1 Discontinuation of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: What s Stopping us from Stopping? David Pham, PharmD PGY2 Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Resident South Texas VA Health Care System Division of Pharmacotherapy, The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy Pharmacotherapy Education and Research Center, UT Health San Antonio San Antonio, Texas January 11, 2019 Learning Objectives: 1. Describe the disease state, diagnosis, and management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) 2. Compare and contrast tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other agents used in the management of CML 3. Evaluate the available literature regarding potential discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in CML 4. Evaluate the available literature regarding potential second discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in CML Pham 1
2 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia I. Definition 1 A. Myeloproliferative neoplasm that affects the myeloid lineage of the hematopoietic stem cell differentiation pathway B. Results in the overproduction of immature myeloid blast cells C. Affects the production and maturation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets Figure 1. Stem Cell Differentiation Pathway Table 1. Phases of CML 2,F10 Chronic Phase (CP) Accelerated Phase (AP) Blast Phase (BP) Majority of Characterized by symptoms and increasing blast Presents and behaves like an patients are count acute leukemia diagnosed during Can progress to blast phase if left untreated Patients symptomatic with chronic phase Worse prognosis high blast count May or may not Behaves like acute leukemia be symptomatic Worst prognosis but typically Modified criteria per MD Anderson Cancer Center Criteria per International Bone responsive to Criteria Marrow Transplant Registry standard Peripheral blood myeloblasts between 15-30% 30% blasts in blood, bone treatments Peripheral blood myeloblasts and promyelocytes marrow, or both Can progress to combined 30% Extramedullary infiltrates of accelerated or Peripheral blood basophils 20% leukemic cells blast phase if left Platelets 100 x 10 9 /L unrelated to therapy untreated Additional clonal cytogenetic abnormalities in Ph+ cells II. Background 2 A BCR-ABL1 first identified by Drs. Nowell and Hungerford in Philadelphia, PA and CML becomes first leukemia with chromosomal abnormality linked to pathophysiology B. Historically, interferon was a standard therapy for the treatment of CML i. Poor outcomes 10-year survival of approximately 20% ii. Toxic regimen flu-like symptoms, depression, pancytopenia C.

BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase Pathway IV. Epidemiology 2,3,4 A. Constitutes approximately 15% of all new leukemia diagnoses in adults B. Lifetime risk i. Approximately 1 in 526 Americans will develop CML in their lifetime ii. About 50% of individuals with newly diagnosed CML are age 65 or older at the time of diagnosis C. Incidence i. Affects approximately 1-2 individuals per 100,000 adults ii. An estimated 8,430 individuals will be diagnosed with CML in 2018 with approximately 1,090 deaths D. Survival Pham 3
4 i. 10-year overall survival increased from ~20% to ~80-90% after 2001 Figure 4. CML Survival Over Time V. Clinical Presentation 2,5,10 A. Signs and symptoms i. ~50% of patients asymptomatic diagnosis made after incidental findings ii. Symptomatic patients may have fatigue, weight loss, splenomegaly, night sweats, easy bleeding, malaise, loss of appetite B. Laboratory findings i. WBC >25,000 cells/mm 3 ii.

Prognostic Score Equations 6-10 Study Calculation Risk Definition Exp x (age in years 43.4) + (spleen Low: <0.8 Sokal et al, 7.51) x [(platelet count 700) ] Intermediate: x (blast cells 2.10) High: >1.2 Hasford et al, when age 50 years + (0.042 x spleen) when platelet count > 1500 x 10 9 /L + ( x blast cells) when basophils > 3% + ( x eosinophils) x 100 Low: 780 Intermediate: High: >1480 iv. Categorizing CML as low, moderate, or high risk helps dictate choice of initial TKI used Low risk imatinib Intermediate or high risk dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib I. Historical treatment timeline 2,5 A Italian Cooperative Study Group: interferon vs. chemotherapy 11 i. OS: 72 vs. 52, p < ii. Time to progression to AP/BP: 72 vs. 45 (p < 0.001) iii. Patients undergoing allogeneic transplant: 36/322 patients (11%) data censored iv. Patients stopping treatment due to toxic effects: 16% vs. 0% (p<0.001) v. Adverse effects of interferon : a. Usually multiple: Flu-like symptoms (asthenia, fever, headache, arthralgia, myalgia), nausea, anorexia, diarrhea, weight loss b. Stopping treatment: polyneuropathy; a syndrome of confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, and depression B Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy i. In 2001, results from the IRIS trial introduced a new era of targeted therapy that has since replaced interferon as the standard treatment for CML 12 ii. TKIs have improved life expectancies, offered a more tolerable adverse effect profile, and precluded the need for allogeneic transplant and its complications such as infections and graft versus host disease iii. Agents a. First generation: imatinib b. Second generation: dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib c. Third generation: ponatinib Table 3.

Initial TKI selection for CP-CML is based on risk score, TKI toxicities, age, comorbidities, and ability to tolerate therapy C. Protein synthesis inhibitor therapy: omacetaxine 18 i. Reserved for after failure of 2 or more TKIs ii. Reserved for T315I mutation II. Monitoring Response to TKI Therapy and Mutational Analysis 2,10,19 A. Goals of Therapy i. If in CP remain in CP and prevent progression to AP/BP a. Long life expectancies for patients who remain in CP while on treatment b. Lower life expectancies even if patients in AP/BP are able to achieve CP again ii. If in AP achieve CP and proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplantation a. Prognosis is significantly worse in patients who progress to AP iii. If in BP achieve CP and proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplantation a. Prognosis is significantly worse in patients who progress to BP b. Acquisition of additional genetic mutations such as trisomy 8, isochromosome 17, trisomy 21 and deletion 7 causes CML to progress from CP to either myeloid BP (~2/3 of patients) or lymphoid BP (~1/3 of patients) B. Monitoring Response to TKI Therapy 2,10 i. Types of responses a. Hematologic response: improvement of blood counts and signs/symptoms b. Cytogenetic response: amount of Philadelphia chromosomes in metaphase c. Molecular response: number of BCR-ABL1 transcripts present Table 4. Response Criteria for TKI Therapy 10 Response Type Criteria Normal peripheral blood count WBC <10,000 cells/mm 3 Hematologic Platelets < 450,000 cells/mm 3 No immature cells in the peripheral blood No signs or symptoms of disease Complete (CCyR): 0% Ph+ metaphases Major (MCyR): 0-35% Ph+ metaphases Cytogenetic Partial (PCyR): 1-35% Ph+ metaphases Minor: >35-65% Ph+ metaphases Early: BCR-ABL1 10% at 3 and 6 Major (MMR): BCR-ABL1 <0.1% or 3 log reduction in BCR-ABL1 Molecular mrna from the standardized baseline, if qpcr (IS) is not available Complete (CMR): no detectable BCR-ABL mrna by qpcr (IS) o BCR-ABL % yields a 4.5-log reduction (MR4.5) ii. Tests for monitoring response a. Types of tests Table 5. Tests for Monitoring Response 5,10 Test Recommendation for Monitoring Bone marrow At diagnosis aspiration/ Failure to reach response milestones biopsy Any sign of molecular or cytogenetic relapse RT-qPCR (IS) At diagnosis Pham 6
7 BCR-ABL kinase domain mutation analysis Every 3 after starting treatment. After BCR-ABL1 (IS) between >0.1%-1% is reached, can monitor every 3 for 2 years, then every 3-6 thereafter If there is 1-log increase in BCR-ABL transcript levels with MMR, qpcr should be repeated in 1-3 Chronic phase o Failure to reach response milestones o Any sign of molecular or cytogenetic relapse o 1-log increase in BCR-ABL transcript levels with loss of MMR Disease progression to accelerated or blast phase b. Reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) blood test conducted periodically throughout treatment a) Monitors for presence and quantity of BCR-ABL1 transcripts b) Conducted every 3 for two years as long as patient is responding to treatment, followed by every 3-6 thereafter c) Helps determine if early treatment milestones are being achieved iii. Early Treatment Milestones a. Gold standard: Complete cytogenetic response at 12 Table 6. Early Treatment Milestones 10 BCR-ABL1 (IS) >15 >10% Possible TKI resistance TKI resistance >1% - 10% TKI sensitive disease Possible TKI resistance TKI resistance 1 % TKI sensitive disease iv. IRIS trial: 8-year follow-up 20 a. Results a) Event-free survival at 8 years: 81% b) Freedom from progression to AP/BP: 92% b. Take home: a) Patients on long-term imatinib maintain their responses b) Progression to AP/BP occurred early and risk for progression was minimal after year 3 v. Resistance to imatinib? 10,21 a. Evaluate adherence to TKI therapy and screen for drug interactions a) Poor adherence to therapy leads to worse outcomes i. Reasons for non-adherence 1. Intolerable adverse effects 2. High cost Table 7. Cost of Therapy 22 Drug Cost per month (AWP) Cost per year (AWP) Gleevec Imatinib $12, $11, $145, $142, Sprycel $15, $185, Tasigna $16, $196, Bosulif $17, $204, Iclusig $19, $238, Omacetaxine $10, $122, b) Drug-drug interactions i. TKIs are substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 1. CYP3A4 inducers decreased TKI concentration decreased efficacy and increased potential for relapse Pham 7
8 2. CYP3A4 inhibitors increase TKI concentration increased toxicities which may decrease adherence ii. Consider dose modifications if co-administration cannot be avoided b. Conduct kinase domain mutational analysis in patients who are intolerant to imatinib or in patients who progress to AP/BP a) If resistant mutation(s) present, consider second line treatment with 2 nd generation TKIs which have higher binding affinity for the ABL1 kinase i. Y253H, E255K/V, or F359V/C/I: dasatinib ii. F317L/V/I/C, T315A, or V299L: nilotinib iii. E255K/V, F317L/V/I/C, F359V/C/I, T315A, or Y253H: bosutinib iv. T315I: ponatinib, omacetaxine, allogeneic HS III. Controversy with TKI Discontinuation 24 A. Since the introduction of TKIs, chronic myeloid leukemia has evolved from an incurable and fatal disease to a manageable, chronic illness 2,5 i. Patients receiving long-term TKIs can achieve undetectable molecular BCR-ABL transcript levels ii. Optimal responders to therapy can have life expectancies similar to those of the general population iii. Potential long-term implications on quality of life resulting from lifelong TKI use may cause patients to want to stop their therapy B. Risks of TKI discontinuation include possible progression of leukemia and increased morbidity i. Significant risk for relapse of CML a. Untreated CP-CML can also progress to AP or BP ii. Development of TKI withdrawal syndrome 23 a. Reported in ~25-30% of patients who discontinue their TKI b. Characterized by low-grade, diffuse musculoskeletal pain a) Treated with NSAIDs or steroids b) Resolves with TKI resumption c. Appears within 1-2 following TKI discontinuation and can last up to 6 C. Benefits of TKI discontinuation include improved overall quality of life i. No longer taking medications that cause side effects like fatigue, edema, malaise, etc. ii. Reduced pill burden iii. Decreased medication costs iv. Women of childbearing age may now consider pregnancy following TKI discontinuation a. TKIs can cross through placenta b. Teratogenic toxicities Clinical Question #1 Is it appropriate to stop tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in patients who have chronic myeloid leukemia? Table 8. STIM trial 25 Mahon, et al.

11 Outcomes Authors Conclusions Reviewer s Interpretation Discussion First-line or subsequent dasatinib or nilotinib can be safely stopped in CML patients with deep and long-lasting molecular responses A suboptimal response or resistance prior to dasatinib or nilotinib is associated with significantly worse treatment-free remission Strengths Limitations Prospective, multicenter study Similar study criteria as previous imatinib discontinuation studies such as MR4.5 and relapse defined as loss of MMR Small sample size Mostly nilotinib/dasatinib for 2 nd line Included patients with history of progression to AP-CML Take-Home Points Dasatinib or nilotinib may be stopped after achieving deep molecular responses Prompt re-introduction of TKI after relapse is important in disease control Resistance or suboptimal response to prior therapy worsens treatment free remission Table 10. EURO-SKI trial 27 Saussele, et al. Lancet Oncol 2018; 19: Study Aim To define precise conditions for TKI discontinuation Study Design Prospective, single-arm, open label, non-randomized Patient Inclusion Population Age 18 years old Confirmed diagnosis of BCR-ABL1 positive CML in chronic phase Receiving first-line or second-line treatment with any TKI or taking a TKI as part of a combination treatment Needed 3 PCR results showing deep molecular response within the year +/- 2 Exclusion Previous allogeneic stem cell transplant Previous TKI treatment failure Active concomitant malignancies Intervention Molecular response was assessed using RT-qPCR Molecular response monitoring was done once monthly during the first 6 after TKI discontinuation, every 6 weeks until month 12, and then every 3 for at least 3 years Patients with confirmed deep molecular response could stop TKI treatment immediately Outcomes Primary: molecular relapse-free survival Secondary: factors affecting MMR maintenance at 6, cost impact of TKI discontinuation Molecular response assessed using RT-PCR and occurred monthly during first 6 after TKI discontinuation, every 6 weeks until month 12, and then every 3 for at least 3 years Pham 11

TKI discontinuation Take-Home Points Less deep MR (MR4.0) and loss of MMR are acceptable criteria Sokal and EUTOS risk scores not predictive of keeping MMR Previous IFN α, TKI duration, & DMR duration affects relapse-free survival at 6 IV. NCCN Guideline Recommendations for First TKI Discontinuation 10 A. TKIs may be safely discontinued in select patients B. Outside of a clinical trial, all of the following criteria must be met for TKI discontinuation: i. Age 18 or older ii. CP-CML only. No history of AP- or BP-CML Pham 12
13 Clinical Question #2 iii. On TKI therapy for at least 3 years iv. Prior evidence of quantifiable BCR-ABL1 transcripts v. Stable molecular response (MR4; BCR-ABL1 < 0.01% IS) for 2 years, as documented on at least 4 tests performed at least 3 apart vi. Molecular monitoring monthly for 1 year, then every 6 weeks for the second year, then every 12 weeks thereafter indefinitely vii. Prompt resumption of TKI within 4 weeks of a loss of MMR with molecular monitoring every 4 weeks until MMR is re-established Is it appropriate to stop tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in patients who have failed to achieve a treatment-free remission (TFR) after first discontinuation failure? Table 11. RE-STIM Trial 28 Legros, et al. Cancer 2017; 123(22): Study Aim To evaluate TFR after a second TKI discontinuation attempt Study Design Observational, multicenter study Patient Inclusion Population Age 18 years old Confirmed diagnosis of BCR-ABL1 positive CML in CP Failed a first TKI discontinuation attempt, regained deep molecular response with MR4.5, and discontinued TKI again Previously included in trials like STIM, A- STIM, or EURO-SKI Exclusion Previous autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant Patients with non-major BCR-ABL1 transcripts History of progression to AP-CML or BP-CML Intervention Molecular response was assessed using RT-qPCR Molecular response monitoring was done monthly during the first 12 after TKI discontinuation, every 2-3 during the second year, and then every 3-6 for up to 5 years Outcomes Primary: Treatment-free remission (TFR) Secondary: Lack of progression to advanced phase CML, efficacy of treatment resumption Molecular recurrence defined as loss of MMR corresponding with >0.1% BCR-ABL transcripts Results Baseline Characteristics 70 patients were enrolled in the study Baseline characteristics at second TKI discontinuation: Characteristic Patients Age at diagnosis, years 60 (36-93) Duration of TKI therapy before 2 nd 32 (6.0-72) discontinuation, Duration of umr4.5 before 2 nd 25 (4.0-68) discontinuation, First-line TKI Imatinib 50/70 (71%) Second-line TKI Nilotinib Dasatinib 13/70 (19%) 7/70 (10%) Pham 13

Discontinuation of TKI therapy is a potentially feasible and safe option for CML patients II. Achieving a deep molecular response prior to discontinuation of TKI may help achieve longer TFR A. Duration of TKI therapy for at least 3 years B. Stable molecular response (MR4; BCR-ABL1 < 0.01% IS) for at least 2 years III. Continuous molecular monitoring is important in CML A. BCR-ABL transcript levels detected by RT-PCR can fluctuate B. Therefore, routine monitoring is recommended to ensure sustained TFR i. Monthly for one year ii. Every 6 weeks for second year iii. Every 12 weeks indefinitely IV. Prompt resumption of TKI within 4 weeks of loss of MMR with molecular monitoring every 4 weeks until MMR is re-established V. A second TKI discontinuation attempt in patients who have previously failed a first TKI discontinuation attempt may be safe and feasible VI. Future Directions A. Utilizing TFR as an endpoint in future studies and comparing TFR rates between imatinib and second generation TKIs B. Larger, prospective studies evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of a second TKI discontinuation 5 4 Pham 14
