Abstract 283P
Background
As most assessments for treatment-free remission (TFR) in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia are recommended to be conducted as prospective trials, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate which study-level factors affected the TFR rate.
Methods
The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched from inception to July 2018. A random effect model was used to estimate the overall mean TFR rate, subgroup differences, and regression coefficients with continuous variables.
Results
Overall, 12 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) stopping studies comprising 1,699 chronic myeloid leukemia patients were included in the analyses. The overall mean TFR rate at 24 months after entering TFR phase was 55% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.51–0.58). Trials with molecular criteria of MR4.5 or better for stopping TKI reported higher TFR rates than those of MR4.0 (57.2% vs. 50.5%). Trials with eligible criteria for at least 24 months of deep molecular response (DMR) duration demonstrated higher TFR rates than those for 18 or 12 months (60.2% vs. 49.9%).
Conclusions
It is expected that TKI stopping trials with sufficient duration of DMR and molecular criteria of MR4.5 or better could secure approximately 60% of the TFR rate at 24 months after stopping TKI.
