RESUMO

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex hematological malignancy characterized by diverse genetic alterations, each with distinct clinical implications. Chromosome 3 inversion (inv(3)) is a rare genetic anomaly found in approximately 1.4-1.6% of AML cases, which profoundly affects prognosis. This review explores the pathophysiology of inv(3) AML, focusing on fusion genes like GATA2::EVI1 or GATA2::MECOM. These genetic rearrangements disrupt critical cellular processes and lead to leukemia development. Current treatment modalities, including intensive chemotherapy (IC), hypomethylating agents (HMAs) combined with venetoclax, and allogeneic stem cell transplantation are discussed, highlighting outcomes achieved and their limitations. The review also addresses subgroups of inv(3) AML, describing additional mutations and their impact on treatment response. The poor prognosis associated with inv(3) AML underscores the urgent need to develop more potent therapies for this AML subtype. This comprehensive overview aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of inv(3) AML and guide future research and treatment strategies.

RESUMO

While intensive induction chemotherapy (IC) remains the standard of care for younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), data from older patients shows that hypomethylating agents + venetoclax (HMA/VEN) can lead to durable remissions among patients with NPM1 mutations. Whether IC or HMA/VEN is superior in patients ≥60 years-old with NPM1-mutant AML is unknown. To compare IC and HMA/VEN, we performed an international, multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed, NPM1-mutant AML.We included 221 patients (147 IC, 74 HMA/VEN) with previously untreated NPM1-mutant AML. Composite complete remission (cCR; defined as CR + CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]) rate was similar for IC and HMA/VEN (cCR: 85% vs. 74%; p=0.067). While OS was favorable with IC in unselected patients compared to HMA/VEN (24-month OS 59% [95% CI: 52-69%] vs. 38% [95% CI 27-55%]; p=0.013), it was not statistically different among patients 60-75 years-old (60% [95% CI 52-70%] vs. 44% [95% CI 29-66%]; p=0.069) and patients who received an allogeneic stem cell transplant (70% [95% CI: 58-85%] vs. 66% [95% CI: 44-100%]; p=0.56). Subgroup analyses suggested that patients with normal cytogenetics (24-month OS with IC 65% [95% 56-74%] vs. 40% [95% CI: 26-60%] with HMA/VEN; p=0.009) and without FLT3-ITD mutations might benefit from IC compared with HMA/VEN (24-month OS: 68% [95% CI: 59-79%] vs. 43% [95% CI: 29-63%]; p=0.008). In multivariable analysis, OS was not statistically different for patients treated with IC and HMA/VEN (hazard ratio for death HMA/VEN vs. IC: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.40-1.27; p=0.25).

RESUMO

Notable treatment advances have been made in recent years for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS), and several new drugs are under development. For example, the emerging availability of oral MDS therapies holds the promise of improving patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Within this rapidly evolving landscape, the inclusion of HRQoL and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is critical to inform the benefit/risk assessment of new therapies or to assess whether patients live longer and better, for what will likely remain a largely incurable disease. We provide practical considerations to support investigators in generating high-quality PRO data in future MDS trials. We first describe several challenges that are to be thoughtfully considered when designing an MDS-focused clinical trial with a PRO endpoint. We then discuss aspects related to the design of the study, including PRO assessment strategies. We also discuss statistical approaches illustrating the potential value of time-to-event analyses and their implications within the estimand framework. Finally, based on a literature review of MDS randomized controlled trials with a PRO endpoint, we note the PRO items that deserve special attention when reporting future MDS trial results. We hope these practical considerations will facilitate the generation of rigorous PRO data that can robustly inform MDS patient care and support treatment decision-making for this patient population.

RESUMO

In somatic tissue differentiation, chromatin accessibility changes govern priming and precursor commitment towards cellular fates1-3. Therefore, somatic mutations are likely to alter chromatin accessibility patterns, as they disrupt differentiation topologies leading to abnormal clonal outgrowth. However, defining the impact of somatic mutations on the epigenome in human samples is challenging due to admixed mutated and wild-type cells. Here, to chart how somatic mutations disrupt epigenetic landscapes in human clonal outgrowths, we developed genotyping of targeted loci with single-cell chromatin accessibility (GoT-ChA). This high-throughput platform links genotypes to chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution across thousands of cells within a single assay. We applied GoT-ChA to CD34+ cells from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms with JAK2V617F-mutated haematopoiesis. Differential accessibility analysis between wild-type and JAK2V617F-mutant progenitors revealed both cell-intrinsic and cell-state-specific shifts within mutant haematopoietic precursors, including cell-intrinsic pro-inflammatory signatures in haematopoietic stem cells, and a distinct profibrotic inflammatory chromatin landscape in megakaryocytic progenitors. Integration of mitochondrial genome profiling and cell-surface protein expression measurement allowed expansion of genotyping onto DOGMA-seq through imputation, enabling single-cell capture of genotypes, chromatin accessibility, RNA expression and cell-surface protein expression. Collectively, we show that the JAK2V617F mutation leads to epigenetic rewiring in a cell-intrinsic and cell type-specific manner, influencing inflammation states and differentiation trajectories. We envision that GoT-ChA will empower broad future investigations of the critical link between somatic mutations and epigenetic alterations across clonal populations in malignant and non-malignant contexts.

RESUMO

TP53 mutations are found in 5%-10% of de novo myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML cases. By contrast, in therapy related MDS and AML, mutations in TP53 are found in up to 30%-40% of patients. The majority of inactivating mutations observed in MDS and AML are missense mutations localized in a few prevalent hotspots. TP53 missense mutations together with truncating mutations or chromosomal loss of TP53 determine a loss-of-function effect on normal p53 function. Clonal expansion of TP53-mutant clones is observed under the selection pressure of chemotherapy or MDM2 inhibitor therapy. TP53-mutant clones are resistant to current chemotherapy, and when responses to treatment have been observed, they have correlated poorly with overall survival. The most heavily investigated and targeted agent for patients with TP53-mutant MDS and AML has been APR-246 (eprenetapopt) a p53 reactivator, in combination with azacitidine, but also in triplets with venetoclax. Despite positive results in phase II trials, a phase III trial did not confirm superior response or improved survival. Other agents, like magrolimab (anti-CD47 antibody), failed to demonstrate improved activity in TP53-mutant MDS and AML. Agents whose activity is not dependent on a functional apoptosis system like anti-CD123 antibodies or cellular therapies are in development and may hold promises. Delivering prognostic information in a dismal disease like TP53-mutated MDS and AML is particularly challenging. The physician should balance hope and realism, describing the trajectory of possible treatments and at the same time indicating the poor outcome, together with promoting adaptive coping in patients and elaborating on the nature of the disease.

RESUMO

While there is clear evidence to suggest poorer outcome associated with multi-hit (MH) TP53 mutation compared to single-hit (SH) in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), data are conflicting in both higher-risk MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We conducted an indepth analysis utilizing data from 10 US academic institutions to study differences in molecular characteristics and outcomes of SH (n= 139) versus MH (n= 243) TP53MTAML. Complex cytogenetics (CG) were more common in MH compared to SH TP53MT AML (p <0.001); whereas ASXL1 (p= <0.001), RAS (p<0.001), splicing factor (p= 0.003), IDH1/2 (p= 0.001), FLT3 ITD (p= <0.001) and NPM1 (p= 0.005) mutations significantly clustered with SH TP53MT AML. Survival after excluding patients who received best supportive care alone was dismal but not significantly different between SH and MH (event free survival [EFS]: 3.0 vs 2.20 months, p= 0.22/ overall survival [OS]: 8.50 vs 7.53 months, respectively, p= 0.13). In multivariable analysis, IDH1 mutation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) as a time-dependent covariate were associated with superior EFS (HR; 0.44, 95% CI: 0.19-1.01, p= 0.05/ HR; 0.34, 95% CI: 0.18-0.62, p<0.001) and OS (HR; 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.71, p= 0.01/ HR; 0.28, 95% CI: 0.16-0.47, p<0.001). While complex CG (HR; 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01-2.40, p= 0.04) retained unfavorable significance for OS. Our analysis suggests that unlike in MDS, multihit TP53MT is less relevant in independently predicting outcomes in patients with AML.

RESUMO

The FLT3 inhibitor quizartinib has been shown to improve overall survival when added to intensive induction chemotherapy ("7 + 3") in patients 18-75 years old with newly diagnosed AML harboring a FLT3-ITD mutation. However, the health economic implications of this approval are unknown. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of quizartinib using a partitioned survival analysis model. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. In the base case scenario, the addition of quizartinib to 7 + 3 resulted in incremental costs of $289,932 compared with 7 + 3 alone. With an incremental gain of 0.84 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) with quizartinib + 7 + 3 induction vs. 7 + 3 alone, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for the addition of quizartinib to standard 7 + 3 was $344,039/QALY. Only an 87% reduction in the average wholesale price of quizartinib or omitting quizartinib continuation therapy after completion of consolidation therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant would make quizartinib a cost-effective option.

RESUMO

The clinical impact of molecular ontogeny in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was defined in patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. In a cohort of 314 newly diagnosed AML patients, we evaluated whether molecular ontogeny subgroups have differential benefit of venetoclax (VEN) added to hypomethylating agents (HMA). In secondary ontogeny (n = 115), median overall survival (OS)(14.1 vs. 6.9 months, P = 0.0054), composite complete remission (cCR 61% vs. 18%, P < 0.001) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) (24% vs. 6%, P = 0.02) rates were better in patients treated with HMA + VEN vs. HMA. In contrast, in TP53 AML(n = 111) median OS (5.7 vs. 6.1, P = 0.93), cCR (33% vs. 37%, P = 0.82) and alloHCT rates (15% vs. 8%, P = 0.38) did not differ between HMA + VEN vs. HMA. The benefit of VEN addition in the secondary group was preserved after adjustment for significant clinicopathologic variables (HR 0.59 [95% CI 0.38-0.94], P = 0.025). The OS benefit of HMA + VEN in secondary ontogeny was similar in those with vs. without splicing mutations (P = 0.92). Secondary ontogeny AML highlights a group of patients whose disease is selectively responsive to VEN added to HMA and that the addition of VEN has no clinical benefit in TP53-mutated AML.

RESUMO

Molecularly defined secondary acute myeloid leukemia is associated with a prior myeloid neoplasm and confers a worse prognosis. We compared outcomes of molecularly defined secondary AML patients (n = 395) treated with daunorubicin and cytarabine (7 + 3, n = 167), liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351, n = 66) or hypomethylating agents (HMA) + venetoclax (VEN) (n = 162). Median overall survival (OS) was comparable between treatment groups among patients aged >60 years. In a multivariable model HMA + VEN vs. 7 + 3 was associated with better OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42-0.98, p = 0.041]), whereas CPX-351 vs. 7 + 3 was not (HR 0.79 [CI 95% 0.50-1.25, p = 0.31]). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, BCOR and IDH mutations were associated with improved OS; older age, prior myeloid disease, NRAS/KRAS mutations, EZH2 mutation, and monosomal karyotype were associated with worse OS. When analyzed in each treatment separately, the IDH co-mutations benefit was seen with 7 + 3 and the detrimental effect of NRAS/KRAS co-mutations with HMA + VEN and CPX-351. In pairwise comparisons adjusted for age, HMA + VEN was associated with improved OS vs. 7 + 3 in patients with SF3B1 mutation and improved OS vs. CPX-351 in those with RNA splicing factor mutations. In molecularly defined secondary AML treatment with HMA + VEN might be preferred but could further be guided by co-mutations.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: CD123, a subunit of the interleukin-3 receptor, is expressed on ∼80% of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs). Tagraxofusp (TAG), recombinant interleukin-3 fused to a truncated diphtheria toxin payload, is a first-in-class drug targeting CD123 approved for treatment of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. We previously found that AMLs with acquired resistance to TAG were re-sensitized by the DNA hypomethylating agent azacitidine (AZA) and that TAG-exposed cells became more dependent on the antiapoptotic molecule BCL-2. Here, we report a phase 1b study in 56 adults with CD123-positive AML or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), first combining TAG with AZA in AML/MDS, and subsequently TAG, AZA, and the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) in AML. Adverse events with 3-day TAG dosing were as expected, without indication of increased toxicity of TAG or AZA+/-VEN in combination. The recommended phase 2 dose of TAG was 12 µg/kg/day for 3 days, with 7-day AZA +/- 21-day VEN. In an expansion cohort of 26 patients (median age 71) with previously untreated European LeukemiaNet adverse-risk AML (50% TP53 mutated), triplet TAG-AZA-VEN induced response in 69% (n=18/26; 39% complete remission [CR], 19% complete remission with incomplete count recovery [CRi], 12% morphologic leukemia-free state [MLFS]). Among 13 patients with TP53 mutations, 7/13 (54%) achieved CR/CRi/MLFS (CR = 4, CRi = 2, MLFS = 1). Twelve of 17 (71%) tested responders had no flow measurable residual disease. Median overall survival and progression-free survival were 14 months (95% CI, 9.5-NA) and 8.5 months (95% CI, 5.1-NA), respectively. In summary, TAG-AZA-VEN shows encouraging safety and activity in high-risk AML, including TP53-mutated disease, supporting further clinical development of TAG combinations. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT03113643.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The classification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has long been overseen by the World Health Organization (WHO) and published into a series of "Blue Books." These ledgers serve as the reference manual for AML classification and, in turn, classification-based treatment decisions. In 2022, two separate groups, each of which included hematologic oncologists, hematopathologists, and geneticists - developed and published two parallel classification systems for AML. One is from the WHO (WHO 5th edition), and a second is from an International Advisory Consortium (International Consortium Classification [ICC]). SUMMARY: Both modern classification systems originated from the revised 4th edition of the WHO Blue Books and thus share many similarities. There are never-the-less several important differences with the potential to substantially alter disease classification, access to clinical trials, and treatment decision-making. In this manuscript, we review the organization of the WHO and ICC classification systems for AML with emphasis on their similarities and differences, followed by areas in which their application to clinical scenarios may present difficulties. KEY MESSAGES: (1) The ICC and WHO 5th edition are concordant for the majority of AMLs. (2) Key differences between AML classification by the ICC and WHO 5th edition include (a) the overall framework of classification, (b) AML-defining blast threshold, definition of myelodysplasia-related AML, and (c) strategy for assigning therapy-related or germline-associated AML modifiers.

RESUMO

Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic cancers characterized by recurrent molecular alterations driving the disease pathogenesis with a variable propensity for progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical decision making for MDS relies on appropriate risk stratification at diagnosis, with higher-risk patients requiring more intensive therapy. The conventional clinical prognostic systems including the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) and its revised version (IPSS-R) have dominated the risk stratification of MDS from 1997 until 2022. Concurrently, the use of next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the field by revealing multiple recurrent genetic mutations, which correlate with phenotype and prognosis. Significant efforts have been made to formally incorporate molecular data into prognostic tools to improve proper risk identification and personalize treatment strategies. In this review, we will critically compare the available molecular scoring systems for MDS focusing on areas of progress and potential limitations that can be improved in subsequent revisions of these tools.

RESUMO

The guidelines for classification, prognostication, and response assessment of myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) have all recently been updated. In this report on behalf of the International Consortium for MDS (icMDS) we summarize these developments. We first critically examine the updated World Health Organization (WHO) classification and the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of MDS. We then compare traditional and molecularly based risk MDS risk assessment tools. Lastly, we discuss limitations of criteria in measuring therapeutic benefit and highlight how the International Working Group (IWG) 2018 and 2023 response criteria addressed these deficiencies and are endorsed by the icMDS. We also address the importance of patient centered care by discussing the value of quality-of-life assessment. We hope that the reader of this review will have a better understanding of how to classify MDS, predict clinical outcomes and evaluate therapeutic outcomes.

RESUMO

In recent years, the therapeutic landscape of myeloid malignancies has been completely revolutionized by the introduction of several new drugs, targeting molecular alterations or pathways crucial for leukemia cells survival. Particularly, many agents targeting apoptosis have been investigated in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. For instance, venetoclax, a pro-apoptotic agent active on BCL-2 signaling, has been successfully used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The impressive results achieved in this context have made the apoptotic pathway an attractive target also in other myeloid neoplasms, translating the experience of AML. Therefore, several drugs are now under investigation either as single or in combination strategies, due to their synergistic efficacy and capacity to overcome resistance. In this paper, we will review the mechanisms of apoptosis and the specific drugs currently used and under investigation for the treatment of myeloid neoplasia, identifying critical research necessities for the upcoming years.

RESUMO

The existence of two acute myeloid leukaemia classification systems-one put forth by WHO and one by the International Consensus Classification in 2022-is concerning. Although both systems appropriately move towards genomic disease definitions and reduced emphasis on blast enumeration, there are consequential disagreements between the two systems on what constitutes a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia. This fundamental problem threatens the ability of heath-care providers to diagnose acute myeloid leukaemia, communicate with patients and other health-care providers, and deliver appropriate and consistent management strategies for patients with the condition. Clinical trial eligibility, standardised response assessments, and eventual drug development and regulatory pathways might also be negatively affected by the discrepancies. In this Viewpoint, we review the merits and limitations of both classification systems and illustrate how the coexistence, as well as application of both systems is an undue challenge to patients, clinicians, hematopathologists, sponsors of research, and regulators. Lastly, we emphasise the urgency and propose a roadmap, by which the two divergent classification systems can be harmonised.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Anthracycline-related left ventricular dysfunction (ARLVD) is a concern in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing anthracyclinecontaining induction chemotherapy. However, the incidence of ARLVD in the modern era of routine pretreatment left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) echocardiographic assessment, as well as the clinical and genetic predictors of ARLVD are not well understood. METHODS: Consecutive adult patients with AML receiving anthracycline-containing induction chemotherapy at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from 2014 to 2022 were studied. Inclusion criteria included availability of a pre and post chemotherapy echocardiogram to assess the LVEF, pre-treatment LVEF > 50 %, as well as comprehensive diagnostic next generation sequencing assessing for the presence of myeloid mutations. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ARLVD defined as LVEF < 50 % post-induction. RESULTS: Out of 419 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 34 (8%) patients developed ARLVD. Among the 122/419 patients who did not undergo planned allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), ARLVD was the deciding factor for ineligibility in 4 patients (1%). Baseline cardiovascular comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking and coronary artery disease) and cumulative anthracycline dose were not predictive of post-induction ARLVD. However, the presence of a JAK2 mutation (but not other myeloid mutations) was associated with an increased risk of ARLVD in multivariable analysis (OR 8.34, 95 % CI 1.55-39.3, p = 0.007). DISCUSSION: In a group of AML patients with normal LVEF prior to anthracycline-containing induction chemotherapy, ARLVD was infrequent and did not commonly preclude post-remission allo-SCT consolidation. Genetic predictors of ARLVD require further investigation in a larger patient cohort.
