Role of treatment in the appearance and selection of BCR-ABL1 kinase domain mutations.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe availability of different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with distinct anti-leukemic potency enables optimization of current therapeutic regimens; however, some patients lose their therapy response and acquire TKI resistance. In this study, we describe a single-center experience of monitoring BCR-ABL1 kinase domain (KD) mutations and discuss the impact of treatment on mutation selection.
methodsChronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients treated with TKIs at the Department of Internal Medicine-Hematology and Oncology, Masaryk University and University Hospital Brno during 2003-2011 were included in this study. A total number of 100 patients who did not achieve an optimal therapy response or who lost their therapy response were screened for the presence of BCR-ABL1 KD mutations, using direct sequencing.
resultsOur data show that pretreatment with non-specific non-TKI drugs prior to TKI therapy does not preferentially select for initial BCR-ABL1 KD mutations, in contrast to first-line imatinib therapy, which shows a clear predominance of T315I or P-loop mutations compared with mutations located in other KD regions. In addition, the median time to detection of P-loop mutations was substantially shorter in patients treated with first-line imatinib than in those pretreated with non-TKI drugs. Furthermore, analysis of CML patients who had recurrent resistance to TKI therapy revealed possible therapy-driven selection of BCR-ABL1 KD mutations. Finally, we confirm the previously described poor prognosis of CML patients with mutations in the BCR-ABL1 KD, since 40.0% of our CML patients who harbored a BCR-ABL1 KD mutation died from CML while receiving TKI treatment. Moreover, among the patients who are still on treatment, 27.8% have already progressed. Our data also confirm the unique position of the T315I mutation with respect to its strong resistance to currently approved TKIs.
conclusionOn the basis of the 'real-life' data described in this study, it is possible that the therapy itself results in its failure and selects the most resistant mutations under the selective pressure of the applied therapy regimen in some CML patients who harbor BCR-ABL1 KD mutations.
