    Five-Year Real World Data on AML Retrospective Study from Public Health Center in Brazil (ASH 2023)
    The standard remission induction regimen for medically eligible patients with AML consists of a backbone of cytarabine & an anthracycline (“7+3” therapy)... The outcomes were consistent with the literature, adjusted for the population in question. Even with access to diagnostic tests (not common in Brazilian's health public centers), patients did not have access to targeted therapies, with the 7+3 regimen being the only treatment for fit patients. To achieve complete remission followed consolidation/transplantation is still the BEST scenarios in AML eligible patients, but the improvement of access to diagnostic and treatment is still an unmet need.

    GILTERITINIB MONOTHERAPY AS A TRANSPLANT BRIDGING OPTION FOR HIGH RISK FLT3-MUTATED NPM1 MUTATED AML IN MORPHOLOGICAL BUT NOT MOLECULAR REMISSION FOLLOWING STANDARD INDUCTION AND SAVAGE THERAPY (SIE 2023)
    The patient started cytoreductive therapy with hydroxyurea but after recovery from the SARS COV2 infection, presented cutaneous nodularities, jet vomiting, eyelid ptosis and decreased visual acuity...She started induction chemotherapy 3+7 regimen plus anti-CD33 gemtuzumab-ozogamicin therapy and medicated lumbar punctures with cytarabine...The patient was started to pretransplantation work up but unfortunately a cytomegalic infection complicated by acute heart failure led to the death of the patient. In conclusion, this case report points out some effects of Gilteritinib: the potential utility of FLT3 inhibitors in relapsed AML patients, the safe administration, the efficacy of gilteritinib monotherapy also as a bridge to transplantation, the ability to clearance blast percentage in a short period of time.

    The Impact of DNMT3A Mutation on Survival of AML Patients Receiving Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in First Remission Depends on the Karyotype and Co-Occurring Mutations: On Behalf of the EBMT Acute Leukemia Working Party (ASH 2023)
    Our data suggest that DNMT3A mutation negatively affects post-transplant survival selectively in patients with normal karyotype and either NPM1 mutation without FLT3-ITD, or patients with normal karyotype, FLT3-ITD and wild type NPM1. DNMT3A mutation shows no impact on post-transplant outcomes in other settings.

    EXPRESSION OF BCL2 , BAX AND MDR1 GENES AS PHARMACOTRANSCRIPTOMIC MARKERS OF PROGNOSIS IN DE NOVO PATIENTS OF ADULT ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA WITH NORMAL KARYOTYPE (EHA 2023)
    This is the first study that focused only on AML-NK patients, when it comes to analysis of BCL2 , BAX and MDR1 gene expression profiles. The results of this preliminary study have shown that high BCL2 expression would likely lead to tumor resistance from chemotherapy, making anti-BCL2 treatment a viable option in patients with this expression profile. A study on a larger group of patients could clarify the prognostic importance of the studied pharmacotranscriptomics markers, contributing to a creation of personalized treatment of adult AML-NK patients.

    THE INFLUENCE OF BCL2 , BAX , BAX/BCL2 RATIO AND MDR1 GENE EXPRESSION ON PROGNOSIS OF ADULT DE NOVO ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA PATIENTS WITH NORMAL KARYOTYPE (EHA 2023)
    All patients received induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine (3+7) followed by three consolidation cycles of high/intermediate doses of cytarabine. Our analysis of BCL2 , BAX and MDR1 gene expression profiles is the first study focusing exclusively on AML-NK patients. Preliminary results showed that patients with high BCL2 expression are likely to be chemo resistant, and possibly may benefit from specific anti-BCL2 treatment. Further investigations conducted on a larger number of patients could elucidate actual prognostic significance of these genes in AML-NK patients.

    CD34 negative HLA-DR negative acute myeloid leukaemia: A higher association with NPM1 and FLT3-ITD mutations. (PubMed, Int J Lab Hematol)
    We found that the CD34 negative HLADR negative non APL AML is highly associated with NPM1 and FLT3-ITD mutation, older age at diagnosis, DIC, higher total leucocyte count, higher blast counts and normal karyotype in comparison to CD34 positive HLA-DR negative AML group. Co-occurrence of NPM1 and FLT3-ITD mutation was also exclusively seen in CD34 negative HLA-DR negative group. There was poor overall survival in CD34 positive HLA-DR negative AML than CD34 negative HLA-DR negative AML cases.

Data from this large cohort of AML patients treated with non-intensive regimens underlines the limitations of the ELN 2017 risk stratification in this setting. Nonetheless, there was a trend towards worse OS in patients with normal karyotype and FLT3-ITD mutation (irrespectively of the allelic burden) as compared to FLT3WT patients. Figure 1.

    Conditioning Regimen Intensity and Donor Choice Do Not Impact Outcomes of Patients (pts) with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (Allo-HCT) in First Complete Remission (CR1): An EBMT Analysis (ASH 2022)
    The most common conditioning regimen was fludarabine/busulfan in MSD (n=148, 50%), MUD (n=272, 57%) and MMUD (n=38, 43%) recipients, while thiotepa/fludarabine/busulfan was the most used in haplo-HCT (n=99, 60%)...Most (n=1002, 98%) pts received calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), tacrolimus or cyclosporine A, for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in addition to mycophenolate mofetil (43%) or methotrexate (38%). Post-transplant cyclophosphamide was used in 18% (n=191) of pts, with 71% (n=136) having received haplo-HCT, and anti-thymocyte globulin was given to 67% (n=689)...Survival after MSD allo-HCT is comparable to MUD and haplo, a finding that is in accordance with previous results for haplo and MUD as valid alternative donors in the absence of MSD. The use of MMUD was associated with lower OS compared to MSD and should be used as a last resort donor in this setting.

    Leukemia-free survival was also comparable between groups (2.4 years versus 1 year; p=0.15). Conclusion Venous thrombosis is seen mostly during the initial induction phase of AML patients receiving intensive therapy with a tight association with the MRC intermediate risk category, however long-term survival and leukemia related outcomes are not significantly impacted by the diagnosis of thrombosis.

    Clinical and Functional Implications of MYC Variants As a New Class of Pathogenic Variants in AML (ASH 2022)
    Here we define MYC aberrations as a new class of pathogenic variants in childhood AML. We demonstrate functional and clinical characterization of a novel MYC-ITD and contrast this novel variant to that of established pathogenic MYCSNV/indel. We show the high prevalence of co-occurring core-binding factor fusions with MYC-ITD, and high frequency of co-occurring NUP98-NSD1, FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations in MYCSNV/indel.

    Prognostic Relevance of NPM1 and FLT3 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, Longterm Follow-Up-A Single Center Experience. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
    Our data indicate that a high dose of ARAC plus idarubicin consolidation exerts a strong anti-leukemic effect in NPM1-mutated patients both with the FLT3 wild-type and mutated AML, while in the NPM1 wild-type and FLT3-mutated, the therapeutic effect remains unsatisfactory. New strategies incorporating target therapy with second-generation inhibitors will improve these results and their addition to this aggressive chemotherapeutic program merits testing.

    Prognostic Relevance of DNMT3A, FLT3 and NPM1 Mutations in Syrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
    Patients with FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations have the worst prognosis, where the presence of those mutations was significantly related to overall survival (OS) and EFS. Our study reflects that DNMT3A was not an extremely bad prognostic effect as an independent factor. We can declare according to this study that genetic mutation and variants detection could easily be incorporated into the regimen evaluation of AML patients.

    Prediction of Early Mortality with Non-Intensive Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Therapies: Analysis of 1336 Patients from MRC/NCRI and SWOG (ASH 2021)
    Treatments included: Low dose Ara-C (LDAC) alone, sapacitabine alone and LDAC in combination with vosaroxin, tosedostat or ganetespib (MRC/NCRI); Azacytidine (AZA) alone, tipifarnib alone, and AZA in combination with mylotarg, midostaurin, and nivolumab (SWOG). Our ability to predict early death in older patients treated with lower intensity AML therapies is limited with routinely available clinical variables. Inclusion of cytogenetic risk, FLT3-ITD, and NPM1 mutation status minimally improved the prognostic accuracy as did some of the QLQ-C30 subscales. Our data highlight the difficulties in predicting outcomes with non-intensive AML therapy with routinely available baseline clinical information.

    He had no response to both arsenic trioxide and CAG regimen (cytarabine, aclarubicin, and G-CSF). To date, the patient achieved durable complete remission over 58 months. These findings suggest that AML with cup-like blasts and FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations mimic APL, and the prognosis of this subtype may be improved by sorafenib combined with LDAC.

    Maturation State-Specific Alternative Splicing in FLT3-ITD and NPM1 Mutated AML. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
    Interestingly, we observed functional divergence between alternatively spliced and differentially expressed genes in FLT3-ITD+/NPM1+ samples in all analyzed FAB types, with differential expression affecting genes involved in hematopoietic differentiation. Altogether, these observations indicate that concomitant FLT3-ITD and mutated NPM1 are associated with the maturation state-specific differential splicing of genes with potential oncogenic relevance.

    [VIRTUAL] SUPERIOR OUTCOMES FOLLOWING ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION IN FIRST REMISSION FOR NPM1/FLT3-ITD MUTATED AML (EHA 2021)
    Importantly, 52% (n=14) of FLT3-ITD-ve cases achieved a second remission (CR2) with chemotherapy, while only 24% (n=5) of FLT3-ITD+ cases were able to reach CR2 (p=0.049 [data precede availability of Gilteritinib at relapse])...Significantly higher relapse rates were observed in FLT3-ITD+ cases treated with chemotherapy alone, followed by poor responses to salvage chemotherapy and fewer patients achieving CR2. Collectively, our data suggest that alloSCT consolidation should be prioritised in NPM1+/FLT3-ITD+ AML to achieve improved long-term outcomes within this higher risk cohort.
