Table 1. Indication for donor search and allogeneic stem cell transplantation in chronic myeloid leukemia*1.

Following diagnosis During disease course
HLA-typing of patient and search for family donor
  • AP or BC

  • Mutation T315I

  • Major route aberrations*2

  • Failure of first-line TKI

  • Failure of two TKI

  • Progress with AP, BC, or mutation T315I

Search for unrelated donor
  • Mutation T315I

  • AP or BC

  • Failure of nilotinib or dasatinib as first-line TKI

  • Failure of two TKI

  • Progress with AP, BC, or mutation T315I

Indication for allogeneic SCT
  • Mutation T315I

  • BC

  • AP without optimal response to TKI

  • Failure of nilotinib or dasatinib as first-line TKI

  • Failure of two TKI

  • Progress with AP, BC, or mutation T315I

*1A tiered approach is recommended, depending on initial risk constellation and disease course.

*2Clonal chromosomal aberrations in Philadelphia chromosome-positive cells, e.g., trisomy 8, trisomy Ph (+der(22)t(9;22)(q34;q11)), isochromosome 17 (i(17)(q10)), trisomy 19 and ider(22)(q10)t(9;22)(q34;q11)

SCT, stem cell transplantation; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; AP, accelerated phase; BC, blast crisis; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor(s)
