Background/purpose: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment, yet long-term pediatric outcomes and growth effects remain limited. This study describes the long-term efficacy and growth impact of TKIs in children and adolescents with CML.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 14 pediatric CML patients treated with TKIs at our institute.

Dasatinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been reported to have immunomodulatory effects. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV-LPD) occur in immunocompromised patients, such as those receiving methotrexate or other immunosuppressive drugs or after allogenic transplantation. EBV-LPD is also reported to be a rare side effect in patients receiving long-term dasatinib or imatinib.

Background: Up to 65% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are treated with imatinib do not achieve sustained deep molecular response, which is required to attempt treatment-free remission. Asciminib is the only approved BCR::ABL1 inhibitor that Specifically Targets the ABL Myristoyl Pocket. This unique mechanism of action allows asciminib to be combined with adenosine triphosphate-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors to prevent resistance and enhance efficacy.

Pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia (pCML) is a rare childhood malignancy, representing 2%-3% of all childhood leukemia. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have greatly improved survival but pose challenges due to their long-term effects on growth and bone health in children. We prospectively studied treatment-free remission (TFR) in 45 children with pCML in chronic phase on imatinib.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is caused by balanced translocation t(9::22)(q34;q11) resulting in formation of pathogenic BCR-ABL fusion gene. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have revolutionised the treatment of CML. Ongoing treatment with TKI leads to side effects and has financial impact.
