51 year old CP CML diagnosed 2017. On 6th line Ponatinib. Had all TKIs and Asciminib (Asciminib worst for side effects) but all stopped due to severe joint, and muscle pain causing disability. Started Ponatinib Sept 2023 15mg 3x weekly with good response and MMR. Initially had no pain and tolerated well. Now has severe joint and muscle pain and hypertension even on 15mg weekly Ponatinib. Due to treatment breaks and low dosage, BCR ABL has now risen to 5%. Will respond to increasing Ponatinib but at cost of patient disability. No KD mutations and has no issues with treatment failure, only tolerance. Declined allograft. Patient is a self employed builder. No other medical history and no other cause for pain. Pain stops with cessation of TKI after several weeks then recurs immediately on restarting. How can we manage this patient?
