Bosutinib

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the survival of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), however, older patients are often underrepresented in pivotal trials. Approximately 20% of older adults never start treatment and face significant barriers to accomplish favorable outcomes. The treatment goal is to improve survival, prevent progression, and preserve quality of life. This is achieved through optimizing TKI doses and employing discontinuation strategies to attain treatment-free remission (TFR), a goal increasingly pursued by older patients...

The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has become the mainstay of treatment in patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), an adult leukemia caused by a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, which creates an oncogene resulting in a myeloproliferative neoplasm. These drugs function by inhibiting the ATP-binding site on the fusion oncoprotein and subsequently halting proliferative activity. The goal of this work is to investigate the current state of research into genetic factors that influence the efficacy of four FDA-approved TKIs used to treat CML...

Dasatinib is one of the second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) which is approved for the treatment of patients with chronic phase CML (CP-CML) both in the front line and in the second line setting. Pleural effusion (PE) is a unique toxicity associated with dasatinib use. Our aim was to study the incidence of pleural effusion in our cohort of patients who were treated with dasatinib for CP-CML and the safety upon TKI switch. A total of 390 patients were treated with dasatinib during their course of treatment for CP-CML...

Host-acting compounds are emerging as potential alternatives to combating antibiotic resistance. Here, we show that bosutinib, an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia, does not possess any antibiotic activity but enhances macrophage responses to bacterial infection. In vitro, bosutinib stimulates murine and human macrophages to kill bacteria more effectively. In a murine wound infection with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis , a single intraperitoneal bosutinib injection or multiple topical applications on the wound reduce the bacterial load by approximately 10-fold, which is abolished by macrophage depletion...

INTRODUCTION: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) but are endowed with negative effects on endothelial function. OBJECTIVES: To characterize endothelial function in patients with CML treated with various TKIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-eight patients diagnosed with chronic phase CML treated with TKIs, such as imatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib, ponatinib, and asciminib were included...

In the field of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), new strategies are needed to increase the rate of successful treatment discontinuations, a crucial goal in this disease. Anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors are a promising therapeutic approach in CML after the demonstration of an increase of these inhibitory molecules in patients with CML. A phase Ib/II (NCT04793399, registration date March 11, 2021) open-label exploratory trial has been conducted to evaluate the safety of atezolizumab, a humanized anti-PD-L1 antibody, in combination with bosutinib in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy notorious for its high relapse rate and development of drug resistance, in which cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance plays a critical role. This study integrated four RNA sequencing datasets (CoMMpass, GSE136337, GSE9782, and GSE2658) and focused on analyzing 1706 adhesion-related genes. Rigorous univariate Cox regression analysis identified 18 key prognosis-related genes, including KIF14, TROAP, FLNA, MSN, LGALS1, PECAM1, and ALCAM, which demonstrated the strongest associations with poor overall survival (OS) in MM patients...

The BYOND study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bosutinib 500 mg once daily in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) resistant/intolerant to prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). These post-hoc analyses assessed the efficacy and safety of bosutinib by resistance or intolerance to prior TKIs (imatinib-resistant vs dasatinib/nilotinib-resistant vs TKI-intolerant), and cross-intolerance between bosutinib and prior TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib), in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic phase CML...

Targeted therapies enhance the efficacy of tumour screening and management while lowering side effects. Multiple tumours, including liver cancer, exhibit elevated levels of folate receptor expression. This research attempted to develop surface-functionalised bosutinib cubosomes against hepatocellular carcinoma. The novelty of this work is the anti-hepatic action of bosutinib (BST) and folic acid-modified bosutinib cubosomes (BSTMF) established through proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (SrC)/ focal adhesion kinase(FAK), reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and cell cytotoxicity...

Purpose: This study aimed to provide real-world evidence on the characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in Hungary between 2011 and 2019. Patients and methods: This nationwide, retrospective study included patients who were newly diagnosed with CML in Hungarian clinical practice between January 2011 and December 2019. The analysis was based on the reimbursed prescription claims for imatinib, bosutinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, or ponatinib with the ICD-10 code C9210 in a public pharmacy between January 2009 and December 2019 using data from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) of Hungary...

BACKGROUND: With the increased use of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in cancer patients, adverse events (AEs) have garnered considerable interest. We conducted this pharmacovigilance study to evaluate the AEs of BCR-ABL1 TKIs in cancer patients using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS: To query AE reports from the FAERS database, we used OpenVigil 2.1. Descriptive analysis was then employed to describe the characteristics of TKIs-associated AE reports...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with fusions of ABL-class tyrosine kinase genes other than BCR::ABL1 occurs in approximately 3% of children with ALL. The tyrosine kinase genes involved in this BCR::ABL1-like (Ph-like) subtype include ABL1, PDGFRB, ABL2, and CSF1R, which each have up to ten described partner genes. ABL-class ALL resembles BCR::ABL1-positive ALL by a similar gene expression profile, a poor response to chemotherapy, and sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). There is a lack of comprehensive data regarding TKI sensitivity for the heterogeneous group of ABL-class ALL...

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is situated at the convergence of neurodegenerative disorders, posing an intricate and diverse clinical dilemma. The accumulation of abnormal protein in the brain, namely, the Lewy body causes disturbances in typical neural functioning, leading to a range of cognitive, motor, and mental symptoms that have a substantial influence on the overall well-being and quality of life of affected individuals. There is no definitive cure for the disease; however, several nonpharmacological and pharmacological modalities have been tried with questionable efficacies...

The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial factor in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression. To gain deeper insights into molecular mechanisms of LUAD, we perform an integrative single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis of 377,574 cells from 117 LUAD patient samples. By linking scRNA-seq data with bulk gene expression data, we identify a cluster of prognostic-related UPP1high tumor cells. These cells, primarily situated at the invasive front of tumors, display a stronger association with the immunosuppressive components in the TME...

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome and the consequent BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein. In the era before the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the only potentially curative treatment was allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here, we present the case of a patient affected by CML who experienced a relapse 20 years after allogeneic HSCT. Following relapse, the patient was treated with imatinib and bosutinib, resulting in a deep molecular response and successfully discontinued treatment...

INTRODUCTION: The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) was revolutionary in the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Although TKIs were generally considered to be safe, they can be associated with renal injury. We evaluated the effect of TKIs on renal functions in a cohort of patients with long-term follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined patients with chronic phase CML treated with TKIs. We analyzed the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of patients from the initiation of TKI to the last follow-up...

The development of the BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has transformed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from a fatal disease to an often-indolent illness that, when managed effectively, can restore a life expectancy close to that of the normal population. Bosutinib is a second-generation TKI approved for adults with Ph-positive CML in chronic phase, accelerated phase, or blast phase that is resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, and for newly diagnosed Ph-positive chronic phase CML...

BACKGROUND: Cuproptosis is a newly discovered cell death mechanism that relies on mitochondrial respiration, for which oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is an essential part. However, detailed mechanisms of cuproptosis associated with OXPHOS in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and how this correlation affects prognosis still remains unclear. METHODS: scRNA-seq data of ESCC were downloaded from SRA (Sequence Read Archive) database. "AUCell" algorithm was used to grouping epitheliums according to cuproptosis and OXPHOS score...

BACKGROUND: While the outcomes of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) patients aged over 65 years have been extensively evaluated in real-life experiences, limited data exist for the very elderly population (i.e., aged ≥ 75 years), especially for next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In this retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TKIs in this particular setting of patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a multicenter cohort of 123 newly diagnosed CP-CML very elderly patients...
