Bosutinib is an oral, dual SRC/ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with clinical activity in Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) leukemia. We assessed the safety and tolerability of bosutinib 500 mg per day in a phase 1/2 study in chronic-phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or advanced Ph(+) leukemia following resistance/intolerance to imatinib and possibly other TKIs. Patient cohorts included second-line CP CML (n = 286), third-/fourth-line CP CML (n = 118), and advanced leukemia (n = 166). Median bosutinib duration was 11.1 (range, 0.03-83.4) months. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in each cohort were primarily gastrointestinal (diarrhea [86%/83%/74%], nausea [46%/48%/48%], and vomiting [37%/38%/43%]). Diarrhea presented early, with few (8%) patients experiencing grade 3/4 events; dose reduction due to diarrhea occurred in 6% of affected patients. Grade 3/4 myelosuppression TEAEs were reported in 41% of patients; among affected patients, 46% were managed with bosutinib interruption and 32% with dose reduction. Alanine aminotransferase elevation TEAEs occurred in 17% of patients (grade 3/4, 7%); among patients managed with dose interruption, bosutinib rechallenge was successful in 74%. Bosutinib demonstrated acceptable safety with manageable toxicities in Ph(+) leukemia. This trial (NCT00261846) was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov (this manuscript is based on a different data snapshot from that in ClinicalTrials.gov).

Dasatinib, which is an inhibitor of BCR-ABL and SRC family tyrosine kinases, is used for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive leukemia, especially for those who develop resistance or who are intolerant to imatinib. The most common adverse effects attributed to its use are: myelosuppression, nausea, diarrhea, and peripheral edema. Hemorrhage, which could be gastrointestinal, genitourinary or central nervous system, is a less frequent adverse effect. In this case, we report a patient affected by precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) positive for the Ph chromosome translocation treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) dasatinib. During the treatment with dasatinib the patient developed subdural hematoma (SDH). She did not have any head trauma, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy or meningeal involvement, making dasatinib-induced platelet dysfunction the most likely cause of SDH.
