Introduction: The T315I mutation in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been associated with therapeutic resistance and an unfavourable prognosis.
Aim: To study the frequency of T315I mutation in patients with CML, BCR-ABL (+), their clinical characteristics, disease evolution, and median survival.
Patients And Methods: We studied 75 patients with CML and BCR-ABL1 (+). T315I mutation was detected by digital droplet PCR and BCR-ABL1 was analyzed by RT-PCR. A comparative analysis was performed by sex, age, disease phase, risk group, treatment, molecular response (MR), and median survival in T315I (+) and T315I (-) patients.
Results: T315I mutation was detected in 11 patients (14.7%). No significant difference was found in the phase, risk group, and first-line therapy. A significantly higher proportion of T315I (+) did not achieve MR >3.5 log: 8 (72.7%) vs. 22 (34.4%) (p=0.023). The lowest mean BCR-ABL1 levels were significantly higher in the CML T315I (+) group compared to the CML T315I (-) group: 12.1±6.0 vs. 3.77±1.28 (p=0.009). The median survival of T315I (+) patients was significantly shorter: 73 months vs. 175 months (p<0.0001, CI 95%).
Conclusions: Our data confirm the world experience on the frequency of T315I mutation, including the unfavourable evolution, resistance to TKI treatment and short survival. ddPCR is a highly sensitive method for early detection of genetic mutations which gives the chance for effective treatment.

Objectives: kinase domain mutations are an important cause of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) of which T315I is the most treatment-resilient. This study aimed to observe the frequency of T315I and its impact on disease prognosis in terms of progression and survival.
Methods: Patients with a response which categorized them into warning zone/or who failed to respond to their TKI treatment completely as per the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) were labeled as non-responders.

Background: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is particularly challenging to treat due to the T315I BCR::ABL1 mutation. Although fungal metabolites are known for their pharmaceutical potential, none are approved for CML. Our study screened approximately 2000 fungal secondary metabolites to discover inhibitors targeting the T315I- BCR::ABL1 mutant protein.

Article Synopsis
- Ponatinib and asciminib are both approved for treating chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) in the U.S., specifically for patients who have not responded to other therapies or have the T315I mutation, with ponatinib also available in Europe for this mutation.
- A systematic review identified clinical trials comparing the effectiveness of ponatinib and asciminib for patients who have relapsed or are resistant to treatments, and a statistical analysis was used to compare their response rates after matching patient characteristics.
- Results showed ponatinib had significantly higher response rates than asciminib, particularly in patients with the T315I mutation, indicating that ponatinib may be a more effective treatment option in these cases.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the fusion protein BCR::ABL1, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. The frontline treatment, represented by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes of patients. However, TKI resistance through various mechanisms has been reported.

One hundred and twenty CML patients, 105 in chronic phase (CP), 8 in accelerated phase (AP) and 7 in blastic phase (BP) were included. Fifty-one (49%) of the CP-CML patients were in third line of treatment.
