The emergence of clonal chromosomal abnormalities in Philadelphia-negative cells during treatment with imatinib in patients with Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia has been reported. We add information to this issue presenting a series of 29 patients in complete cytogenetic response after imatinib treatment, three of whom developed clonal aberrations.

Objective: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease with lipid accumulation, inflammation, and liver fibrosis. Ponatinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, was found to improve metabolic disorders in mice. However, the role of ponatinib in liver inflammation and fibrosis remains to be elucidated.

Background: The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia through tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has achieved promising efficacy and safety outcomes, however the costs are associated with a substantial economic burden. The objective of this study was to develop a Markov model with a 20-year time horizon to assess the cost effectiveness of TKIs from a public healthcare system perspective in South Africa.

Methods: We constructed a Markov model to compare three strategies in which treatment was initiated with either imatinib, nilotinib, or dasatinib.
