Shaun Patterson, PhD, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK, shares insights into the DESTINY trial (NCT01804985), which investigated the discontinuation of TKIs in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). He states that intronic DNA variants, including EZH2 and GATA2, may predict treatment-free remission (TFR), and further suggests that these findings could be validated in a larger prospective clinical trial to potentially improve patient stratification and quality of life. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
