Background: Although the vast majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) respond to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib mesylate, resistance might occur de novo or during treatment.Methods: The authors reviewed the known mechanisms of primary and secondary resistance to imatinib and other TKIs used in the management of CML.Results: Mutations within the kinase domain of BCR-ABLI account for 30% to 40% of cases of imatinib resistance. Other mechanisms include BCR-ABLI amplification, overexpression of the SRC family of kinases, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors.Conclusions: Although not all resistance mechanisms have been identified and understood, several agents based on the known mechanisms have already been designed and developed and are beginning clinical trials.
