Abstract
Aim: To conduct a systematic literature review of real-world evidence on the burden of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) failure in Chinese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods: We identified 155 references in Chinese- and English-language journals from 2001 to 2021. Results: The age-adjusted mortality rate in Chinese CML patients was decreasing. Imatinib treatment had a higher annual treatment failure risk than nilotinib (0.199 vs 0.041). Patients with TKI treatment failure tended to be young (median: 38.6years), have progressive disease (44.3%) and harbor BCR-ABL1 mutations (51.6%). The disease burden of TKI treatment failure included reduced health outcomes and increased health resource utilization and costs. Conclusion: CML relapse cases could continuously rise in China due to increasing TKI treatment failure over extended survival.
