A Conventional approach. Lancet Oncol. Intriguingly, this was the first large study to show that the FLT3i may also benefit FLT3 wild-type patients, perhaps through multi-kinase blockade or prevention of emergent FLT3 clones at relapse28. In patients with concurrent NPM1mut, the OS and relapse risk were comparable between FLT3 wild-type and FLT3-ITDmut AR <0.5, but worse when AR 0.5. Cite this article. G Nagel 2017 Epidemiological, genetic, and clinical characterization by age of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia based on an academic population-based registry study (AMLSG BiO) Ann. FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations were correlated, and the favorable prognostic impact of being FLT3-ITD negative and NPM1 mutation positive was evident only in patients aged 65 years or more. The median OS was 1.0years [CI not calculable (NC)], 2.3years (CI: 1.23.5), 1.6years (CI: 0.62.6) and 1.0years (CI: 0.81.2), respectively (P=0.9). The landscape of mutations identified by NGS in AML patients. We stop the venetoclax and the FLT3i after Day 14 in patients who achieve marrow remission (<5% blasts) and/or marrow aplasia/hypoplasia/insufficiency (<5% cellularity). Minetto and colleagues retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine, and idarubicin (FAI) in 149 newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDmut and/or NPM1mut AML (only FLT3-ITDmut=29; FLT3-ITDmut NPM1mut=59, only NPM1mut=61). N. Engl. We have no information on the treatment received by the remaining patients. We tried to validate the thresholds of ITD length previously published (i.e., 39bp and 70bp) in intensivelytreated AML patients (n=161). The median OS was 2.4years (CI 05.5), 1.7years (CI: 04.4), 1.3years (CI 0.62.0), 1.5years (CI: 0.22.7), 0.9years (CI NC) and 2.3years (CI: 04.8), respectively. The addition of sorafenib significantly improved the event-free survival (EFS; 21 months vs 9 months; P=0.013) and RFS (56% vs 38%), but not OS28, although a recent update suggested an emerging trend toward improved OS29.

Seventeen patients underwent autologous hematopoietic progenitor transplantation, and forty-four patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor transplantation (Table 1). Oncol. The data described in the literature alongside the results that we have obtained regarding ITD mutation lead us to believe that future studies should focus on the functional characterization of the protein products of the mutated genes. Google Scholar. Am. Slider with three articles shown per slide. It is important to acknowledge the diverse mechanisms of FLT3i resistance after different FLT3is, and it is essential to proactively evaluate for these mechanisms at the time of FLT3i failure to optimize subsequent therapy. Nevertheless, there are numerous and contradictory manuscripts regarding the prognostic importance of the length and insertion site of the ITD fragment. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for OS prediction was 0.504. FLT3-ITD is located within exon 14, corresponding to JMD, in 70% of AML patients, while 30% of ITDs span exon 15, corresponding to the TKD1 domain. is a PhD candidate at Universidad Autnoma de Madrid (UAM). As consolidation therapy, one hundred patients received high-intensity treatment (3+7, n=68; 3+7+gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), n=4; 2+5=2; IDA-FLAG, n=1; high-dose cytarabine (HDARAC), n=23; low-dose cytarabine (LDARAC), n=1; and Ara-C 100mg/m25, n=1).

Absence of the wild-type allele predicts poor prognosis in adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia with normal cytogenetics and the internal tandem duplication of FLT3: a cancer and leukemia group B study. 4). Remember me on this computer. Among 729 AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations included in the PETHEMA AML epidemiologic registry between 2003 and 2019, FLT3-ITD length was available in 362: 188 males and 174 females; median age of 60.8years (range 17.191.4years). In particular, high (>0.5) mutant-to-wild-type (WT) allelic ratios (AR) in the FLT3-ITD gene are associated with inferior prognosis ( 6, 7 ). This result is similar to the RATIFY study, in which 44% of patients lost FLT3 ITD under treatment with midostaurin 36. Alotaibi, A. S. et al. J. Med.

ABSTRACT. Although the triplet approaches are still in development, emerging data with the triplets as discussed previously, suggest rapid and high potency, deep molecular remissions, and encouraging survival. Higher daunorubicin exposure benefits FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia. Oran, B. et al. Yilmaz et al. Kottaridis, P. D. et al. FLT3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase with important roles in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell survival and proliferation. This model of initiatory and progression mutation as FLT3 is well described 37, 38. While the adverse prognostic impact of FLT3-ITDmut in AML has been clearly proven, the prognostic significance of FLT3-TKDmut remains speculative. FLT3 -ITD and FLT3 point mutations show a gain-of-function phenotype with distinct signalling properties in vitro. In the QuANTUM-R and ADMIRAL trials, only 4% and 12% of patients had received prior FLT3i therapy with induction, making it difficult to draw conclusions regarding the outcomes of contemporary patients, most of whom will have received a FLT3i (commonly midostaurin) with induction36,40. Blood 124, 34413449 (2014). Konopleva, M. et al. J. Hematol. Minetto, P. et al. This is in line with the preclinical data49 and molecular profiling of pre- and post-treatment samples66 identifying FLT3-ITDmut as a putative mechanism of resistance to venetoclax based therapies67, suggesting that FLT3-ITDmut patients may need a FLT3i incorporated into the HMA with venetoclax therapy either in a triplet or sequential approach to improve OS. ; Writingreview and editing, J.M.A., E.B., R.R.V., C.S., C.G., M.C.C., M.B.V., R.G., J.M.L., R.M.A., M.J.L., E.A., R.C., A.C., E.C., E.S.S., J.L., I.R., L.A., C.R.M., C.B.S., J.A.L.L., J.S., E.C., M.J.S., M.T.O., J.S.G., M.M., C.B., J.L.L.L., D.L., J.S., D.M.C., M.A.S. However, emerging data does suggest that patients with FLT3-ITDmut AR<0.5 and NPM1 co-mutation without concurrent high-risk mutations such as DNMT3A, TP53, TET2, or high-risk cytogenetics may be a more favorable subset, who may be considered for induction, consolidation followed by maintenance therapy without ASCT on a case by case basis if they achieve early MRD negativity using a highly sensitive MRD assay. On the other hand, we obtained a value (0.52) that was close to significant in the analysis of the prognostic impact of the FLT3-ITD AR according to the 2017 ELN cutoff8.

Results of venetoclax and azacitidine combination in chemotherapy ineligible untreated patients with acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 mutations. FLT3-ITD mutations occur in the form of a replicated sequence in the juxtamembrane domain (JMD) and/or TKD1 of the FLT3 gene. Regarding ITD length, some authors have found that patients with shorter ITD lengths have more favorable outcomes11,12 or worse prognoses13, while other researchers did not find a prognostic relationship14. Internet Explorer). Quizartinib, a second-generation, type I FLT3i is active against FLT3, KIT, CSF1R, PDGFR, and RET kinase34. Given the increasing importance that massive sequencing techniques are acquiring in the prognosis determination and therapeutic management of AML patients, we decided to study the possible correlation between the length or site of the insertion of the mutated ITD fragment and the mutational profile of these patients. Protein alteration seems to be much more complex than the length of the mutation or the site of insertion; therefore, our efforts to simplify FLT3-ITD characteristicsby stratifying the risk of the patients may be fruitless. All four patients with ITD insertions in TKD1 had mutations in DNTM3A, compared with 39 out of 96 patients (41%) with ITD insertions in the JMD domain (P=0.031). 1). Background and aims: To explore the relationship between FLT3 (encoding Fms related tyrosine kinase 3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations with the prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. J. Natl Cancer Inst. In the R/R setting, the CRc rate was 64% (n=18/28) with a median OS of 12.0 months, with responses observed even in prior FLT3i exposed patients48. Collectively, NPM1mut even with FLT3-ITDmut AR <0.5 are likely higher risk than truly favorable risk AML and we continue to consider them for ASCT in CR1. Google Scholar. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 19.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY). and P.M.; Validation, T.C., J.M.A., E.B. Among patients treated with gilteritinib, the median overall survival was similar among those with FLT3 ITD mutations alone (9.3 months) and those with FLT3 TKD mutations alone (8.0 months). Similarly, a stratified analysis of FLT3-ITD length on the basis of 2010 ELN genetic risk was performed in 123 patients (intermediate-I group, ITD<39bp, n=31 and ITD39bp, n=68; intermediate-II group, ITD<39bp, n=5 and ITD39bp, n=10; and adverse group, ITD<39bp, n=2 and ITD39bp, n=7). Blood 130, 566 (2017). The choice of treatment backbone depends on the patients ability to successfully tolerate intensive chemotherapy. Accumulating evidence have shown improved outcomes in FLT3-ITDmut patients receiving induction with higher dose anthracyclines57, cladribine58, or fludarabine added to induction backbone21, and incorporating FLT3i with induction (either first or second generation) in FLT3mut AML24,44,59,60 (Fig. Mutant FLT3: a direct target of sorafenib in acute myelogenous leukemia.

However, in a recently released planned interim analysis, the study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival and may be terminated for futility46. In patients with newly diagnosed AML, FLT3-ITDmut is a poor prognostic factor in terms of relapse-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS)7,8,9,10. Diagn. S.V.

We currently recommend the incorporation of FLT3is and ASCT in CR1 in all ASCT eligible patients with a FLT3-ITDmut AML, irrespective of the AR and/or NPM1 co-mutation status. Patients treated with midostaurin had higher rates of anemia and skin rash compared to placebo and these were generally manageable with supportive care without necessitating dose reductions or interruptions in the majority of cases. Among 16 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML not eligible for intensive induction, the CRc rate was 88% with FLT3-PCR negativity in 100% of responders and a projected 2-year OS of >80%. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-00050-x. evaluated the impact of AR in 323 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDmut AML.

More studies will be necessary to confirm these results and to shed light on the possible physiopathologic relationship. Two classes of activating FLT3 mutations occur in AML: (1) internal tandem duplication ( FLT3 -ITD) which occur in 20-25% of patients and (2) tyrosine kinase domain mutations ( FLT3 -TKD) which are seen in 5-10% of patients [48].
