IRIS Trial: 8 Year Follow-up on Imatinib Among pts randomized to imatinib, after 8 years: 81% event-free survival 85% overall survival 86% had achieved MMR 92% did not progress to AP/BC Rate of progression to AP/BC in yrs 4 to 8 was: 0.9%, 0.5%, 0%, 0%, 0.4%. No pt in MMR at 12m subsequently progressed Deininger M, et al. Blood. 2009;114(22):142. Abs # 1126 (Poster).
Risk and Response to Imatinib 400 mg IRIS Trial: Estimated CCyR by Sokal This does not add up to 100%!!
Risk and Response to Imatinib 400 mg IRIS Trial: Estimated CCyR by Sokal WE WANT 100%!!!
Postulate 1 (Pessimistic Vision) Some Ph+ CML are intrinsically TKI resistant and it does not matter how fast the response is Postulate 2 (Optimistic, Realistic? Vision) Most patients are sensitive to TKIs at the onset and an early response reduces the risk of upfront resistance and late progression
