Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
- BCR-ABL1 fusion arising from t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) (Philadelphia chromosome) in 100% — defining + targetable driver
- p210 (Major BCR breakpoint, e13a2 / e14a2): classic CML (>95%)
- p190 (minor BCR, e1a2): more often Ph+ ALL, occasionally lymphoid-blast-phase CML
- p230 (micro BCR, e19a2): rare, indolent neutrophilic CML
- Sporadic; rare environmental association (ionizing radiation)

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive
PRO-AGGRESSIVE
Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
- CML patient with cardiovascular / metabolic / pulmonary comorbidity profile that constrains 2nd-generation TKI choice. Specifically: uncontrolled hypertension, prior arterial thrombotic event, QTc-prolongation risk (baseline QTc > 460 ms or QT-prolonging medications), pancreatitis history, pulmonary hypertension, or pleural-effusion-prone state. Drives selection toward asciminib (STAMP inhibitor, cleanest CV/QTc profile) over nilotinib (CV / QTc / metabolic risk), dasatinib (pleural effusion / pulmonary hypertension), or bosutinib (GI / hepatic) when 2nd-gen TKI is otherwise indicated by RF-CML-HIGH-RISK-ELTS.
Co-determines TKI selection with RF-CML-HIGH-RISK-ELTS. The combination matters: high-risk CML *plus* CV-comorbidity → asciminib preferred (per ASCEMBL trial 3L+ data extrapolating to comorbid 1L use under expanded ELN guidance)…
RF-CML-COMORBIDITY-COMPLEXSRC-NCCN-MPN-2025SRC-ESMO-CML-2017SRC-ELN-CML-2020 - CML patient elderly or frail (age ≥75, ECOG ≥2 with multiple comorbidities) where toxicity profile + life-expectancy considerations favor imatinib over higher-toxicity 2nd-gen TKIs
Imatinib generally preferred for elderly / frail patients given: (1) lifetime CV-event risk on nilotinib increases with age; (2) treatment-free remission less of a goal in elderly; (3) cost / generic availability + Ukraine reimbursement…
RF-CML-FRAILTY-AGESRC-NCCN-MPN-2025SRC-ELN-CML-2020 - CML patient with comorbidity excluding specific 2nd-gen TKIs: significant cardiovascular disease (PAOD, prior MI/stroke, uncontrolled HTN — avoid nilotinib/ponatinib), pulmonary disease (COPD, prior pleural disease — avoid dasatinib), severe GI disease (avoid bosutinib), pancreatitis history (avoid nilotinib)
Direction "investigate" — surfaces comorbidity-matched TKI choice as a supplementary annotation rather than a binary indication switch. ELN 2020 comorbidity matrix: - CV disease / hyperlipidemia / DM → AVOID nilotinib + ponatinib…
RF-CML-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTIONSRC-NCCN-MPN-2025SRC-ELN-CML-2020 - CML with T315I gatekeeper mutation in the BCR-ABL1 kinase domain — resistant to all 1st/2nd-gen TKIs; requires ponatinib or asciminib (STAMP)
T315I emergence on imatinib / 2nd-gen TKI mandates switch to ponatinib (full-dose 45 mg → response-adjusted to 15 mg per OPTIC) or asciminib STAMP (response rates ~50% in T315I-positive). Both NOT registered in Ukraine — major access…
RF-CML-T315I-MUTATIONSRC-NCCN-MPN-2025SRC-ELN-CML-2020 - CML in accelerated or blast phase: ≥10% blasts in PB or BM (accelerated), ≥20% blasts (blast phase), or extramedullary blasts. Treatment intent shifts from chronic-phase TKI to acute-leukemia-style induction + alloHCT.
Triggers HOLD on chronic-phase 1L algorithm. Accelerated/blast-phase CML is a clinical emergency: high-dose 2nd/3rd-gen TKI (dasatinib 140 mg or ponatinib if T315I), urgent donor search for alloHCT, induction chemotherapy (myeloid blast…

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE
Hard contraindications to escalation
- Alemtuzumab causes profound, prolonged CD4+ T-cell depletion (median recovery 9-12 months). Active uncontrolled infection at baseline becomes life-threatening once cellular immunity collapses. HIV-positive status is itself an absolute contraindication — alemtuzumab on top of HIV immunosuppression has unacceptable infectious mortality.
CI-ACTIVE-INFECTION-FOR-ALEMTUZUMAB
What NOT to do
Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-CML-2L-PONATINIB-T315I)
- Do NOT prescribe without baseline cardiovascular workup (ECG, BP, lipid panel, fasting glucose, ABI if PAD risk).
- Do NOT ignore aggressive CV risk-factor management — cumulative vascular toxicity is not reversible.
- Do NOT maintain full-dose 45 mg after achieving MMR — switch to 15 mg per OPTIC; reduces vascular events ~50%.
- Do NOT prescribe in recent MI / stroke / severe PAD — absolute CI.
- Do NOT combine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitor without dose reduction.
- Do NOT continue after a new arterial occlusive event — permanently discontinue, switch to asciminib (T315I high-dose) or alloHCT.
- Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — drug not registered in Ukraine.
Aggressive plan (IND-CML-ADVANCED-ALLOHCT)
- Do NOT continue TKI-only therapy in blast crisis — alloHCT pathway is considered in the first weeks after transformation.
- Do NOT perform HCT during active uncontrolled infection — lymphodepletion + GVHD prophylaxis = high mortality.
- Do NOT perform HCT without optimal disease control — outcomes substantially worse with active blast crisis.
- Do NOT ignore donor-search timing — international donor may require 2-3 months; start search early.
- Do NOT discontinue TKI immediately before conditioning in blast crisis — continue through conditioning per institution.
- Do NOT skip post-HCT TKI maintenance (≥2 years) — reduces relapse rate.
- Do NOT forget fertility preservation in young patients before conditioning — myeloablative regimen is usually sterilizing.
Aggressive plan (IND-CML-3L-ASCIMINIB)
- Do NOT prescribe without kinase-domain mutation testing at the time of failure — T315I requires a different dose (200 mg BID); other mutations have a different resistance pattern.
- Do NOT ignore meals — high-fat meal reduces bioavailability; maintain consistent timing.
- Do NOT combine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors without dose reduction.
- Do NOT ignore baseline + regular lipase + glucose — subclinical pancreatitis + hyperglycemia documented.
- Do NOT discontinue for transient cytopenia — most common reason for dose hold; recovery typically rapid with G-CSF.
- Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — drug not registered in Ukraine.
- Do NOT forget alloHCT as a curative alternative for fit-young patients — asciminib is not curative.
