How to improve treatment-free remission eligibility in chronic myeloid leukaemia?

© 2023 British Society for Haematology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

The achievement of treatment-free remission (TFR) has become a significant clinical end-point in the management of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), providing an opportunity to discontinue therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) while maintaining deep molecular response (DMR). Early studies, such as the French STIM trial, have demonstrated that a portion of patients can maintain DMR after treatment cessation, with rates ranging from 40% to 50%, and most relapses occurring within the first 6 months. Key prognostic factors for successful TFR, including treatment duration, duration of DMR, risk scores, and transcript type, have been identified. Optimal patient selection for TFR remains a challenge, but recent research provides insights into potential strategies to increase TFR eligibility. Evidence suggests that early intervention switching to achieve optimal response, treatment combinations, proactive switch in the case of absence of DMR, dose-optimization and induction-maintenance approach can improve molecular responses and, consequently, enhance TFR eligibility. In this review, we report and discuss all the potential therapeutic strategies that may enhance eligibility for a first attempt at TFR, with a particular emphasis on potential future approaches.
