Abstract
Clinical research has not been able to establish whether the differences between first- and second-generation BCR-ABL 1 kinase inhibitors are clinically relevant with regard to outcome. In the study by Alcazer et al., a relevant difference seems to emerge-paradoxically in the absence of the drugs-as demonstrated by differences in the relapse kinetics after cessation of therapy. Commentary on: Alcazer et al. Kinetics of molecular recurrence after tyrosine kinase inhibitor cessation in chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukaemia patients. Br J Haematol 2024;204:1536-1539.
