DASFREE is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II trial assessing TFR after dasatinib discontinuation in patients with CML-CP (N = 84). At 2 years, TFR was 46% in all patients. Multivariate analyses revealed statistically significant associations between 2-year TFR and duration of prior dasatinib (≥median; p = .0051), line of therapy (first line; p = .0138), and age (>65 years; p = .0012). No disease transformation occurred, and the most common adverse events experienced off treatment were musculoskeletal (observed in 30 patients); however, dasatinib withdrawal events were reported in nine patients (11%) by the investigator. Overall, these findings support the feasibility of discontinuing dasatinib for patients with CML-CP in sustained DMR in the first line and beyond.
