Copanlisib, a novel phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, combined with carfilzomib inhibits multiple myeloma cell proliferation
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a uniformly fatal disorder of B cells characterized by the accumulation of abnormal plasma cells. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathways play a critical regulatory role in...

Deeper molecular response is a predictive factor for treatment-free remission after imatinib discontinuation in patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia: the JALSG-STIM213 study
The objective of this prospective clinical trial (JALSG-STIM213, UMIN000011971) was to evaluate treatment-free remission (TFR) rates after discontinuation of imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML pat...

Article
Ponatinib in Japanese patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia, a phase 1/2 study
In this ongoing Phase 1/2 study (NCT01667133), we evaluated ponatinib and assessed its recommended dose in Japanese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) resistant/intolerant to dasatinib or nilotinib, ...

Up-regulated exosomal miRNA-140-3p in CML patients with musculoskeletal pain associated with discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors
We analyzed the exosomal miRNA from peripheral blood from CML patients with musculoskeletal pain after stop** tyrosine kinase inhibitors to identify possible factors related to this manifestation. Exosomal m...

Open AccessAnti-leukemic activity of axitinib against cells harboring the BCR-ABL T315I point mutation
The BCR-ABL; breakpoint cluster region-Abelson point mutation T315I is resistant to ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, axitinib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, is effective agai...

Article
A multinational, open-label, phase 2 study of ruxolitinib in Asian patients with myelofibrosis: Japanese subset analysis
Ruxolitinib is a potent Janus kinase (JAK) 1/JAK2 inhibitor that has demonstrated rapid and durable improvements in splenomegaly and symptoms and a survival benefit in 2 phase 3 trials in patients with myelofi...

Article
Open AccessCombination of the ABL kinase inhibitor imatinib with the Janus kinase 2 inhibitor TG101348 for targeting residual BCR-ABL-positive cells
The ABL kinase inhibitor imatinib is highly effective in treating most, but not all, patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This is because residual CML cells are generally present in the bone marrow mi...

Article
Open AccessActivity of histone deacetylase inhibitors and an Aurora kinase inhibitor in BCR-ABL-expressing leukemia cells: Combination of HDAC and Aurora inhibitors in BCR-ABL-expressing cells
The use of imatinib, an ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has led to a dramatic change in the management of BCR-ABL-positive leukemia patients. However, resistance to imatinib mediated by mutations in the BCR-ABL...

Open AccessDasatinib preferentially induces apoptosis by inhibiting Lyn kinase in nilotinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line
Nilotinib is approved for treatment of newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and it is shown superiority over imatinib in first-line treatment for patients of CML. In this study, we established a nilo...

Article
Efficacy of MK-0457 and in combination with vorinostat against Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells
Aurora kinases play a pivotal role in the regulator of mitotic processes during cell division and Aurora kinases are overexpressed in a number of human cancers. In this study, we examined the intracellular sig...

Successful prior treatment with dasatinib followed by stem cell transplantation in a patient with CML in blastic crisis with a BCR–ABL mutation
We report a case of imatinib- and nilotinib-resistant Ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis in which successful pretreatment with dasatinib with cord blood transplantation resulted in mole...

Article
Current and future perspectives on the TARGET system: the registration system for Glivec® established by the JSH
Since hematology is a highly specialized field, an individual physician may not have much direct treatment experience with a given disease. Therefore, the Japanese Society of Hematology (JSH) has discussed est...
