Journal ArticleDOI
Imatinib compared with interferon and low-dose cytarabine for newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia
Stephen G. O'Brien,François Guilhot,Richard A. Larson,Insa Gathmann,Michele Baccarani,Francisco Cervantes,Jan J. Cornelissen,Thomas Fischer,Andreas Hochhaus,Timothy P. Hughes,Klaus Lechner,Johan Lanng Nielsen,Philippe Rousselot,Josy Reiffers,Giuseppe Saglio,John D. Shepherd,Bengt Simonsson,Alois Gratwohl,John M. Goldman,Hagop M. Kantarjian,Kerry Taylor,Gregor Verhoef,Ann E. Bolton,Renaud Capdeville,Brian J. Druker +24 more
TL;DR: Imatinib was superior to interferon alfa plus low-dose cytarabine as first-line therapy in newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML and was better tolerated than combination therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brian J. Druker,François Guilhot,Stephen G. O'Brien,Insa Gathmann,Hagop M. Kantarjian,Norbert Gattermann,Michael W. Deininger,Richard T. Silver,John M.

Radich,Bengt Simonsson,Kerry Taylor,Michele Baccarani,Charlene So,Laurie Letvak,Richard A. Larson +31 more
TL;DR: After 5 years of follow-up, continuous treatment of chronic-phase CML with imatinib as initial therapy was found to induce durable responses in a high proportion of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Goldman,Rüdiger Hehlmann +31 more
TL;DR: Optimal responders to chronic myeloid leukemia treatment should continue therapy indefinitely, with careful surveillance, or they can be enrolled in controlled studies of treatment discontinuation once a deeper molecular response is achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
JAK inhibition with ruxolitinib versus best available therapy for myelofibrosis.
Claire N. Harrison,Jean-Jacques Kiladjian,Haifa Kathrin Al-Ali,Heinz Gisslinger,Roger J. Waltzman,Viktoriya Stalbovskaya,Mari McQuitty,Deborah S. Hunter,Richard S. Levy,Laurent Knoops,Francisco Cervantes,Alessandro M. Vannucchi,Tiziano Barbui,Giovanni Barosi +13 more
TL;DR: Continuous ruxolitinib therapy, as compared with the best available therapy, was associated with marked and durable reductions in splenomegaly and disease-related symptoms, improvements in role functioning and quality of life, and modest toxic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: An Update of Concepts and Management Recommendations of European LeukemiaNet
Michele Baccarani,Jorge E. Cortes,Fabrizio Pane,Dietger Niederwieser,Giuseppe Saglio,Jane F. Apperley,Francisco Cervantes,Michael W. Deininger,Alois Gratwohl,François Guilhot,Andreas Hochhaus,Mary M. Horowitz,Timothy P. Hughes,Hagop M. Kantarjian,Richard A. Larson,Jerald P. Radich,Bengt Simonsson,Richard T. Silver,John M. Goldman,Rüdiger Hehlmann +19 more
TL;DR: Imatinib should be continued indefinitely in optimal responders and second-generation TKIs are recommended, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation only in instances of failure and, sometimes, suboptimal response, depending on transplantation risk.
