Title:
1779 Favorable Outcomes of DDX41-Mutated MDS and Low Blast Count AML Treated with Azacitidine with or without Lenalidomide (ALLG MDS4 Trial)
Published date:

Excerpt:
The Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) MDS4 phase II trial randomized 160 patients (pts) with higher risk (by IPSS) myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and low blast acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to either azacitidine (AZA) or combination AZA with lenalidomide....TET2 was the only gene mutation associated with significantly improved benefit when treated with AZA alone (OR 10 [95% CI, 2 to 81]). Median follow up among survivors was 49 months and the median overall survival was 33.2 months (95% CI, 21.7 – NE).

Title:
Impact of TET2 mutations on response rate to azacitidine in myelodysplastic syndromes and low blast count acute myeloid leukemias
Excerpt:
We sequenced the TET2 gene in 86 MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 20-30% blasts treated by AZA...The response rate (including hematological improvement) was 82% in MUT versus 45% in WT patients (P=0.007)...In higher risk MDS and AML with low blast count, TET2 status may be a genetic predictor of response to AZA...
