 rearrangement subset.  相似文献

Fourteen adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) were studied to evaluate the role of imatinib prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Of these, 12 patients were in complete hematologic response (CHR), and 2 were refractory. Imatinib was administered as an interim schedule after each chemotherapy course. After the first imatinib cycle, 11 patients remained in sustained CHR with a decrease in the BCR-ABL/ABL ratios (0.89 logs), and one refractory patient achieved CHR. Meanwhile, 2 patients were resistant to imatinib. Ten patients receiving a second imatinib cycle following consolidation showed sustained CHR, including 2 molecular CR, with a further decrease in the BCR-ABL/ABL ratios (0.19 logs). Twelve patients underwent SCT in a favorable status, and of these, 11 are still alive in a leukemia-free status at 9 to 28+ months after SCT. First-line imatinib interim therapy appears to be a useful strategy to bridge the time to SCT for patients with Ph+ ALL.  相似文献

The FIP1L1-PDGFRA oncogene is a common cause of chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), and encodes an activated tyrosine kinase that is inhibited by imatinib. FIP1L1-PDGFRA-positive patients with CEL respond to low-dose imatinib therapy, but resistance due to acquired T674I mutation has been observed. We report here the identification of sorafenib as a potent inhibitor of the FIP1 like 1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha) (T674I) mutant. Sorafenib inhibited the proliferation of FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha and FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha(T674I)-transformed Ba/F3 cells and induced apoptosis of the EOL-1 cell line at a low nanomolar concentration. Western blot analysis confirmed that these effects were due to a direct effect on FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha and FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha(T674I). Sorafenib was recently approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Our data suggest that low doses of sorafenib could be efficient for the treatment of FIP1L1-PDGFRA-positive CEL and could be used to overcome resistance to imatinib associated with the T674I mutation.  相似文献

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is caused by expression of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase oncogene, the product of the t(9;22) Philadelphia translocation. Patients with CML in accelerated phase have rapidly progressive disease and are characteristically unresponsive to existing therapies. Imatinib (formerly STI571) is a rationally developed, orally administered inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase. A total of 235 CML patients were enrolled in this study, of whom 181 had a confirmed diagnosis of accelerated phase. Patients were treated with imatinib at 400 or 600 mg/d and were evaluated for hematologic and cytogenetic response, time to progression, survival, and toxicity. Imatinib induced hematologic response in 82% of patients and sustained hematologic responses lasting at least 4 weeks in 69% (complete in 34%). The rate of major cytogenetic response was 24% (complete in 17%). Estimated 12-month progression-free and overall survival rates were 59% and 74%, respectively. Nonhematologic toxicity was usually mild or moderate, and hematologic toxicity was manageable. In comparison to 400 mg, imatinib doses of 600 mg/d led to more cytogenetic responses (28% compared to 16%), longer duration of response (79% compared to 57% at 12 months), time to disease progression (67% compared to 44% at 12 months), and overall survival (78% compared to 65% at 12 months), with no clinically relevant increase in toxicity. Orally administered imatinib is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients with CML in accelerated phase. A daily dose of 600 mg is more effective than 400 mg, with similar toxicity.  相似文献

Rationale:Patients with rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who achieve a complete response (CR) with imatinib therapy have rarely been reported in the literature. Moreover, no treatment guidelines have been established for rectal GIST patients with CR after imatinib treatment, warranting further studies.Patient concerns:A 51-year-old man presented to our outpatient clinic in October 2013 with complaints of difficulty to defecate and a change in stool characteristics. During digital rectal examination, a mass was palpated within 5 cm from the anal verge. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 8.1 × 7.2-cm rectal mass with significant enhancement during the arterial phase.Diagnoses:A diagnosis of GIST was established after conducting needle biopsy and immunohistochemistry staining.Interventions:Imatinib therapy (400 mg/d, oral administration) was immediately started. When the patient achieved clinical CR (cCR), the oncologist recommended the patient to continue imatinib treatment.Outcomes:At 7 months after imatinib administration, the patient achieved cCR. As suggested by the oncologist, the patient continued to receive imatinib treatment after cCR. After 13 months, the patient spontaneously stopped imatinib. Finally, tumor recurrence was observed 7 months later.Lessons:Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced rectal GIST patients who achieve cCR after imatinib treatment. Close follow-up and continuous imatinib treatment are indicated in patients who cannot undergo surgery.  相似文献

Background  

Primary eosinophlia associated with the FIP1L1-PDGFRA rearrangement represents a subset of chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL) and affected patients are very sensitive to imatinib treatment. This study was undertaken in order to examine the prevalence and the associated clinicopathologic and genetic features of FIP1L1-PDGFRA rearrangement in a cohort of 15 adult patients presenting with profound eosinophilia (> 1.5 × 109/L).  相似文献

A 23-year-old female was diagnosed as having simultaneous ulcerative colitis (UC) relapse and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES)/chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) without FIP1L1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) (F/P) fusion gene. Pathological findings of colon specimens were compatible with UC, however, focal severe infiltration of eosinophils was observed in the rectum, which is unusual in UC, suggesting eosinophil-mediated organ damage. Although imatinib mesylate (IM) is usually ineffective for the treatment of HES/CEL with negative-F/P fusion gene, in the present case it led to the remission of HES/CEL and UC at a higher drug dosage level (400 mg/day). That suggested the presence of unknown tyrosine kinase abnormalities not yet categorized.  相似文献

A 77-year-old man with cough and dyspnea was admitted to hospital. Chest X-ray demonstrated reticulated shadows in the bilateral inferior lung fields and marked eosinophilia was detected in peripheral blood. Although he received steroid pulse therapy, eosinophilia became more serious and he was referred to our hospital. Bone marrow examination demonstrated a hypercellular marrow that consisted predominantly of dysplastic eosinophils with differentiation. FISH analysis of bone marrow cells demonstrated 4q12 deletion and RT-PCR analysis detected FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene, leading to the diagnosis of chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL). Treatment with low-dose imatinib was immediately initiated; however, drug-induced systemic edema was progressive and became intolerable. Therefore, we changed imatinib to low-dose dasatinib (20 mg/day), resulting in complete molecular response of CEL after 3 months without any severe adverse effects. This is the first report on the efficacy of low-dose dasatinib for the treatment of CEL. The peak level (Cmax) of dasatinib in this patient was 55.3 nM, which exceeded the concentration of dasatinib required to inhibit cells with FIP1L1-PDGFRA by 50%. Thus, low-dose dasatinib with therapeutic drug monitoring can be a useful therapy for imatinib-intolerant CEL even in elderly patients.  相似文献

Imatinib, the first Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) has revolutionized the management by inhibiting BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. According to earlier reports there are concerns regarding the adverse effect of imatinib on haemostasis by causing platelet dysfunction. Here we studied platelet function using platelet aggregometry, in 19 CML chronic phase (CML-CP) patients on imatinib therapy, in complete haematologic response (CHR). The median duration of imatinib therapy before performing the test was 154 days. This study reveals that there are large inter-individual variations in platelet functions among imatinib treated patients and different levels of variability have been seen for different agonists. Most common aggregation abnormality (< 50% aggregation) was seen with low dose collagen (1 μg/ml) in 31.57% patients. Despite in-vitro platelet aggregation defects, none of the patients showed any bleeding symptoms. This enigma can possibly be explained by the fact that platelet specific agonists, epinephrine and collagen act in synergy for platelet aggregation compared against individual low dose agonists, supported by ex-vivo experiments in normal healthy control group (n = 5) (p value < 0.0004 for epinephrine, p value < 0.0001 for collagen). This experiment was also confirmed in a CML-CP patient. In future, more studies are needed to find out the exact mechanism of this inhibition.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s12288-020-01376-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.  相似文献
