Hematological Adverse Events with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target the pathological BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene. The objective of this statistical meta-analysis was to assess the prevalence of other hematological adverse events (AEs) that occur during or after predominantly fir...

description Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target the pathological BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene. The objective of this statistical meta-analysis was to assess the prevalence of other hematological adverse events (AEs) that occur during or after predominantly first-line treatment with TKIs. Data from seventy peer-reviewed, published studies were included in the analysis. Hematological AEs were assessed as a function of TKI drug type (dasatinib, imatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib) and CML phase (chronic, accelerated, blast). AE prevalence aggregated across all severities and phases was significantly different between each TKI (<i>p</i> < 0.05) for anemia—dasatinib (54.5%), bosutinib (44.0%), imatinib (32.8%), nilotinib (11.2%); neutropenia—dasatinib (51.2%), imatinib (29.8%), bosutinib (14.1%), nilotinib (14.1%); thrombocytopenia—dasatinib (62.2%), imatinib (30.4%), bosutinib (35.3%), nilotinib (22.3%). AE prevalence aggregated across all severities and TKIs was significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) different between CML phases for anemia—chronic (28.4%), accelerated (66.9%), blast (55.8%); neutropenia—chronic (26.7%), accelerated (63.8%), blast (36.4%); thrombocytopenia—chronic (33.3%), accelerated (65.6%), blast (37.9%). An odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval was used to compare hematological AE prevalence of each TKI compared to the most common first-line TKI therapy, imatinib. For anemia, dasatinib OR = 1.65, [1.51, 1.83]; bosutinib OR = 1.34, [1.16, 1.54]; nilotinib OR = 0.34, [0.30, 0.39]. For neutropenia, dasatinib OR = 1.72, [1.53, 1.92]; bosutinib OR = 0.47, [0.38, 0.58]; nilotinib OR = 0.47, [0.42, 0.54]. For thrombocytopenia, dasatinib OR = 2.04, [1.82, 2.30]; bosutinib OR = 1.16, [0.97, 1.39]; nilotinib OR = 0.73, [0.65, 0.82]. Nilotinib had the greatest fraction of severe (grade 3/4) hematological AEs (30%). In conclusion, the overall prevalence of hematological AEs by TKI type was: dasatinib > bosutinib > imatinib > nilotinib. Study limitations include inability to normalize for dosage and treatment duration.
