Clinical Characteristics and Late-Line Treatment Patterns of Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Who Received 2 Prior Lines of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy in US Community Oncology Practices
Abstract:BACKGROUND: Current treatment guidelines recommend tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as first-line and second-line treatment options for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). 1,2 However, approximately 20% of CML patients fail to respond to the first- and second-generation TKIs, and evidence-based guidelines for late-line treatment options after failure/intolerance to TKIs are limited. 3,4 Therefore, this study sought to describe the clinical characteristics and real-world treatment patterns of CML pat… Show more
