Factors affecting duration of survival after onset of blastic transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Abstract:

:We analyzed factors having an impact on response to treatment and survival in 78 consecutive patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blastic transformation (BT) referred to the Hammersmith Hospital from January 1995 to December 2000. BT was defined as the presence of at least 30% blasts in blood or marrow or extramedullary blastic deposits. Immunophenotyping of blasts showed 57 myeloid, 19 lymphoid, and 2 biphenotypic. The median age of the patients was 39.1 years (range, 11.3-73.4 years), with 55 males and 23 females. The median survival for all patients after onset of BT was 8.2 months (95% CI, 6.4-10). Patients in lymphoid BT survived longer than those in myeloid BT (median, 11.2 months versus 6.9 months, P =.052). Initial treatment varied; 41 patients received cytotoxic drugs, 8 underwent allogeneic or autologous transplantation procedures, 21 received STI571 (imatinib mesylate, Gleevec), 1 received radiotherapy, and 7 received no therapy. Of the 25 (32%) patients who achieved a "second chronic phase" with first therapy, 6 of 21 (29%) were treated with STI571 and 19 of 50 (38%) were treated with chemotherapy, transplantation, or radiotherapy. Patients who achieved a second chronic phase survived longer than those who did not (median time from onset of BT 12.0 months versus 6.3 months, P =.0004). In multivariate analysis the finding of more than 50% blast cells in the blood and the presence of cytogenetic progression were independent adverse prognostic variables for survival. We conclude that survival after onset of BT has improved in recent years but is still unsatisfactory. We speculate that the combined use of STI571 with cytotoxic drugs may offer additional benefit.
