Résumé

Second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI2) often induce molecular remission, and prolonged survival with a better tolerance in imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) patients. We report the case of a CML in first chronic phase who was diagnosed in August 2003 in a young 24 year-old Caucasian woman. Our patient received first imatinib and then dasatinib and nilotinib. Imatinib was well tolerated and she developed TTP/HUS on dasatinib without documented evolution of CML and finally obtained MR5.0 with nilotinib and without any side effect. This case also illustrates the absence of cross-resistance and side-effects between the different TKIs and the feasibility of kidney transplantation associated with a nilotinib treatment of CML allowing a continuing MR5.0 and no further side effects.
