Clonal chromosomal abnormalities in Philadelphia chromosome-negative metaphases (CCA/Ph-) emerge as patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) are treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We assessed the characteristics and prognostic impact of 598 patients with CP-CML treated on clinical trials with various TKIs. CCA/Ph- occurred in 58 patients (10%) and the most common were - Y in 25 (43%) and trisomy 8 in 7 patients (12%). Response to TKI therapy was similar for patients with CCA/Ph- and those without additional chromosomal abnormalities (ACAs). We further categorized CCA/Ph- into those where - Y was the only clonal abnormality, and all others. We found that patients with non -Y CCA/Ph- had worse failure-free survival (FFS), event-free survival (EFS), transformation-free survival (TFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to those without ACAs with the following 5-year rates: FFS (52% vs 70%, P=0.02), EFS (68% vs 86%, P=0.02), TFS (76% vs 94%, P <0.01) and OS (79% vs 94%, P=0.03). In a multivariate analysis, non -Y CCA/Ph- increased the risk of transformation or death when baseline characteristics were considered with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.81 (95% CI 1.15-6.89, P=0.02). However, this prognostic impact was not statistically significant when achieving BCR-ABL <10% at 3 months was included in the analysis. In conclusion, non -Y CCA/Ph- are associated with decreased survival when emerging in patients with chronic phase CML across various TKIs.
