Q

“clogged pipe”

AML

A
  • hypercellular bone marrow: immature cells otugrow all other cells - crowding out -> cytopenia

Q

management of hyperleukocytosis

A

hydroxyurea: “count control”, it suppresses it until we can acutely treat - use until pt clinally stable and ready to start chemo

dose is whatever works tbh

Q

aggressive inductio chemo treatment pathway for AML

A
  1. cytarabine 7 days+ anthracyline 3 days (daunorubicin or idarubacin)
  2. bone marrow biopsy at day 14
  3. if pt leukemia free at bone biopsy: wait for count recovery and re-biopsy for documentation of complete remission; if NOT, reinduction or salvage therapy
  4. after complete remission: consolidation and consderation for bone marrow transplant

in step 1 can use lipossomal daunorubicin/cytarbine if pt qualifies

Q

treatment for pts who did NOT qualify for aggressive induction chem in AML

A
  • low-intensity chemo
    • azacitidine + venetoclax
    • if pt has IDH1: ivosidenib+venetoclax
    • if pt qualifies: gemtuzumab ozogamicin
  • if pt progresses, switch to supportive care/comfort measures

pts who go down this route do NOT receive curative treatment

Q

AML inductio chemo: 7+3

A
  • day 1-7: chemo admin (ADR: N/V, GI, fatigue)
  • day 8-24: cell count nadir, plt transfusion, recovery (ADR: fatigue, fever, infection, high RBC)
  • day 25+: complete cell count recovery - dcc from hospital once ANC > 500 and pt no longer transfusion dependent
26
Q

AML additive agents to induction 7+3

A
  • FLT3-ITD: quizartinib o days 8-21 of induciton and 6-19 of consolidation
  • FLT3-TKD (and technically ITD): midostaurin BID with food on days 8-21 of induction and consolidation
  • favorable/intermediate cytogenetics: gemtuzumab ozogamicin on days 1, 4, 7 of induction and day 1 of consoldiaiton
27
Q

quizartinib ADR

A

cardiac (QT prolongation)

28
Q

midostaurin ADR

A

smell so bad pts throw up

29
Q

when to use liposomal daunorubicin/cytarabine instead of 7+3 in aggressive AML induction therapy

A

in pts with t-AML or AML with myelodysplatic related changes (AML-MRC)

better outcomes than 7+3 in secondary AML

30
Q

mutation of interest in CML

A

9;22 translocation (philadelphia chromosome)

test for prior to treatment, if pt doesn’t have, it’s likely not CML

31
Q

CML presentation

A
  • mostly asymp
  • splenomegaly
  • WBC > 25 x 10^9
32
Q

chronic phase CML

A
  • <10% blasts
  • treatment: TKI
  • treatment goal: delayed progression, eradicate Ph chromosome
33
Q

accelerated phase CML

A
  • blasts 10-19%
  • treatment: TKI (at probs a higher dose than chronic phase)
  • treatment goal: control WBC, go back to chronic phase and avoid progression
34
Q

blast phase CML

A
  • blasts > 20%
  • treatment: treat like AML and slap on a TKI
  • treatment goal: suvivie iduciton, bridge to allogenic stem cell transplant
35
Q

TKI class ADR

  • myelosuppresision
  • transaminitis
  • electrolyte changes
36

37
Q

which TKIs need to be dose adjusted in hepatic impairment

A
  • imitinib
  • nilotinib
  • bosutinib
  • ponatinib
38
Q

whcih TKIs need to be dose adjusted in renal impairment

A

imitanib

39
Q

T315I mutation

A
  • the “gatekeeping mutation”
  • mutation that prevents most TKIs from working
  • treat the CML with ascimiib (preferred) or ponatinib
40
Q

CML treatment monitoring

A

molecular response: look at transcript level of fusion protein (which leads ot proliferation) -> quantifiy amount of that protein in your blood

41
Q

CML treatment: BCR-ABL goal

A
  • @ 3 months: BCR-ABL < 10%
  • @ 6 months: < 1%
  • @ 12 months: < 0.1%

if not meeting goal, look into reaosns why

picking a TKI

low/intermediate risk: dasatinib preferred dt tolerability
- can also just do
