Abstract: Objective To analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of flumatinib as second-line treatment for elderly patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase(CML-CP). Methods A retrospective study including 25 elderly CML-CP patients who received flumatinib as a second-line drug for more than 3 months in our hospital from 2020 to 2023 was conducted, and the efficacy and influencing factors were analyzed. Results A total of 25 patients who failed first-line imatinib treatment were collected, with a median follow-up of 24 (2-48) months, 22 (88.0%) patients obtained complete hematological response(CHR)and 10 (40.0%) patients obtained major molecular response(MMR). Univariate analysis showed that Sokal score was a factor influencing patients to obtain MMR; Sokal score, duration of imatinib treatment and pretreatment resistance status were influencing factors of CCyR. The median progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were 19.4 months and 22.5 months, respectively. The incidence rate of hematologic adverse events was 28.0% (7/25) and the incidence rate of non-hematologic adverse events was 20.0% (5/25). Conclusions Flumatinib is safe and effective in the second-line treatment of CML-CP in the elderly.
