Clinical efficacy and safety of flumatinib versus dasatinib combined with multi-drug chemotherapy in adults with Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Hematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy 2024 Februrary 21
INTRODUCTION: Flumatinib, a highly selective ABL kinase inhibitor, exhibits stronger inhibition of intracellular BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase activity, compared to Imatinib. However, there is limited research comparing the real-world efficacy and safety of flumatinib and dasatinib in patients with Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).
OBJECTIVE: Investigating the differences in therapeutic efficacy and safety between flumatinib and dasatinib in combination with multi-drug chemotherapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
METHOD: In this study, we assessed 43 patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL (20 in the flumatinib group, 23 in the dasatinib group).
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in gender, age, fusion gene type, initial blood routine, bone marrow blast cell ratio or chromosome karyotype between the two groups. Within 1 month, there were no significant differences in the complete response (CR), major molecular response (MMR) or minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate between the flumatinib and dasatinib groups. Similarly, within 3 months, there were no significant differences in CR or MMR rates between the two groups. However, the rates of complete molecular response (CMR) and MRD negativity within 3 months were significantly higher in the flumatinib group, compared to the dasatinib group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the flumatinib group exhibited fewer adverse reactions compared to the dasatinib group.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that flumatinib is a safe and effective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for achieving CMR and MRD negativity in patients with Ph+ ALL, as supported by this small series of patients.
