Clinical outcomes in patients in any phase of CML treated with ponatinib in France—Data from the TOPASE observational study

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The TOPASE study was set up to evaluate the outcomes of chronic myeloid leukaemia [CML] patients treated with ponatinib (PON) in a real-world setting in France. One hundred and twenty CML patients, 105 in chronic phase (CP), 8 in accelerated phase (AP) and 7 in blastic phase (BP) were included. Fifty-one (49%) of the CP-CML patients were in third line of treatment. The trigger for PON initiation in CP-CML was 'poor response' in 67 patients, 'poor tolerance' in 28 patients and 'response enhancement' in seven patients. The median dose at initiation was 30 mg/day [Q1; Q3 = 15; 30] in CP-CML and 45 mg/day [Q1; Q3 = 30; 45] in AP/BP-CML. Of 98 CP-CML evaluable patients, 72 (73.5%) were considered as responders (MMR) at one time point at least once, especially for those in second line of treatment and/or presenting a T315I mutation. Ninety-six of 120 (80%) patients reported at least one adverse event. An arterial occlusive event (AOE) was reported in 11 patients (9.2%). Thus, these real-life data confirm the potency of ponatinib in resistant or intolerant patients with an acceptable safety profile in non-selected patients. NCT number: NCT04048564.
