概要 Among patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) aiming for tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discontinuation, second-generation TKIs (2G-TKIs) are used as one of the first-line options because they induce faster and deeper molecular responses than imatinib. However, predictors of attaining and sustaining MR4.5 (BCR::ABL1 International Scale [IS] ≤ 0.0032%) during 2G-TKI therapy remain undefined. We analyzed 431 patients enrolled in the phase III Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG) CML212 trial, comparing nilotinib at 300 mg twice daily (n = 218) and dasatinib at 100 mg once daily (n = 213) as first-line therapy. The objective was to identify predictors of MR4.5 attainment and TKI discontinuation eligibility (TDE). Candidate variables assessed within 6 months included the EUTOS long-term survival (ELTS) score; BCR::ABL1 IS at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months; and IS-derived halving times, HT(0-3) and HT(3-6). TDE was defined as ≥3 years of TKI therapy with ≥2 consecutive years of sustained MR4.5. With a median follow-up of 3.0 years, the cumulative incidence of MR4.5 was 46.6%, and 36.3% of patients achieving MR4.5 met TDE criteria. In multivariable models, HT(0-3) (subdistribution hazard ratio [HR], 2.23; 95% CI, 1.09-4.55) and the 6-month IS (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.31-0.47) were independent predictors of MR4.5 attainment, whereas only the 6-month IS predicted TDE (odds ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.24-0.56). This study demonstrates that molecular response at 6 months after TKI initiation has important clinical value in early stratification of MR4.5 attainment and TDE in patients receiving 2G-TKI therapy.
