Therapy for patients with chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia previously treated with ⩾2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors: a systematic literature review.

Background: ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the current standard of care for patients with chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) in the first-line and second-line (2 L) setting. Treatment after 2 L is not clearly established.

Objective: The objective of this study was to summarize the available evidence to compare the efficacy and safety of interventions in the treatment of CP-CML patients who had received ⩾2 prior TKIs.

Matching-adjusted indirect comparison of asciminib versus other treatments in chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia after failure of two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Purpose: The current standard of care for chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) is tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Treatment recommendations are unclear for CP-CML failing ≥ 2 lines of treatment, partly due to the paucity of head-to-head trials evaluating TKIs. Thus, matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs) were conducted to compare asciminib with competing TKIs in third- or later line (≥ 3L) CP-CML.

Design and synthesis of benzimidazole-based Rho kinase inhibitors for the treatment of glaucoma.

Rho kinase inhibitors (ROCK II) play a key role in glaucoma management attributed to their IOP lowering ability and neuroprotective effects. In the present study, a series of novel benzimidazole derivatives (9a-m) has been synthesized and evaluated for their IOP lowering, Rho kinase inhibitory and antioxidant properties. The synthesized compounds were found to be lipophilic and showed a significant IOP lowering effect both in the treated and the contralateral eye comparable to the reference standard fasudil.
