  • Overview

    Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by disordered growth of myeloid cells. The hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is an acquired reciprocal translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22. This translocation results in the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein, with constitutively active tyrosine kinase activity, and is the underlying driver of CML. BCR-ABL1 testing is widely used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of CML and to assess response to TKI therapy. The development of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized the treatment of CML, dramatically improving patient outcomes. Although most CML patients experience excellent clinical outcomes, some CML patients (20-30%) exhibit an acquired resistance to treatment during the disease course, often requiring second- or third-line therapy. Novel TKIs designed to overcome TKI resistance have shown efficacy in early clinical trials and are offering promise to CML patients who do not respond to any of the multiple therapeutic options currently available. 

    AXIS routinely collects and analyzes data gathered from participants in our live activities. These questions and answers provide incredible insight and address genetic testing, risk stratification, disease stages, and optimal treatment for patients with CML. This includes a focus on the clinical significance of BCR-ABL testing, cytogenic remission and deep molecular responses, mechanisms behind TKI resistance, stratification, updated guideline recommendations, emerging treatment strategies, and evidence-based strategies for optimal clinical decision-making 

  • Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships

    AXIS Medical Education requires faculty, instructors, authors, planners, directors, managers, peer reviewers, and other individuals who are in a position to control the content of this activity to disclose allpersonalfinancialrelationships they mayhave in the past 24 months with ineligible companies. An ineligible entity is any organization whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. All relevant financial relationships are identified and mitigated prior to initiation of the planning phase for an activity.  

    AXIS has mitigated and disclosed to learners all relevant financial relationships disclosed by staff, planners, faculty/authors, peer reviewers, or others in control of content for this activity. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a presentation or activity. Disclosure information for faculty, authors, course directors, planners, peer reviewers, and/or relevant staff is provided with this activity. 

    The faculty, Michael J. Mauro, MD, reported a financial interest/relationship or affiliation in the form of Grants/Research Support: Novartis, SPARC/Sun Pharma, Bristol Myers Squibb, Takeda, Enliven (All funding to the institution [Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center]). Consulting Fees:Novartis Oncology, Takeda, Bristol Myers Squibb, AbbVie, Terns. 

    The directors, planners, managers, peer reviewers, and relevant staff reported the following financial relationships they have with any ineligible company of any amount during the past 24 months:  Linda Gracie-King, MS; Elizabeth Lurwick, BS; Marilyn L. Haas-Haseman, PhD, RN, CNS, ANP-BC; Adrienne N. Nedved, MPA, PharmD, BCOP; Melissa Duffy, PA-C; and Dee Morgillo, MEd, MT(ASCP), CHCP hereby state that they do not have any financial relationships or relationships any ineligible company of any amount during the past 24 months.  Robert Mocharnuk, MD, reported a financial interest/relationship or affiliation in the form of Common stock: Merck of any amount during the past 24 months. 

  • Learning Objectives

    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to: 

    • Formulate strategies to individualize molecular testing in CML patients to drive appropriate treatment selection based on guideline recommendations, risk stratification, and endpoints of treatment response. 

    • Apply updated guidelines, clinical trial data, and real-world evidence of 2nd and 3rd generation TKIs and BCR-ABL inhibitors to develop personalized treatment regimens for CML patients. 

    • Propose effective mitigation and management approaches for potential AEs and drug resistance in CML patients. 

  • Target Audience

    This educational activity is designed for hematologists, hematology oncologists, pathologists/lab professionals, oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and physician assistants who are part of the interprofessional team responsible for the therapeutic management of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
