period of 38 months, seven patients are alive (Table 2). Themedian survival time in the 16 patients was 27Æ1 months(range: 2Æ5–37Æ6 months).

Haematological events recorded during treatmentwith dasatinibDuring treatment with dasatinib, mild to severe cytopeniadeveloped in a majority of our patients (Table 3). Especiallyin patients in whom disease-related cytopenia pre-existed,dasatinib was found to promote the pre-existing cytopenia.This cytopenia-promoting effect was particularly seen inpatients with pre-existing anaemia or pre-existing thrombocy-topenia. By contrast, in most patients in whom grade III orIV neutropenia developed, no substantial neutropenia wasdetectable before dasatinib (Table 3). All in all, grade IVcytopenia developed in 10 patients. Interestingly, in a fewpatients, dasatinib did not induce cytopenia. These patientsshowed a fast complete response with rapid regeneration ofnormal haematopoiesis. Haematological findings (cytopenia)are shown in Table 3.

Non-haematological events recorded duringtreatment with dasatinibNon-haematological adverse events were recorded in allpatients and included weight loss of at least 10% of bodyweight (6 ⁄ 16, 37Æ5%), pleural effusions grade II or higher (75%of all patients), fatigue (12Æ5%) and infections requiring antibi-otic therapy (75%). One patient in CML AP died from atypicalpneumonia caused by pneumocystis jirovecii ⁄ carinii (Table 4,Fig. S1). This patient also developed pleural effusions that wererecorded shortly before pneumonia was diagnosed. One patientdeveloped EBV-positive mucosal leukoplakia of the tongue(Fig. S2), one porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), one late onsetrheumatoid arthritis (LORA), one a paresis of the N. facialisand one a permanent loss of function of the N. olfactorius(Table 4). In the patients with PCT and LORA and in the twopatients with neurological defects, no infectious agents weredetected. In three patients, a skin tumour was found (squamouscell carcinoma, n = 2; basal cell carcinoma, n = 1) (Table 4).Most events were recorded within the first year of therapy. In afew patients (n = 3), pleural effusions developed within the sec-ond year. Interestingly, all three skin tumours were detected inthe third year of therapy with dasatinib. Other nonhaematologi-cal toxicities were mild and tolerable. Specifically, no severecardiac event was recorded. Moreover, we did not record anysevere gastrointestinal, renal or hepatic events during treatmentwith dasatinib.

Effects of dasatinib on the number of immune cellsIn a subset of patients, the numbers of CD3+ and CD4+ T cellsand CD19+ B cells were recorded. In four of five patients exam-ined, a sustained decrease in CD19+ B cells, sometimes down tovery low or even undetectable counts, was seen (Fig. 1a,b), andin 4 ⁄ 4 patients recorded, a slight to moderate decrease in CD3+

and CD4+ T cells was found (Fig. 1c–f). Overall, CD19+ B cellsdecreased from a pretreatment level of 246 ± 311 lL)1 blood to75 ± 80 lL)1 blood at 3 months (P < 0Æ05), CD3+ T cells from1022 ± 190 lL)1 blood to 868 ± 323 lL)1 blood at 3 months,and CD4+ T cells dropped from a pretreatment value of614 ± 195 lL)1 blood to 495 ± 271 lL)1 blood at 3 months.During the same time, WBC and ANC also decreased substan-tially (ANC from 10 556 ± 9673 lL)1 before treatment to1587 ± 917 lL)1 at 3 months). In 2 ⁄ 4 patients, a decrease inCD3+ ⁄ CD56+ and CD3) ⁄ CD56+ NK cells was observed,whereas in two other cases, the numbers of CD56+ cellsincreased (Fig. 1g–j). Immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM)did not change during therapy with dasatinib (not shown).

The levels of serum tryptase, a marker that correlates withthe number of mast cells in healthy subjects and that is also pro-duced in immature CML basophils, decreased substantiallyduring dasatinib in most patients (from a pretreatment level of

51Æ2 ± 112Æ8 ng mL)1 to 6Æ0 ± 8Æ0 ng mL)1 at 3 months,P < 0Æ05) (Fig. 1k–n). Interestingly, during dasatinib, serumtryptase levels not only decreased to normal range, suggestingan effect on CML basophils, but further decreased, sometimesto undetectable levels (Fig. 1m–n), suggesting drug effects onnormal (mast) cells.

Dasatinib blocks TcR-dependent activation of T cellsand IgE receptor-dependent activation of basophilsin a subset of patientsRecent data suggest that dasatinib interferes with TcR-depen-dent activation of T cells and IgE receptor-dependent activationof basophils [18–20]. We examined T cell receptor-dependentactivation of ex vivo T lymphocytes and IgE receptor-dependentactivation of ex vivo blood basophils obtained from the periph-eral blood. Blood was drawn before and 2 h after dasatinibintake (70 mg p.o.) in four patients. Interestingly, in one patient,

a complete suppression of TcR-dependent activation of T cellsand IgE receptor-dependent activation of blood basophils wasfound after dasatinib intake. In particular, OKT3-inducedupregulation of CD69 on T cells and anti-IgE-induced upregu-lation of CD63 and CD203c on basophils was completelysuppressed after dasatinib intake (Fig. 2). In the other threepatients, receptor-dependent activation of T cells remainedunaltered. In two of these patients, basophil activation waspartially or completely blocked after dasatinib, whereas in onepatient, upregulation of CD63 was even more pronounced afterdasatinib intake compared with pretreatment levels (Fig. 2).These data suggest that dasatinib acts immunosuppressivein vivo in a subgroup of patients. We also asked whether theimmunosuppressive effect of dasatinib is a long-lasting effect.However, after several hours (after dasatinib intake), ex vivoT cells and basophils responded well to receptor-specificstimuli in all donors (data not shown).
