Résumé
The OPAL study is a French multicenter observational retrospective analysis of adults with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated in a real-life setting by ponatinib. Twenty-nine patients were included since 2012. Median age was 55 years. The initial dose of ponatinib, combined to chemotherapy in half of the patients, was 45 mg/day in most instances. The remission rate was 90% and seven patients received allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Median disease-free and overall survival were only 3.5 and 9.9 months respectively. The outcome of patients with ABL mutation was similar to that of unmutated patients. With a median duration of exposure to ponatinib of 4 months, only 3 cardio-vascular events were recorded despite a high incidence of risk factors, and overall safety was acceptable. These results underline the place of ponatinib to induce early response in advanced disease and the need of new combinations to improve long-term outcome.
