Adapting <scp>UK</scp> Clinical Practise in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in Chronic Phase to Contemporary Management Recommendations: The <scp>ADAPT</scp> 2.0 Survey
OBJECTIVE: Chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) treatment recommendations have changed substantially in recent years. The ADAPT 2.0 survey aimed to provide an updated understanding of CML-CP management in the UK. METHODS: This healthcare professional (HCP) survey, conducted between December 2023 and June 2024, assessed treatment goals, choice of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), unmet needs and approaches to treatment-free remission (TFR). RESULTS: UK CML-CP practise is generally aligned with the contemporary guidelines for CML management. Key treatment goals were major molecular response (54%-77% across treatment lines) and deep molecular response (5%-46%). The main factors influencing first-line (1 L) TKI selection were treatment guidelines (97%), comorbidities (90%) and TFR as a treatment goal (82%). Therapy switch after one warning European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2020 response was rare (10% vs. 56% in patients with > 1 warning response and 100% in failure response). BCR::ABL1 mutation analysis was less common after one warning response versus > 1 warning response (54% vs. 82%). TKI toxicity, resistance, intolerance and T315I mutation management were key unmet needs in later treatment lines; achieving and maintaining TFR were key unmet needs in 1 L. CONCLUSION: The ADAPT 2.0 survey highlights potential areas of improvement in current CML-CP management in the UK.
