We’re pleased to share the 2021-2022 iCMLf Annual Report. To begin, it’s a pleasure to start with a note from the Chairman and Chief Executive.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This year as we slowly work our way into a new normal after the peak of the pandemic, our efforts have solidified into two key areas:

  1. Harnessing our power through global research
  2. Raising the bar for CML best practice around the world

As we began our financial year in September 2021 the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 had yet to arrive and we were still collecting cases for the iCMLf COVID-19 registry. Two hundred physicians from 58 countries submitted a total of 1,050 cases giving a truly global perspective of the impact of COVID-19 on people with CML. The four publications from this registry data have all shown that people with well-controlled CML have the same risk profile as that of the general population for outcomes of COVID-19. We are incredibly proud of the work and global collaboration that resulted from this registry in spite of the devastation that made it necessary.
