Dasatinib is an orally available short-acting dual ABL/SRC tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It potently inhibits BCR-ABL and SRC family kinases (SRC, LCK, YES, FYN), but also c-KIT, PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β, and ephrin receptor kinase. Dasatinib is an effective treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Both diseases are characterized by a constitutively active tyrosine kinase; BCR-ABL. Dasatinib inhibits BCR-ABL with greater potency compared with other BCR-ABL inhibitors and is active in CML resistant or intolerant to imatinib. Dasatinib is approved for the treatment of CML (all phases) and for the treatment of Ph+ ALL, resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib treatment. Randomized trial data in CML show that first-line dasatinib provides superior responses compared with imatinib and enables patients to achieve early, deep responses, correlated with improved longer-term outcomes. A once-daily dose of 100 mg in chronic phase CML results in high hematologic and molecular remission rates and prolongation of survival. In accelerated and blastic phase of CML, as well as in Ph+ ALL, complete hematologic and cytogenetic remissions frequently occur. Remissions however are very short. In these patients, once-daily 140 mg is the recommended dose. The effect of dasatinib in other malignancies including solid tumors is subject of clinical studies. Regardless of many clinical trials in different tumor types and in different combinations of dasatinib with other agents, the role of dasatinib in the treatment of solid tumors has not yet been defined. Side effects of dasatinib are frequent but mostly moderate and manageable and include cytopenias and pleural effusions. The review presents the preclinical and clinical activity of dasatinib with a focus on clinical studies in CML.
Dasatinib, (former BMS 354825), is an orally available small-molecule multikinase inhibitor. It potently inhibits BCR-ABL and SRC-family kinases (SRC, LCK, YES, FYN), but also c-KIT, PDGFR-alpha and beta, and ephrin receptor kinase.Dasatinib is about 300 times more potent than imatinib in cells expressing unmutated BCR-ABL in vitro. The drug has demonstrated activity against clinically relevant mutations, including those associated with poor prognosis during ongoing imatinib therapy.Dasatinib is approved for the treatment of patients with BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), resistant or intolerant to imatinib in chronic, accelerated, and blast phase. It also is approved for the treatment of Philadelphia Chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) resistant or intolerant to imatinib.A single daily dose of 100 mg in chronic phase CML results in high hematologic and molecular remission rates and prolongation of survival. In accelerated and blastic phase as well as in ALL, 70 mg twice daily is recommended. Complete hematologic and cytogenetic remissions (CR) frequently occur even in this patient group with poor prognosis. Remissions however are very short.Side effects of dasatinib are frequent but mostly moderate and manageable and include cytopenias and pleural effusions. The role of dasatinib in other diseases, including solid tumors, has to be identified.
Dasatinib is an oral available short-acting inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases. It was designed to inhibit ABL and SRC, but also has activity in multiple other kinases, including c-KIT, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, and ephrin receptor kinases. Dasatinib is a very potent inhibitor of BCR-ABL and an effective treatment for the BCR-ABL-driven diseases chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), characterized by the constitutively active tyrosine kinase, BCR-ABL. Dasatinib is approved for the treatment of CML (all phases) including children and for the treatment of Ph+ ALL, resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib treatment. Randomized trials in CML comparing dasatinib with imatinib show that first-line dasatinib causes significantly deeper and faster molecular remissions. In accelerated and blastic phase CML, as well as in Ph+ ALL, dasatinib frequently induces complete hematologic and cytogenetic remissions even in imatinib pretreated patients. Remissions however are often short. Dasatinib is administered independent of food intake as a once-daily dose of 100 mg in chronic phase CML and 140 mg in Ph+ ALL or blastic phase. Side effects of dasatinib are frequent but mostly moderate and manageable and include cytopenias and pleural effusions. The review presents the preclinical and clinical activity of dasatinib with a focus on clinical studies in CML.
animals to maintain a normal acid-base equilibrium of the blood and to eliminate phenolsulphanephthalein.Structural modification associated with the ageing process which may or may not be designated disease, has resulted in the stabilization of a fundamental equilibrium of the animal organism as the animal relates itself to its normal environment and to an abnormal environment brought about by the introduction of a chemical body foreign to its tissues.Summary. Twenty-three senile dogs showing varying degrees of glomerular in jury and at the same time a fairly diffuse change in the type of epithelium in the proximal segment of the renal nephron from a normal order of cuboidal cell to one of a flattened, less spe-cialized type of cell when subjected to the anesthetic action of chloroform for 45 minutes fail to show, as the result of the use of this body, a reduction in the elimination of phenolsulphanephthalein, or a reduction in the reserve alkali of the blood from that value which these animals have established as their pathological normal. In a group of 29 control senile animals, with a normal urine, both chemically and microscopically, with the same order of change in the glomeruli but with, in general, a normal order of cytological structure in the proximal segment of the renal nephron when anesthetized for 45 minutes with chloroform show a marked decrease in the elimination of phenolsulphanephthalein and a reduction in the reserve alkali of the blood.
UBA1 is an X-linked gene and encodes an ubiquitin-activating enzyme. Three somatic mutations altering the alternative start codon (M41) in UBA1 in hematopoietic precursor cells have recently been described, resulting in a syndrome of severe inflammation, cytopenias, and the presence of intracellular vacuoles in hematopoietic precursors - termed VEXAS syndrome, a predominantly male disease. Here we present a patient with clinical features of VEXAS who harbored two novel somatic variants in UBA1 (I894S and N606I). To better understand the clinical relevance and biological consequences of non-M41 (UBA1non-M41) variants, we analyzed the whole genome and transcriptome data of 4168 patients with hematological malignancies and detected an additional 16 UBA1non-M41 putative somatic variants with a clear sex-bias in patients with myeloid malignancies. Patients diagnosed with myeloid malignancies carrying UBA1non-M41 putative somatic variants either had vacuoles or immunodysregulatory symptoms. Analysis of the transcriptome confirmed neutrophil activation in VEXAS patients compared to healthy controls but did not result in a specific transcriptomic signature of UBA1M41 patients in comparison with MDS patients. In summary, we have described multiple putative novel UBA1non-M41 variants in patients with various hematological malignancies expanding the genomic spectrum of VEXAS syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
