Abstract
Asciminib targets the BCR::ABL1 myristoyl pocket, maintaining activity against BCR::ABL1T315I, which is resistant to most approved adenosine triphosphate-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We report updated phase I results (NCT02081378) assessing safety/tolerability and antileukemic activity of asciminib monotherapy 200 mg twice daily in 48 heavily pretreated patients with T315I-mutated chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP; data cutoff: January 6, 2021). With 2 years' median exposure, 56.3% of patients continued receiving asciminib. Overall, 62.2% of evaluable patients achieved BCR::ABL1 ≤1% on the International Scale (IS); 47.6% and 81.3% of ponatinib-pretreated and -naive patients, respectively, achieved BCR::ABL1IS ≤1%. Of 45 evaluable patients, 48.9% achieved a major molecular response (MMR, BCR::ABL1IS ≤0.1%), including 34.6% and 68.4% of ponatinib-pretreated and -naive patients, respectively. MMR was maintained until data cutoff in 19 of 22 patients who achieved it. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) included increased lipase level (18.8%) and thrombocytopenia (14.6%). Five (10.4%) patients experienced AEs leading to discontinuation, including 2 who discontinued asciminib and died due to COVID-19; these were the only deaths reported. These results show asciminib's effectiveness, including in almost 50% of ponatinib pretreated patients, and confirm its risk-benefit profile, supporting its use as a treatment option for T315I-mutated CML-CP.

Abstract
A randomized phase-II study was performed in low/int-1 risk MDS (IPSS) to study efficacy and safety of lenalidomide without (arm A) or with (arm B) ESA/G-CSF. In arm B, patients without erythroid response (HI-E) after 4 cycles received ESA; G-CSF was added if no HI-E was obtained by cycle 9. HI-E served as primary endpoint. Flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing were performed to identify predictors of response. The final evaluation comprised 184 patients; 84% non-del(5q), 16% isolated del(5q); median follow-up: 70.7 months. In arm A and B, 39 and 41% of patients achieved HI-E; median time-to-HI-E: 3.2 months for both arms, median duration of-HI-E: 9.8 months. HI-E was significantly lower in non-del(5q) vs. del(5q): 32% vs. 80%. The same accounted for transfusion independency-at-week 24 (16% vs. 67%), but similar in both arms. Apart from presence of del(5q), high percentages of bone marrow lymphocytes and progenitor B-cells, a low number of mutations, absence of ring sideroblasts, and SF3B1 mutations predicted HI-E. In conclusion, lenalidomide induced HI-E in patients with non-del(5q) and del(5q) MDS without additional effect of ESA/G-CSF. The identified predictors of response may guide application of lenalidomide in lower-risk MDS in the era of precision medicine. (EudraCT 2008-002195-10).

Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.The European Stop Kinase Inhibitors (EURO-SKI) study is the largest clinical trial for investigating the cessation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in stable deep molecular remission (DMR). Among 728 patients, 434 patients (61%; 95% CI, 57 to 64) remained in major molecular response (MMR) at 6 months and 309 patients of 678 (46%; 95% CI, 42 to 49) at 36 months. Duration of TKI treatment and DMR before TKI stop were confirmed as significant factors for the prediction of MMR loss at 6 months. In addition, the type of BCR::ABL1 transcript was identified as a prognostic factor. For late MMR losses after 6 months, TKI treatment duration, percentage of blasts in peripheral blood, and platelet count at diagnosis were significant factors in multivariate analysis. For the entire study period of 36 months, multiple logistic regression models confirmed duration of treatment, blasts, and transcript type as independent factors for MMR maintenance. In addition to the duration of treatment, transcript type as well as blasts in peripheral blood at diagnosis should be considered as important factors to predict treatment-free remission.

Abstract
Measurable residual disease (MRD) measured in the bone marrow (BM) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients after induction chemotherapy is an established prognostic factor. Hemodilution, stemming from peripheral blood (PB) mixing within BM during aspiration, can yield false-negative MRD results. We prospectively examined hemodilution by measuring MRD in BM aspirates obtained from three consecutive 2 mL pulls, along with PB samples. Our results demonstrated a significant decrease in MRD percentages between the first and second pulls (P = 0.025) and between the second and third pulls (P = 0.025), highlighting the impact of hemodilution. Initially, 39% of MRD levels (18/46 leukemia-associated immunophenotypes) exceeded the 0.1% cut-off, decreasing to 30% (14/46) in the third pull. Additionally, we assessed the performance of six published methods and parameters for distinguishing BM from PB samples, addressing or compensating for hemodilution. The most promising results relied on the percentages of CD16dim granulocytic population (scarce in BM) and CD117high mast cells (exclusive to BM). Our findings highlight the importance of estimating hemodilution in MRD assessment to qualify MRD results, particularly near the common 0.1% cut-off. To avoid false-negative results by hemodilution, it is essential to collect high-quality BM aspirations and preferably utilizing the initial pull for MRD testing.

Abstract
The safety and efficacy of sabatolimab, a novel immunotherapy targeting T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3), was assessed in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) in patients with HMA-naive revised International Prognostic System Score (IPSS-R) high- or very high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR/vHR-MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Sabatolimab + HMA had a safety profile similar to that reported for HMA alone and demonstrated durable clinical responses in patients with HR/vHR-MDS. These results support the ongoing evaluation of sabatolimab-based combination therapy in MDS, CMML, and acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acquired missense mutations in the BCR::ABL1 kinase domain (KD) may cause tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment failure. Based on mutation-specific in vitro derived IC50-values, alternative TKI may be selected. We assessed clinical practice of BCR::ABL1 KD mutation testing, clinical response in relation to IC50-values, and clinical outcome of tested patients. METHODS Patients from six Dutch CML reference centers and a national registry were included once a mutational analysis was performed. Reasons for testing were categorized as suboptimal TKI response, and primary or secondary TKI resistance. RESULTS Four hundred twenty analyses were performed in 275 patients. Sixty-nine patients harbored at least one mutation. Most analyses were performed because of suboptimal TKI response but with low mutation incidence (4%), while most mutations were found in primary and secondary resistant patients (21% and 51%, respectively). Harboring a BCR::ABL1 mutation was associated with inferior overall survival (HR 3.2 [95% CI, 1.7-6.1; p < .001]). Clinically observed responses to TKI usually corresponded with the predicted TKI sensitivity based on the IC50-values, but a high IC50-value did not preclude a good clinical response per se. CONCLUSIONS We recommend BCR::ABL1 KD mutation testing in particular in the context of primary or secondary resistance. IC50-values can direct the TKI choice for CML patients, but clinical efficacy can be seen despite adverse in vitro resistance.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematologic neoplasm characterized by the expression of the BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, resulting in uncontrolled growth and proliferation of cells in the myeloid lineage. Targeted therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, ponatinib and asciminib has drastically improved the life expectancy of CML patients. However, treatment resistance occurs in 10-20% of CML patients, which is a multifactorial problem that is only partially clarified by the presence of TKI inactivating BCR::ABL1 mutations. It may also be a consequence of a reduction in cytosolic TKI concentrations in the target cells due to transporter-mediated cellular distribution. This review focuses on drug-transporting proteins in stem cells and progenitor cells involved in the distribution of TKIs approved for the treatment of CML. Special attention will be given to ATP-binding cassette transporters expressed in lysosomes, which may facilitate the extracytosolic sequestration of these compounds.

Abstract
Insight into real-world treatment-related toxic effects reported by patients has the potential to improve care, benchmark trials, and fill knowledge gaps, especially in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia, which is treated in the majority of patients continually with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The aim of our systematic review was to investigate the content validity of instruments that elicit TKI-related toxic effects reported by patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in the real world. We searched PubMed and Embase from Jan 1, 2017 to Oct 21, 2022. Studies on instruments used in or developed for patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia that assess a patient's symptoms were eligible. Content validity was assessed according to the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN): none of the six identified instruments were rated as sufficient. Five instruments (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire for chronic myeloid leukaemia with 24 items [EORTC QLQ-CML24], EORTC symptom set, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Leukaemia [FACT-LEU], haematological malignancies patient-reported outcomes [HM-PRO], and MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for chronic myeloid leukaemia [MDASI-CML]) were rated as inconsistent due to not being evaluated by professionals post-development, having very few patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia involved, or missing key symptoms. Moderate-quality to very low-quality evidence underpinned these ratings. The two EORTC instruments were the only ones not to miss key toxic effects (eg, muscle cramps). However, their relevance was rated as inconsistent: the QLQ-CML24 includes questions on health-related quality-of-life, whereas the symptom set includes items sourced from solid cancer treatments. This Review shows the need for an instrument with sufficient content validity to measure toxic effects from TKI treatment in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Until then, stakeholders can make an informed choice from currently used instruments with our assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive aspergillosis (IA) by a triazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus is associated with high mortality. Real-time resistance detection will result in earlier initiation of appropriate therapy. METHODS In a prospective study, we evaluated the clinical value of the AsperGenius polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in hematology patients from 12 centers. This PCR assay detects the most frequent cyp51A mutations in A. fumigatus conferring azole resistance. Patients were included when a computed tomography scan showed a pulmonary infiltrate and bronchoalveolar fluid (BALf) sampling was performed. The primary end point was antifungal treatment failure in patients with azole-resistant IA. RESULTS Of 323 patients enrolled, complete mycological and radiological information was available for 276 (94%), and probable IA was diagnosed in 99/276 (36%). Sufficient BALf for PCR testing was available for 293/323 (91%). Aspergillus DNA was detected in 116/293 (40%) and A. fumigatus DNA in 89/293 (30%). The resistance PCR was conclusive in 58/89 (65%) and resistance detected in 8/58 (14%). Two had a mixed azole-susceptible/azole-resistant infection. In the 6 remaining patients, treatment failure was observed in 1. Galactomannan positivity was associated with mortality (P = .004) while an isolated positive Aspergillus PCR was not (P = .83). CONCLUSIONS Real-time PCR-based resistance testing may help to limit the clinical impact of triazole resistance. In contrast, the clinical impact of an isolated positive Aspergillus PCR on BALf seems limited. The interpretation of the EORTC/MSGERC PCR criterion for BALf may need further specification (eg, minimum cycle threshold value and/or PCR positive on >1 BALf sample).

Abstract
Asciminib is approved for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) who received ≥2 prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors or have the T315I mutation. We report updated results of a phase 1, open-label, nonrandomized trial (NCT02081378) assessing the safety, tolerability, and antileukemic activity of asciminib monotherapy 10-200 mg once or twice daily in 115 patients with CML-CP without T315I (data cutoff: January 6, 2021). After ≈4-year median exposure, 69.6% of patients remained on asciminib. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) included increased pancreatic enzymes (22.6%), thrombocytopenia (13.9%), hypertension (13.0%), and neutropenia (12.2%); all-grade AEs (mostly grade 1/2) included musculoskeletal pain (59.1%), upper respiratory tract infection (41.7%), and fatigue (40.9%). Clinical pancreatitis and arterial occlusive events (AOEs) occurred in 7.0% and 8.7%, respectively. Most AEs occurred during year 1; the subsequent likelihood of new events, including AOEs, was low. By data cutoff, among patients without the indicated response at baseline, 61.3% achieved BCR::ABL1 ≤ 1%, 61.6% achieved ≤0.1% (major molecular response [MMR]), and 33.7% achieved ≤0.01% on the International Scale. MMR was maintained in 48/53 patients who achieved it and 19/20 who were in MMR at screening, supporting the long-term safety and efficacy of asciminib in this population.

Abstract
In order to improve molecular response for a discontinuation attempt in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in chronic phase, who had not achieved at least a molecular response <0.01% BCR-ABL1IS (MR4.0) after at least 2 years of imatinib therapy, we prospectively evaluated whether they could attain MR4.0 after a switch to a combination of nilotinib and 9 months of pegylated interferon-α2b (PegIFN). The primary endpoint of confirmed MR4.0 at month 12 (a BCR-ABL1IS level ≤ 0.01% both at 12 and 15 months) was reached by 44% (7/16 patients, 95% confidence interval (CI): 23- 67%) of patients, with 81% (13/16 patients, 95% CI: 57-93%) of patients achieving an unconfirmed MR4.0. The scheduled combination was completed by 56% of the patients, with premature discontinuations, mainly due to mood disturbances after the introduction of PegIFN, questioning the feasibility of the combination of nilotinib and PegIFN for this patient population and treatment goal. A comprehensive clinical substudy program was implemented to characterize the impact of the treatment changes on the immunological profile. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01866553.

Abstract
Fibroblasts have an important role in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix of connective tissues by producing and remodelling extracellular matrix proteins. They are indispensable for physiological processes, and as such also associate with many pathological conditions. In recent years, a number of studies have identified donor-derived fibroblasts in various tissues of bone marrow transplant recipients, while others could not replicate these findings. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of the current literature regarding the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into fibroblasts in various tissues. PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science (Core Collection) were systematically searched for original articles concerning fibroblast origin after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in collaboration with a medical information specialist. Our search found 5421 studies, of which 151 were analysed for full-text analysis by two authors independently, resulting in the inclusion of 104 studies. Only studies in animals and humans, in which at least one marker was used for fibroblast identification, were included. The results were described per organ of fibroblast engraftment. We show that nearly all mouse and human organs show evidence of fibroblasts of hematopoietic stem cell transfer origin. Despite significant heterogeneity in the included studies, most demonstrate a significant presence of fibroblasts of hematopoietic lineage in non-hematopoietic tissues. This presence appears to increase after the occurrence of tissue damage.

Abstract
Measurable residual disease (MRD) measured using multiparameter flow-cytometry (MFC) has proven to be an important prognostic biomarker in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, MRD is increasingly used to guide consolidation treatment towards a non-allogenic stem cell transplantation treatment for MRD-negative patients in the ELN-2017 intermediate risk group. Currently, measurement of MFC-MRD in bone marrow is used for clinical decision making after 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy. However, measurement after 1 cycle has also been shown to have prognostic value, so the optimal time point remains a question of debate. We assessed the independent prognostic value of MRD results at either time point and concordance between these for 273 AML patients treated within and according to the HOVON-SAKK 92, 102, 103 and 132 trials. Cumulative incidence of relapse, event free survival and overall survival were significantly better for MRD-negative (<0.1%) patients compared to MRD-positive patients after cycle 1 and cycle 2 (p ≤ 0.002, for all comparisons). A total of 196 patients (71.8%) were MRD-negative after cycle 1, of which the vast majority remained negative after cycle 2 (180 patients; 91.8%). In contrast, of the 77 MRD-positive patients after cycle 1, only 41 patients (53.2%) remained positive. A cost reduction of –€571,751 per 100 patients could be achieved by initiating the donor search based on the MRD-result after cycle 1. This equals to a 50.7% cost reduction compared to the current care strategy in which the donor search is initiated for all patients. These results show that MRD after cycle 1 has prognostic value and is highly concordant with MRD status after cycle 2. When MRD-MFC is used to guide consolidation treatment (allo vs non-allo) in intermediate risk patients, allogeneic donor search may be postponed or omitted after cycle 1. Since the majority of MRD-negative patients remain negative after cycle 2, this could safely reduce the number of allogeneic donor searches and reduce costs.

Abstract
Simple Summary Venetoclax has proven to be a promising therapy for newly diagnosed, relapsed and refractory AML patients ineligible for induction chemotherapy. Current ongoing clinical trials are evaluating its effectivity as frontline therapy for all acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. However, response rates vary wildly, depending on patient characteristics and mutational profiles. This review elaborates on the efficacy and safety of venetoclax compared to conventional chemotherapy for treatment of AML patients, comparing the response rates, overall survival and adverse events. Moreover, it gives an overview of genetic and epigenetic AML cell characteristics that give enhanced or decreased response to venetoclax and offers insights into the pathogenesis of venetoclax sensitivity and resistance. Additionally, it suggests possible treatment combinations predicted to be successful based on identified mechanisms influencing venetoclax sensitivity of AML cells. Abstract Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor that effectively improves clinical outcomes in newly diagnosed, relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, with complete response rates (with and without complete blood count recovery) ranging between 34–90% and 21–33%, respectively. Here, we aim to give an overview of the efficacy of venetoclax-based therapy for AML patients, as compared to standard chemotherapy, and on factors and mechanisms involved in venetoclax sensitivity and resistance in AML (stem) cells, with the aim to obtain a perspective of response biomarkers and combination therapies that could enhance the sensitivity of AML cells to venetoclax. The presence of molecular aberrancies can predict responses to venetoclax, with a higher response in NPM1-, IDH1/2-, TET2- and relapsed or refractory RUNX1-mutated AML. Decreased sensitivity to venetoclax was observed in patients harboring FLT3-ITD, TP53, K/NRAS or PTPN11 mutations. Moreover, resistance to venetoclax was observed in AML with a monocytic phenotype and patients pre-treated with hypomethylating agents. Resistance to venetoclax can arise due to mutations in BCL-2 or pro-apoptotic proteins, an increased dependency on MCL-1, and usage of additional/alternative sources for energy metabolism, such as glycolysis and fatty acid metabolism. Clinical studies are testing combination therapies that may circumvent resistance, including venetoclax combined with FLT3- and MCL-1 inhibitors, to enhance venetoclax-induced cell death. Other treatments that can potentially synergize with venetoclax, including MEK1/2 and mitochondrial complex inhibitors, need to be evaluated in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Objectives To describe the real‐world effectiveness and safety of bosutinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods This was a multi‐center, retrospective, non‐interventional chart review study conducted in 10 hospitals in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Results Eighty‐seven patients were included. Bosutinib was the third‐line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in 33 (38%) and fourth‐line in 44 (51%) patients. Median treatment duration was 15.6 months. Among 84 patients in chronic phase (CP) at baseline, 26 (31%) switched to bosutinib due to resistance and 57 (68%) due to intolerance to prior TKIs. Cumulative complete cytogenetic and major molecular response rates in CP patients were 67% and 55%, respectively. After a median follow‐up of 21.5 months, nine (11%) patients in CP died; estimated overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years postbosutinib initiation were 95% and 91%, respectively. Overall, 33/87 (38%) patients discontinued bosutinib due to either lack of efficacy/disease progression (17%), adverse events (14%), death (2%), or other reasons (5%). Eighty‐two (94%) patients experienced ≥1 adverse event possibly related to bosutinib, most commonly diarrhea (52%). Conclusions Bosutinib used in routine clinical practice in heavily pretreated patients with CML is an effective treatment for patients in CP and is generally tolerable.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia is a known challenge for hematologists due to patient diversity, heterogeneous disease biology, and a rapidly evolving treatment landscape. Here, we highlight the importance of determining fitness, review the latest therapeutic developments, and discuss clinical scenarios to provide guidance on individualized treatment for older AML patients. RECENT FINDINGS Several factors, like age, performance status, and comorbidities, play a role in fitness and are associated with outcome. Comorbidity scoring systems and geriatric assessments are tools to help physicians select the most appropriate treatment for each patient. The addition of venetoclax, targeted therapy with IDH1/2 and FLT3 inhibitors, and enhanced formulas of existing drugs like CPX-351 and oral azacitidine have improved responses and outcomes. New drugs and combination therapies have increased the therapeutic options for elderly AML patients but determination of fitness and disease biology is essential to select patient-tailored treatments.

Abstract
Studies on the conditional life expectancy of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) are lacking. Using data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry, we examined the life expectancy of patients with CML in the Netherlands diagnosed during 1989-2018. As of the early 2010s, the life expectancy of patients with CML who survived several years after diagnosis came narrowly close to the general population's life expectancy, regardless of age. This finding can essentially be ascribed to the introduction and broader application of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and provide optimism to patients with CML who can look forward to a near-normal life expectancy in a modern TKI era.

Abstract
Most patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) require therapeutic intervention. However, there are few approved treatments for MDS. To explore reasons, we searched clinicaltrials.gov and clinicaltrialsregister.eu for MDS trials from 2000 to 2020. We assessed which agents were under investigation and analysed clinical trial characteristics and continuation rates from phase I to II to III to approval. As such, we identified 384 unique agents in 426 phase I, 430 phase II and 48 phase III trials. Success rates for phase III trials and agents were low, and MDS trials took markedly longer to complete than the average clinical trial. Although success rates were higher when MDS-specific phase I trials were conducted, 52% of the agents had not been evaluated in a phase I trial for MDS. MDS trials often failed to include quality of life, an especially important outcome for older MDS patients. Our work identifies factors potentially contributing to the paucity of available agents for MDS. We suggest a framework to improve clinical research in MDS that might ultimately augment the number of available agents.

Abstract
Fatigue is a common side effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the prevalence of TKI-induced fatigue remains uncertain and little is known about predictors of fatigue and its relationship with physical activity. In this study, 220 CML patients receiving TKI therapy and 110 genderand age-matched controls completed an online questionnaire to assess fatigue severity and fatigue predictors (Part 1). In addition, physical activity levels were objectively assessed for 7 consecutive days in 138 severely fatigued and non-fatigued CML patients using an activity monitor (Part 2). We demonstrated that the prevalence of severe fatigue was 55.5% in CML patients and 10.9% in controls (P<0.001). We identified five predictors of fatigue in our CML population: age (odds ratio [OR] 0.96, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.93-0.99), female gender (OR 1.76, 95% CI: 0.92-3.34), Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.16-3.13), the use of comedication known to cause fatigue (OR 3.43, 95% CI: 1.58-7.44), and physical inactivity (OR of moderately active, vigorously active and very vigorously active compared to inactive 0.43 (95% CI: 0.12-1.52), 0.22 (95% CI: 0.06-0.74), and 0.08 (95% CI: 0.02-0.26), respectively). Objective monitoring of activity patterns confirmed that fatigued CML patients performed less physical activity of both light (P=0.017) and moderate to vigorous intensity (P=0.009). In fact, compared to the non-fatigued patients, fatigued CML patients performed 1 hour less of physical activity per day and took 2,000 fewer steps per day. Our findings facilitate the identification of patients at risk of severe fatigue and highlight the importance of setting reduction of fatigue as a treatment goal in CML care. This study was registered at The Netherlands Trial Registry, NTR7308 (Part 1) and NTR7309 (Part 2).

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to retrospectively assess C‐lectin‐like molecule 1 (CLL‐1) bimodal expression on CD34+ blasts in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients (total N = 306) and explore potential CLL‐1 bimodal associations with leukemia and patient‐specific characteristics. Methods Flow cytometry assays were performed to assess the deeper immunophenotyping of CLL‐1 bimodality. Cytogenetic analysis was performed to characterize the gene mutation on CLL‐1‐negative subpopulation of CLL‐1 bimodal AML samples. Results The frequency of a bimodal pattern of CLL‐1 expression of CD34+ blasts ranged from 8% to 65% in the different cohorts. Bimodal CLL‐1 expression was most prevalent in patients with MDS‐related AML (P = .011), ELN adverse risk (P = .002), NPM1 wild type (WT, P = .049), FLT3 WT (P = .035), and relatively low percentages of leukemia‐associated immunophenotypes (P = .006). Additional immunophenotyping analysis revealed the CLL‐1− subpopulation may consist of pre‐B cells, immature myeloblasts, and hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, (pre)‐leukemic mutations were detected in both CLL‐1+ and CLL‐1− subfractions of bimodal samples (N = 3). Conclusions C‐lectin‐like molecule 1 bimodality occurs in about 25% of AML patients and the CLL‐1− cell population still contains malignant cells, hence it may potentially limit the effectiveness of CLL‐1‐targeted therapies and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and severity of adverse drug reactions of cyclosporine using AUC-targeted therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) compared to trough level (Ctrough )-targeted TDM in adult allogeneic stem cell recipients. METHODS Blind, monocenter, intervention study. Subjects were 1:1 randomized into either an AUC group or a Ctrough group. Adverse drug reactions were accessed two and four weeks after start of treatment. RESULTS Forty patients were included, resulting in 15 evaluable subjects (AUC group) and 13 evaluable subjects (Ctrough group). Grade two/three toxicity was observed in 46% (Ctrough group) versus 60% of subjects (AUC group) (P = .463). There was no significant difference between two and four weeks after start of cyclosporine for nausea (P = .142 resp. P = .122), renal dysfunction (P = .464 resp. P = 1.000), and hypomagnesemia (P = 1.000 resp. P = .411). Subjects in the AUC group reached the therapeutic goal earlier (72,7% versus 43,0% at third sampling point, P = .332) and were within the target range more consistently. CONCLUSION This study showed no reduction in incidence and severity of cyclosporine-induced toxicity with AUC- versus trough level-targeted TDM. Although modeled dosing based on AUC led to faster optimal target attainment, this did not result in less toxicity in the early days after transplantation.

Abstract
Precision medicine is gaining importance in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Objectively reviewing past and current knowledge aids guiding future research. Therefore, we provide a complete overview of all phase II and phase III trials investigating targeted therapies in AML and their primary endpoints over the past two decades in perspective of their clinical benefit. We assessed whether drugs were primarily designed to treat AML or were repurposed and how successful they were based on progression of distinct drugs from phase II to phase III to FDA-approval. Between January 2000 and September 2020, 167 agents with 96 targets were investigated in 397 phase II trials. Twenty-eight agents were steered towards phase III, after three phase II trials on average. Repurposed drugs less often advanced in clinical development than drugs primarily developed for AML. Composite responses were the most prevalent primary endpoints in phase II. Of the eight FDA-approved drugs, none investigated quality of life at time of approval, and three out of eight have yet to show benefit in overall survival. Returns on targeted therapy research remain lean for AML patients. Future trials should not overlook non-targeted agents and foremost study endpoints proven to predict patient well-being.

Abstract
Mass-spectrometry (MS) based phosphoproteomics is increasingly used to explore aberrant cellular signaling and kinase driver activity, aiming to improve kinase inhibitor (KI) treatment selection in malignancies. Phosphorylation is a dynamic, highly regulated post-translational modification that may be affected by variation in pre-analytical sample handling, hampering the translational value of phosphoproteomics-based analyses. Here, we investigate the effect of delay in mononuclear cell isolation on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) phosphorylation profiles. We performed MS on immuno-precipitated phosphotyrosine (pY)-containing peptides isolated from AML samples after seven pre-defined delays before sample processing (direct processing, thirty minutes, one hour, two hours, three hours, four hours and 24 h delay). Up to four hours, pY phosphoproteomics profiles show limited variation. However, in samples processed with a delay of 24 h, we observed significant change in these phosphorylation profiles, with differential phosphorylation of 22 pY phosphopeptides (p < 0.01). This includes increased phosphorylation of pY phosphopeptides of JNK and p38 kinases indicative of stress response activation. Based on these results, we conclude that processing of AML samples should be standardized at all times and should occur within four hours after sample collection. SIGNIFICANCE: Our study provides a practical time-frame in which fresh peripheral blood samples from acute myeloid patients should be processed for phosphoproteomics, in order to warrant correct interpretation of in vivo biology. We show that up to four hours of delayed processing after sample collection, pY phosphoproteomic profiles remain stable. Extended delays are associated with perturbation of phosphorylation profiles. After a delay of 24 h, JNK activation loop phosphorylation is markedly increased and may serve as a biomarker for delayed processing. These findings are relevant for biomedical acute myeloid leukemia research, as phosphoproteomic techniques are of particular interest to investigate aberrant kinase signaling in relation to disease emergence and kinase inhibitor response. With these data, we aim to contribute to reproducible research with meaningful outcomes.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal disease associated with a dismal survival, partly due to the frequent occurrence of relapse. Many patient- and leukemia-specific characteristics, such as age, cytogenetics, mutations, and measurable residual disease (MRD) after intensive chemotherapy, have shown to be valuable prognostic factors. MRD has become a rich field of research where many advances have been made regarding technical, biological, and clinical aspects, which will be the topic of this review. Since many laboratories involved in AML diagnostics have experience in immunophenotyping, multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) based MRD is currently the most commonly used method. Although molecular, quantitative PCR based techniques may be more sensitive, their disadvantage is that they can only be applied in a subset of patients harboring the genetic aberration. Next-generation sequencing can assess and quantify mutations in many genes but currently does not offer highly sensitive MRD measurements on a routine basis. In order to provide reliable MRD results, MRD assay optimization and standardization is essential. Different techniques for MRD assessment are being evaluated, and combinations of the methods have shown promising results for improving its prognostic value. In this regard, the load of leukemic stem cells (LSC) has also been shown to add to the prognostic value of MFC-MRD. At this moment, MRD after intensive chemotherapy is most often used as a prognostic factor to help stratify patients, but also to select the most appropriate consolidation therapy. For example, to guide post-remission treatment for intermediate-risk patients where MRD positive patients receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation and MRD negative receive autologous stem cell transplantation. Other upcoming uses of MRD that are being investigated include: selecting the type of allogeneic stem cell transplantation therapy (donor, conditioning), monitoring after stem cell transplantation (to allow intervention), and determining drug efficacy for the use of a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials.

Abstract
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in deep molecular remission may discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment without relapse. The present study aims to gain insight into the views of CML patients on TKI treatment discontinuation and identify factors that are associated with their willingness to discontinue treatment. A cross-sectional study, among adult Dutch CML patients was conducted to assess willingness and their views on benefits of and concerns about discontinuation. A total of 185 patients participated of whom 76% were willing to discontinue TKI-treatment. Patients considered the absence of side effects the most important benefit whereas fear of disease recurrence was their most prominent concern. Adequate monitoring was the most important prerequisite for TKI-treatment discontinuation. However, ambiguity with respect to perquisites indicate that patients on long-term TKI treatment should be adequately informed both on the possibility to discontinue treatment and on its benefits, risks, and measures that address risks.

Abstract
New treatment options of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are rapidly emerging. Pre-clinical models such as ex vivo cultures are extensively used towards the development of novel drugs and to study synergistic drug combinations, as well as to discover biomarkers for both drug response and anti-cancer drug resistance. Although these approaches empower efficient investigation of multiple drugs in a multitude of primary AML samples, their translational value and reproducibility are hampered by the lack of standardized methodologies and by culture system-specific behavior of AML cells and chemotherapeutic drugs. Moreover, distinct research questions require specific methods which rely on specific technical knowledge and skills. To address these aspects, we herein review commonly used culture techniques in light of diverse research questions. In addition, culture-dependent effects on drug resistance towards commonly used drugs in the treatment of AML are summarized including several pitfalls that may arise because of culture technique artifacts. The primary aim of the current review is to provide practical guidelines for ex vivo primary AML culture experimental design.

Abstract
Introduction This comprehensive observational study aimed to gain insight into adherence to nilotinib and the effect of (non)adherence on exposure (Cmin) and treatment outcomes. Methods Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients using nilotinib were followed for 12 months. Adherence was measured by Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS), pill count, and Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). Nilotinib Cmin and patient-reported outcomes (i.e., quality of life, side effects, beliefs, satisfaction) were measured at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results Sixty-eight patients (57.5 ± 15.0 years, 49% female) participated. Median adherence to nilotinib (MEMS and pill count) was ≥ 99% and adherence < 90% was rare. Self-reported nonadherence (MARS-5) increased in the first year of treatment to a third of patients. In line with the strong beliefs in the necessity of taking nilotinib, forgetting to take a dose was more prevalent than intentionally adjusting/skipping doses. Nilotinib Cmin were generally above the therapeutic target in 95% of patients. Patients reported a variety of side effects, of which fatigue was most frequent. The mean Cmin was higher in patients who reported severe itching and fatigue. The overall 1-year MMR rate ranged from 47 to 71%. Conclusion Substantial nonadherence (< 90%) to nilotinib was rare and nilotinib Cmin were generally above the therapeutic target. Lack of response in our group of patients was not related to nonadherence or inadequate Cmin. Nevertheless, a considerable number of patients experienced difficulties in adhering to the twice daily fasted dosing regimen, emphasizing the importance of continuous support of medication adherence in CML.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder arising from hematopoietic myeloid progenitors. Aberrantly activated tyrosine kinases (TK) are involved in leukemogenesis and are associated with poor treatment outcome. Kinase inhibitor (KI) treatment has shown promise in improving patient outcome in AML. However, inhibitor selection for patients is suboptimal.In a preclinical effort to address KI selection, we analyzed a panel of 16 AML cell lines using phosphotyrosine (pY) enrichment-based, label-free phosphoproteomics. The Integrative Inferred Kinase Activity (INKA) algorithm was used to identify hyperphosphorylated, active kinases as candidates for KI treatment, and efficacy of selected KIs was tested.Heterogeneous signaling was observed with between 241 and 2764 phosphopeptides detected per cell line. Of 4853 identified phosphopeptides with 4229 phosphosites, 4459 phosphopeptides (4430 pY) were linked to 3605 class I sites (3525 pY). INKA analysis in single cell lines successfully pinpointed driver kinases (PDGFRA, JAK2, KIT and FLT3) corresponding with activating mutations present in these cell lines. Furthermore, potential receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) drivers, undetected by standard molecular analyses, were identified in four cell lines (FGFR1 in KG-1 and KG-1a, PDGFRA in Kasumi-3, and FLT3 in MM6). These cell lines proved highly sensitive to specific KIs. Six AML cell lines without a clear RTK driver showed evidence of MAPK1/3 activation, indicative of the presence of activating upstream RAS mutations. Importantly, FLT3 phosphorylation was demonstrated in two clinical AML samples with a FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation.Our data show the potential of pY-phosphoproteomics and INKA analysis to provide insight in AML TK signaling and identify hyperactive kinases as potential targets for treatment in AML cell lines. These results warrant future investigation of clinical samples to further our understanding of TK phosphorylation in relation to clinical response in the individual patient.

Abstract
Objectives Taking advantage of its food‐dependent bioavailability, the present study investigated the effect of a reduced dose taken with real‐life meals on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nilotinib in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients. Methods Nilotinib was taken fasted (300 mg BID, days 1‐4) or with real‐life meals (200 mg BID, days 5‐11). Rich sampling (days 1, 3, 8, 11) allowed for non‐compartmental PK analysis. Nilotinib exposure (AUC0–12 h ‐Cmin ‐Cmax) and its intra‐ and interpatient variability were compared between the two regimens. Adverse events were recorded by means of a patient diary and ECG monitoring. Results Fifteen patients aged 40‐74 years participated. Nilotinib PK following 200 mg BID taken with a meal strongly resembled that of 300 mg BID taken fasted (Cmin percentile (P)10‐P90: 665‐1404 ng/mL and 557‐1743 ng/mL, respectively). Meals delayed nilotinib absorption. Intra‐ and interpatient variability were not increased by intake with meals. Nilotinib with food was well tolerated. Conclusion With support of therapeutic drug monitoring, the use of a reduced 200 mg nilotinib dose with real‐life meals seems feasible and safe. Future (confirmatory) studies should further explore the usefulness of nilotinib dosing together with food, including the relationship with treatment efficacy as well as long‐term effects on quality of life.

Abstract
The therapeutic landscape of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has profoundly changed over the past 7 years. Most patients with chronic phase (CP) now have a normal life expectancy. Another goal is achieving a stable deep molecular response (DMR) and discontinuing medication for treatment-free remission (TFR). The European LeukemiaNet convened an expert panel to critically evaluate and update the evidence to achieve these goals since its previous recommendations. First-line treatment is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI; imatinib brand or generic, dasatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib are available first-line). Generic imatinib is the cost-effective initial treatment in CP. Various contraindications and side-effects of all TKIs should be considered. Patient risk status at diagnosis should be assessed with the new EUTOS long-term survival (ELTS)-score. Monitoring of response should be done by quantitative polymerase chain reaction whenever possible. A change of treatment is recommended when intolerance cannot be ameliorated or when molecular milestones are not reached. Greater than 10% BCR-ABL1 at 3 months indicates treatment failure when confirmed. Allogeneic transplantation continues to be a therapeutic option particularly for advanced phase CML. TKI treatment should be withheld during pregnancy. Treatment discontinuation may be considered in patients with durable DMR with the goal of achieving TFR.

Abstract
In the field of rare bone diseases in particular, a broad care team of specialists embedded in multidisciplinary clinical and research environment is essential to generate new therapeutic solutions and approaches to care. Collaboration among clinical and research departments within a University Medical Center is often difficult to establish, and may be hindered by competition and non-equivalent cooperation inherent in a hierarchical structure. Here we describe the "collaborative organizational model" of the Amsterdam Bone Center (ABC), which emerged from and benefited the rare bone disease team. This team is often confronted with pathologically complex and under-investigated diseases. We describe the benefits of this model that still guarantees the autonomy of each team member, but combines and focuses our collective expertise on a clear shared goal, enabling us to capture synergistic and innovative opportunities for the patient, while avoiding self-interest and possible harmful competition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asciminib is an allosteric inhibitor that binds a myristoyl site of the BCR-ABL1 protein, locking BCR-ABL1 into an inactive conformation through a mechanism distinct from those for all other ABL kinase inhibitors. Asciminib targets both native and mutated BCR-ABL1, including the gatekeeper T315I mutant. The safety and antileukemic activity of asciminib in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia are unknown. METHODS In this phase 1, dose-escalation study, we enrolled 141 patients with chronic-phase and 9 with accelerated-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who had resistance to or unacceptable side effects from at least two previous ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose or the recommended dose (or both) of asciminib. Asciminib was administered once or twice daily (at doses of 10 to 200 mg). The median follow-up was 14 months. RESULTS Patients were heavily pretreated; 70% (105 of 150 patients) had received at least three TKIs. The maximum tolerated dose of asciminib was not reached. Among patients with chronic-phase CML, 34 (92%) with a hematologic relapse had a complete hematologic response; 31 (54%) without a complete cytogenetic response at baseline had a complete cytogenetic response. A major molecular response was achieved or maintained by 12 months in 48% of patients who could be evaluated, including 8 of 14 (57%) deemed to have resistance to or unacceptable side effects from ponatinib. A major molecular response was achieved or maintained by 12 months in 5 patients (28%) with a T315I mutation at baseline. Clinical responses were durable; a major molecular response was maintained in 40 of 44 patients. Dose-limiting toxic effects included asymptomatic elevations in the lipase level and clinical pancreatitis. Common adverse events included fatigue, headache, arthralgia, hypertension, and thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSIONS Asciminib was active in heavily pretreated patients with CML who had resistance to or unacceptable side effects from TKIs, including patients in whom ponatinib had failed and those with a T315I mutation.

Abstract
Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are thought to be the major cause of the recurrence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to their potential for self-renewal. To identify therapeutic strategies targeting LSCs, while sparing healthy hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), we performed gene expression profiling of LSCs, HSCs, and leukemic progenitors all residing within the same AML bone marrow and identified insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) as differentially expressed. Low IGFBP7 is a feature of LSCs and is associated with reduced chemotherapy sensitivity. Enhancing IGFBP7 by overexpression or addition of recombinant human IGFBP7 (rhIGFBP7) resulted in differentiation, inhibition of cell survival, and increased chemotherapy sensitivity of primary AML cells. Adding rhIGFBP7 reduced leukemic stem and/or progenitor survival and reversed a stem-like gene signature, but it had no influence on normal hematopoietic stem cell survival. Our data suggest a potential clinical utility of the addition of rhIGFBP7 to current chemotherapy regimens to decrease AML relapse rates.

Abstract
Objective Relapse of AML after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has a poor prognosis, and standard of care therapy is lacking. Early (<6 months) relapse is associated with dismal outcome, while the majority of relapses occur early after transplantation. A more precise indication which patients could benefit from reinduction therapy is warranted. Methods We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 83 patients with postallogeneic HSCT relapse. Patients were divided based on intention to treat (curative vs supportive care). Results Of the 50 patients treated with curative intent, 44% reached complete remission (CR) upon reinduction chemotherapy, and of these patients, 50% survived. Two survivors reached CR after immunotherapy (donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), without reinduction chemotherapy). Sixty‐nine percent of the survivors had received high‐intensity cytarabine treatment, followed by immunologic consolidation. Relapse <3 months after transplantation was predictive for adverse survival (P = .004), but relapse <6 months was not. In fact, >50% of the survivors had a relapse <6 months. Conclusion We confirmed the dismal prognosis of postallogeneic HSCT relapse. Importantly, our data demonstrate that patients fit enough to receive high‐dose chemotherapy, even when relapse occurred <6 months, had the best chance to obtain durable remissions, in particular when immunologic consolidation was performed after reaching CR.

Abstract
Background Plerixafor (PFX) mobilizes CD34+ cells into circulation by disrupting the CXCR4 binding of the hematopoietic stem cell in its bone marrow niche. Study design and Methods in the prospective HOVON‐107 study (www.hovon.nl) 23 allogeneic HLA–identical sibling donors received one or two subcutaneous (sc) injections of plerixafor 0.320 mg/kg.The primary endpoint, was defined as feasibility to mobilize a minimum of 2.0 x106 CD34+ cells/kg recipient weight obtained by leukopheresis in at least 90% of the donors. Results median 3.3 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg (1.9‐6.5) were collected after 1 (n=12) or 2 (n=10) sc injections of PFX. Side effects occurred in 15/23 (65%) donors: most were grade 1‐2; in 5 donors grade 3 and all resolved. All grafts were directly transplanted. Compared to 10 grafts obtained with G‐CSF the number of CD34+ cells was 2.4 fold lower but the percentage of phenotypically most immature CD34+ subset was higher (31% vs 15%). The total number of CD3+ cells in the graft seemed higher after PFX‐mobilization, but CD4/CD 8 ratios, and frequencies of Th2, Th17 and regulatory T‐cells or NK cells were comparable. All patients engrafted and no increase in incidence or severity of acute or chronic graft versus host disease was observed. Conclusion stem cell mobilization with sc PFX 0.320 mg/kg in allogeneic sibling donors is feasible with limited toxicity for donors. 14 allogeneic donors were mobilized with PFX 0.320 mg intravenously according to the same protocol. Due to the limited numbers, these results are in the supplementary section.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To obtain insight into patients' reasons for medication (non)adherence in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and needs and wishes regarding information and communication. METHODS A mixed-method study on the basis of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The CML patient advocacy group asked patients to participate. RESULTS Sixty-one patients (54 ± 12 years, 43% male) using imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib participated. Fifteen patients (25%) reported to miss an intake at least once a month. Most were not worried about missing an intake and did not discuss missed intakes with their healthcare provider (HCP). Social activities disturbing daily routines and the wish to avoid side effects resulted in nonadherence. Patients wanted extensive and understandable information provided timely on all aspects of CML treatment, in particular on side effects, and a more supportive HCP attitude. CONCLUSIONS Nonadherence to CML medication does not cause concern in all patients and is not discussed pro-actively. HCP have a clear role in supporting medication adherence in CML and must be aware that social activities disturbing daily routines contribute to nonadherence. HCP should discuss (non)adherence in a direct manner, motivate patients to play an active role in managing their medication and timely provide extensive and understandable information on all aspects of CML.

Abstract
Response criteria in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has recently been re-established, with morphologic examination utilized to determine whether patients have achieved complete remission (CR). Approximately half of the adult patients who entered CR will relapse within 12 months due to the outgrowth of residual AML cells in the bone marrow. The quantitation of these remaining leukemia cells, known as minimal or measurable residual disease (MRD), can be a robust biomarker for the prediction of these relapses. Moreover, retrospective analysis of several studies has shown that the presence of MRD in the bone marrow of AML patients correlates with poor survival. Not only is the total leukemic population, reflected by cells harboring a leukemia associated immune-phenotype (LAIP), associated with clinical outcome, but so is the immature low frequency subpopulation of leukemia stem cells (LSC), both of which can be monitored through flow cytometry MRD or MRD-like approaches. The availability of sensitive assays that enable detection of residual leukemia (stem) cells on the basis of disease-specific or disease-associated features (abnormal molecular markers or aberrant immunophenotypes) have drastically improved MRD assessment in AML. However, given the inherent heterogeneity and complexity of AML as a disease, methods for sampling bone marrow and performing MRD and LSC analysis should be harmonized when possible. In this manuscript we describe a detailed methodology for adequate bone marrow aspirate sampling, transport, sample processing for optimal multi-color flow cytometry assessment, and gating strategies to assess MRD and LSC to aid in therapeutic decision making for AML patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The monitoring of response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is of great importance to identify patients failing their treatment in order to adjust TKI choice and thereby prevent progression to advanced stage disease. Cytogenetic monitoring has a lower sensitivity, is expensive, and requires invasive bone marrow sampling. Nevertheless, chronic myeloid leukemia guidelines continue to recommend performing routine cytogenetic response assessments, even when adequate molecular diagnostics are available. METHODS In a population-based registry of newly diagnosed CML patients in the Netherlands, all simultaneous cytogenetic and molecular assessments performed at 3, 6, and 12 months were identified and response of these matched assessments was classified according to European Leukemia Net (ELN) recommendations. The impact of discrepant cytogenetic and molecular response classifications and course of patients with additional chromosomal abnormalities were evaluated. RESULTS The overall agreement of 200 matched assessments was 78%. In case of discordant responses, response at 24 months was consistently better predicted by the molecular outcome. Cytogenetic response assessments provided relevant additional clinical information only in some cases of molecular "warning." The development of additional cytogenetic abnormalities was always accompanied with molecular failure. CONCLUSION We conclude that it is safe to omit routine cytogenetics for response assessment during treatment and to only use molecular monitoring, in order to prevent ambiguous classifications, reduce costs, and reduce the need for invasive bone marrow sampling. Cytogenetic re-assessment should still be performed when molecular response is suboptimal.
