Treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic-phase CML in clinical practice: 3-year European SIMPLICITY data.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

SIMPLICITY (NCT01244750) is an observational study of patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) in routine clinical practice receiving first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We evaluated TKI treatment changes and how switching affects clinical response in patients recruited in Europe with ≥3 years of follow-up.

Methods

The SIMPLICITY European cohort (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain) included 431 patients. 370 (86%) were followed for ≥3 years.

Results

Proportions of patients experiencing treatment interruptions, TKI switching, and discontinuations decreased over 3 years' follow-up. Intolerance was a key driver for treatment changes. Complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) was achieved in 87.5% of patients sw
