× To share and enhance best practice management of CML, experts and interested clinicians can discuss difficult or interesting CML cases here. Physicians submit a brief history of the patient and the case for discussion (no more than 200 words) by posting it in this forum ("New Discussion" button below). Please include the country of origin.

Each clinical case will be forwarded to the expert clinical panel for a brief independent response. Consideration should be given to patient confidentiality. Details that are not critical to the case can be changed to preserve anonymity. Please consider including your email with the case. This will not be posted on the website, but is useful should further details be requested by the moderator.

As a full clinical history is necessary for accurate comment, cases and comments on the Forum are ONLY ACCEPTED FROM PHYSICIANS. If individual patients have a specific question we encourage them to contact their healthcare provider. General questions can be emailed to info@cml-foundation.org.

K245N mutation

K245N mutation was created by Susanne Saussele
Male patient, 50 years old at diagnosis, CML since 11/2019, initial CP, Ph pos, typical transcript, no comorbidities.

Started with nilotinib treatment 11/2019, BCR >1% after 1 Year (3.5%), Dasatinib not tolerated, switch to ponatinib 30mg 1/21 (within a study) increased to 45 mg 6/21 (BCR-ABL 0.5%)

As the BCR::ABL1 level increased in March this year (0.6%) a mutational analysis was performed in 2 labs . One lab detected the K245N mutation.

Since then BCR:ABL1 decreased to 0.2% but is stable for 3 months now, still no MMR.

We recommended an allo SCT as the mutation appeared. But only one donor with mismatch was detected. One son (17 years old) could be a haplo donor.

Patient’s wish is to try asciminib.

What would you do?

This mutation is not well know.

Whether asciminib would be efficient is uncertain due to lack of data.

Vodobatinib in trial may also be attempted but again, no set of data against this mutation.

I would not transplant.

I would try to know what is the size of the mutated clone by ngs. I may maintain pona provided stability of mrd ... and change upon increase. Difficult indeed.

Best regards,

Delphine
