Blood

Abstract

Background: Metabolic changes such as Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and hyperlipidemia (HLD) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Incidence of metabolic outcomes in this population has not been evaluated in large, real-world studies. The purpose of this study was to determine incidence and risk for T2DM and HLD in commercially and Medicare insured US patients prescribed dasatinib or nilotinib as first or second line therapy for CML. Methods: A retrospective cohort study using the MarketScan healthcare claims was conducted. Patients ≥18 years with ≥2 inpatient or outpatient claims for CML (ICD-9 205.10-205.12) separated by at least 30 days and ≥1 prescription for dasatinib or nilotinib from July 2006- December 2014 were eligible. Patients were required to have continuous enrollment for ≥6 months prior to the first TKI prescription (index date) and no exposure to a TKI other than imatinib during the pre-index period. No minimum f...
