RESUMO
The evaluation of measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using comprehensive mutation analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been investigated in several studies. However controversial results exist regarding the detection of persisting mutations in DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 (DTA). Benchmarking of NGS-MRD taking into account other molecular MRD strategies has to be done. Here, we performed error-corrected-NGS-MRD in 189 patients homogeneously treated in the ALFA-0702 study (NCT00932412). Persistence of non-DTA mutations (HR = 2.23 for RFS and 2.26 for OS), and DTA mutations (HR = 2.16 for OS) were associated with poorer prognosis in multivariate analysis. Persistence of at least two mutations in complete remission (CR) was associated with a higher cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) (HR = 3.71, p < 0.0001), lower RFS (HR = 3.36, p < 0.0001) and OS (HR = 3.81, p = 0.00023) whereas persistence of only one mutation was not. In 100 analyzable patients, WT1-MRD, but not NGS-MRD, was an independent factor for RFS and OS. In the subset of 67 NPM1 mutated patients, both NPM1 mutation detection (p = 0.0059) and NGS-MRD (p = 0.035) status were associated with CIR. We conclude that detectable NGS-MRD including DTA mutations correlates with unfavorable prognosis in AML. Its integration with alternative MRD strategies in AML management warrants further investigations.

Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC) and bispecific antibodies are booming and were the subject of the scientific event proposed by the French Society of Oncological Pharmacy, October 13, 2022. An ADC is composed of the antibody targeting a receptor expressed on the tumor cell, the spacer making it possible to attach the cytotoxic to the antibody and to control its distribution in the body, and the cytotoxic. Therapeutic antibodies, monoclonal and conjugated, have particular pharmacokinetics. Unlike monoclonal antibodies for which the standard dose is most often fixed, this is expressed in mg/m2 (or mg/kg) and capped at 2m2 (or 100kg) for conjugates. The linked cytotoxics are powerful cytotoxics: mitotic spindle poisons (emtansine, monomethyl auristatin E or vedotin), topoisomerase I inhibitors (deruxtecan, SN 38) or antibiotics (ozogamicin). In senology, trastuzumab deruxtecan (anti-HER2) and sacituzumab govitecan (anti-Trop 2) are now modifying treatment standards for patients with metastatic breast cancer, respectively HER2 3X or HER2 low and triple negative. In metastatic bladder cancer, enfortumab vedotin (anti-nectin 4) is positioned as the 2nd line of treatment. Bispecific antibodies, on the other hand, are able to target two epitopes, an antigen specific to a tumor cell and one to an immune cell, allowing a bridge between the killer immune cells and the tumor cells. For lymphoma proliferation, many bispecific antibodies are in development. The most advanced are glofitamab, epcoritamab and mosunetuzumab, which target the CD20 of B lymphocytes and the CD3 of T lymphocytes. Bispecific antibodies are also emerging in the treatment of myeloma with teclistamab and elranatamab (anti-CD3 and anti-BCMA) or talquetamab (anti-GPRC5D and anti-CD3). Conjugated antibodies, and more recently bispecific antibodies, are potential game changers in cancer treatment and researchs are needed to improve their efficacy and safety.

Whether the LSC17 gene expression can improve risk stratification in the context of next generation sequencing-based risk stratification and measurable residual disease (MRD) in patients with intensively treated AML has not been explored. We analyzed LSC17 in 504 adult patients prospectively treated in the ALFA-0702 trial. RUNX1 or TP53 mutations were associated with higher LSC1 scores while CEBPA and NPM1 mutations were associated with lower scores. Patients with high LSC17 scores had a lower rate of complete response (CR) in a multivariable analysis (odds ratio, 0.41; P = .0007), accounting for European LeukemiaNet 2022 (ELN22), age, and white blood cell count (WBC). LSC17-high status was associated with shorter overall survival (OS) (3-year OS: 70.0% vs 52.7% in patients with LSC17-low status; P < .0001). In a multivariable analysis considering ELN22, age, and WBC, patients with LSC17-high status had shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36; P = .048) than those with LSC17-low status. In 123 patients with NPM1-mutated AML in CR, LSC17-high status predicted poorer DFS (HR, 2.34; P = .01), independent of age, WBC, ELN22 risk, and NPM1-MRD. LSC-low status and negative NPM1-MRD identified a subset comprising 48% of patients with mutated NPM1 with a 3-year OS from CR of 93.1% compared with 60.7% in those with LSC17-high status and/or positive NPM1-MRD (P = .0001). Overall, LSC17 assessment refines genetic risk stratification in adult patients with AML treated intensively. Combined with MRD, LSC17 identifies a subset of patients with NPM1-mutated AML with excellent clinical outcome.

Tandem duplications (TDs) of the UBTF gene have been recently described as a recurrent alteration in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, by screening 1946 newly diagnosed adult AML, we found that UBTF-TDs occur in about 3% of patients aged 18-60 years, in a mutually exclusive pattern with other known AML subtype-defining alterations. The characteristics of 59 adults with UBTF-TD AML included young age (median 37 years), low bone marrow (BM) blast infiltration (median 25%), and high rates of WT1 mutations (61%), FLT3-ITDs (51%) and trisomy 8 (29%). BM morphology frequently demonstrates dysmyelopoiesis albeit modulated by the co-occurrence of FLT3-ITD. UBTF-TD patients have lower complete remission (CR) rates (57% after 1 course and 76% after 2 courses of intensive chemotherapy [ICT]) than UBTF-wild-type patients. In patients enrolled in the ALFA-0702 study (n = 614 patients including 21 with UBTF-TD AML), the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival of UBTF-TD patients were 42.9% (95%CI: 23.4-78.5%) and 57.1% (95%CI: 39.5-82.8%) and did not significantly differ from those of ELN 2022 intermediate/adverse risk patients. Finally, the study of paired diagnosis and relapsed/refractory AML samples suggests that WT1-mutated clones are frequently selected under ICT. This study supports the recognition of UBTF-TD AML as a new AML entity in adults.

The real-world efficacy and safety of gilteritinib was assessed in an ambispective study that included 167 R/R FLT3-mutated AML patients. Among them, 140 received gilteritinib as single agent (cohort B), including 67 previously treated by intensive chemotherapy and midostaurin (cohort C). The main differences in patient characteristics in this study compared to the ADMIRAL trial were ECOG ≥ 2 (83.6% vs. 16.6%), FLT3-TKD mutation (21.0% vs. 8.5%), primary induction failure (15.0% vs. 40.0%) and line of treatment (beyond 2nd in 37.1% vs. 0.0%). The rates of composite complete remission, excluding those that occurred after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), were similar at respectively 25.4% and 27.5% in cohorts B and C. Median overall survival (OS) for these two groups was also similar at respectively 6.4 and 7.8 months. Multivariate analyses for prognostic factors associated with OS identified female gender (HR 1.61), adverse cytogenetic risk (HR 2.52), and allogenic HSCT after gilteritinib (HR 0.13). Although these patients were more heavily pretreated, these real-world data reproduce the results of ADMIRAL and provide new insights into the course of patients previously treated by intensive chemotherapy and midostaurin and beyond the 2nd line of treatment who can benefit from treatment in an outpatient setting.

DDX41 germline mutations (DDX41MutGL) are the most common genetic predisposition to myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent reports suggest that DDX41MutGL myeloid malignancies could be considered as a distinct entity, even if their specific presentation and outcome remain to be defined. We describe here the clinical and biological features of 191 patients with DDX41MutGL AML. Baseline characteristics and outcome of 86 of these patients, treated with intensive chemotherapy in 5 prospective Acute Leukemia French Association/French Innovative Leukemia Organization trials, were compared with those of 1604 patients with DDX41 wild-type (DDX41WT) AML, representing a prevalence of 5%. Patients with DDX41MutGL AML were mostly male (75%), in their seventh decade, and with low leukocyte count (median, 2 × 109/L), low bone marrow blast infiltration (median, 33%), normal cytogenetics (75%), and few additional somatic mutations (median, 2). A second somatic DDX41 mutation (DDX41MutSom) was found in 82% of patients, and clonal architecture inference suggested that it could be the main driver for AML progression. DDX41MutGL patients displayed higher complete remission rates (94% vs 69%; P < .0001) and longer restricted mean overall survival censored at hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) than 2017 European LeukemiaNet intermediate/adverse (Int/Adv) DDX41WT patients (5-year difference in restricted mean survival times, 13.6 months; P < .001). Relapse rates censored at HSCT were lower at 1 year in DDX41MutGL patients (15% vs 44%) but later increased to be similar to Int/Adv DDX41WT patients at 3 years (82% vs 75%). HSCT in first complete remission was associated with prolonged relapse-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% confidence interval, 0.21-0.88; P = .02) but not with longer overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.35-1.68; P = .5).

The independent prognostic impact of specific dysplastic features in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains controversial and may vary between genomic subtypes. We apply a machine learning framework to dissect the relative contribution of centrally reviewed dysplastic features and oncogenetics in 190 patients with de novo AML treated in ALFA clinical trials. One hundred and thirty-five (71%) patients achieved complete response after the first induction course (CR). Dysgranulopoiesis, dyserythropoiesis and dysmegakaryopoiesis were assessable in 84%, 83% and 63% patients, respectively. Multi-lineage dysplasia was present in 27% of assessable patients. Micromegakaryocytes (q = 0.01), hypolobulated megakaryocytes (q = 0.08) and hyposegmented granulocytes (q = 0.08) were associated with higher ELN-2017 risk. Using a supervised learning algorithm, the relative importance of morphological variables (34%) for the prediction of CR was higher than demographic (5%), clinical (2%), cytogenetic (25%), molecular (29%), and treatment (5%) variables. Though dysplasias had limited predictive impact on survival, a multivariate logistic regression identified the presence of hypolobulated megakaryocytes (p = 0.014) and micromegakaryocytes (p = 0.035) as predicting lower CR rates, independently of monosomy 7 (p = 0.013), TP53 (p = 0.004), and NPM1 mutations (p = 0.025). Assessment of these specific dysmegakarypoiesis traits, for which we identify a transcriptomic signature, may thus guide treatment allocation in AML.

WT1 overexpression is frequently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and has been reported to be a potential marker for monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD). We evaluated the use of postinduction WT1 MRD level as a prognostic factor, as well as the interaction between postinduction WT1 MRD response and the effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in the first complete remission (CR). In the ALFA-0702 trial, patients with AML, aged 18 to 59, had a prospective quantification of WT1 MRD. The occurrence of a WT1 MRD ratio >2.5% in bone marrow or >0.5% in peripheral blood was defined as MRDhigh, and ratios below these thresholds were defined as MRDlow. The prognostic value of MRD after induction chemotherapy was assessed in 314 patients in first CR by comparing the risk of relapse, the relapse-free survival (RFS), and the overall survival (OS). Interaction between MRD response and the allo-SCT effect was evaluated in patients by comparing the influence of allo-SCT on the outcomes of patients with MRDhigh with those with MRDlow. The results showed that patients with MRDhigh after induction had a higher risk of relapse and a shorter RFS and OS. The MRD response remained of strong prognostic value in the subset of 225 patients with intermediate-/unfavorable-risk AML who were eligible for allo-SCT, because patients with MRDhigh had a significantly higher risk of relapse resulting in worse RFS and OS. The effect of allo-SCT was higher in patients with MRDlow than in those with MRDhigh, but not significantly different. The early WT1 MRD response highlights a population of high-risk patients in need of additional therapy.

In patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated by intensive chemotherapy (IC), prognostic significance of co-occurring genetic alterations and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are of particular interest with the advent of IDH1/2 mutant inhibitors. We retrospectively analyzed 319 patients with newly diagnosed AML (127 with IDH1, 135 with IDH2R140, and 57 with IDH2R172 mutations) treated with IC in 3 Acute Leukemia French Association prospective trials. In each IDH subgroup, we analyzed the prognostic impact of clinical and genetic covariates, and the role of HSCT. In patients with IDH1 mutations, the presence of NPM1 mutations was the only variable predicting improved overall survival (OS) in multivariate analysis (P < .0001). In IDH2R140-mutated AML, normal karyotype (P = .008) and NPM1 mutations (P = .01) predicted better OS. NPM1 mutations were associated with better disease-free survival (DFS; P = .0009), whereas the presence of DNMT3A mutations was associated with shorter DFS (P = .0006). In IDH2R172-mutated AML, platelet count was the only variable retained in the multivariate model for OS (P = .002). Among nonfavorable European LeukemiaNet 2010-eligible patients, 71 (36%) underwent HSCT in first complete remission (CR1) and had longer OS (P = .03) and DFS (P = .02) than nontransplanted patients. Future clinical trials testing frontline IDH inhibitors combined with IC may consider stratification on NPM1 mutational status, the primary prognostic factor in IDH1- or IDH2R140-mutated AML. HSCT improve OS of nonfavorable IDH1/2-mutated AML and should be fully integrated into the treatment strategy.

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a non-BCR-ABL myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with poor outcomes. Current treatment has little effect on the natural history of the disease. MF results from complex interactions between (a) the malignant clone, (b) an inflammatory context, and (c) remodeling of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. Each of these points is a potential target of PPARγ activation. Here, we demonstrated the therapeutic potential of PPARγ agonists in resolving MF in 3 mouse models. We showed that PPARγ agonists reduce myeloproliferation, modulate inflammation, and protect the BM stroma in vitro and ex vivo. Activation of PPARγ constitutes a relevant therapeutic target in MF, and our data support the possibility of using PPARγ agonists in clinical practice.

The phase 3 ALFA-0701 trial demonstrated improved outcomes with fractionated-dose gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) combined with standard chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy alone in adults with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We examined post-transplant outcomes and occurrence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) in patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as follow-up therapy in ALFA-0701. Patients aged 50-70 years were randomized to standard chemotherapy with or without GO (3 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, and 7 of induction and day 1 on each of two consolidation courses). Allogeneic HSCT was recommended for patients in first complete remission with matched (related or unrelated) donor, except those with core-binding factor AML or normal karyotype and either NPM1+/FLT3-ITDwt or CEBPA+ AML. Eighty-five patients (GO: n = 32; control: n = 53) received HSCT in first complete remission or after relapse/primary induction failure. Three patients (GO: n = 2; control: n = 1 [received GO as follow-up therapy]) developed VOD/SOS after HSCT or conditioning. Post-transplant survival, non-relapse mortality, and relapse were not different between arms. Results indicate fractionated-dose GO as part of induction and consolidation chemotherapy for AML does not induce excess post-transplant VOD/SOS or mortality and thus does not preclude the use of HSCT as consolidation treatment.

A multistage model instructed by a large dataset (knowledge bank [KB] algorithm) has recently been developed to improve outcome predictions and tailor therapeutic decisions, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We assessed the performance of the KB in guiding HSCT decisions in first complete remission (CR1) in 656 AML patients younger than 60 years from the ALFA-0702 trial (NCT00932412). KB predictions of overall survival (OS) were superior to those of European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 risk stratification (C-index, 68.9 vs 63.0). Among patients reaching CR1, HSCT in CR1, as a time-dependent covariate, was detrimental in those with favorable ELN 2017 risk and those with negative NPM1 minimal residual disease (MRD; interaction tests, P = .01 and P = .02, respectively). Using KB simulations of survival at 5 years in a scenario without HSCT in CR1 (KB score), we identified, in a similar time-dependent analysis, a significant interaction between KB score and HSCT, with HSCT in CR1 being detrimental only in patients with a good prognosis based on KB simulations (KB score ≥40; interaction test, P = .01). We could finally integrate ELN 2017, NPM1 MRD, and KB scores to sort 545 CR1 patients into 278 (51.0%) HSCT candidates and 267 (49.0%) chemotherapy-only candidates. In both time-dependent and 6-month landmark analyses, HSCT significantly improved OS in HSCT candidates, whereas it significantly shortened OS in chemotherapy-only candidates. Integrating KB predictions with ELN 2017 and MRD may thus represent a promising approach to optimize HSCT timing in younger AML patients.

Advances in transcriptomics have improved our understanding of leukemic development and helped to enhance the stratification of patients. The tendency of transcriptomic studies to combine AML samples, regardless of cytogenetic abnormalities, could lead to bias in differential gene expression analysis because of the differential representation of AML subgroups. Hence, we performed a horizontal meta-analysis that integrated transcriptomic data on AML from multiple studies, to enrich the less frequent cytogenetic subgroups and to uncover common genes involved in the development of AML and response to therapy. A total of 28 Affymetrix microarray data sets containing 3940 AML samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. After stringent quality control, transcriptomic data on 1534 samples from 11 data sets, covering 10 AML cytogenetically defined subgroups, were retained and merged with the data on 198 healthy bone marrow samples. Differentially expressed genes between each cytogenetic subgroup and normal samples were extracted, enabling the unbiased identification of 330 commonly deregulated genes (CODEGs), which showed enriched profiles of myeloid differentiation, leukemic stem cell status, and relapse. Most of these genes were downregulated, in accordance with DNA hypermethylation. CODEGs were then used to create a prognostic score based on the weighted sum of expression of 22 core genes (CODEG22). The score was validated with microarray data of 5 independent cohorts and by quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction in a cohort of 142 samples. CODEG22-based stratification of patients, globally and into subpopulations of cytologically healthy and elderly individuals, may complement the European LeukemiaNet classification, for a more accurate prediction of AML outcomes.

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO, Mylotarg®) consists of a humanized CD33-targeted antibody-drug conjugated to a calicheamicin derivative. Growing evidence of GO efficacy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), demonstrated by improved outcomes in CD33-positive AML patients across phase I to III clinical trials, led to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on 1 September 2017 in CD33-positive AML patients aged 2 years and older. Discrepancies in GO recipients outcome have raised significant efforts to characterize biomarkers predictive of GO response and have refined the subset of patients that may strongly benefit from GO. Among them, CD33 expression levels, favorable cytogenetics (t(8;21), inv(16)/t(16;16), t(15;17)) and molecular alterations, such as NPM1, FLT3-internal tandem duplications and other signaling mutations, represent well-known candidates. Additionally, in depth analyses including minimal residual disease monitoring, stemness expression (LSC17 score), mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms in GO pathway genes (CD33, ABCB1) and molecular-derived scores, such as the recently set up CD33_PGx6_Score, represent promising markers to enhance GO response prediction and improve patient management.

In this study, we aimed to refine prognostication of older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after intensive chemotherapy. Five hundred and nine patients aged 60 years or older (median age, 68 years) were prospectively enrolled in the intensive Acute Leukemia French Association (ALFA)-1200 trial between 2012 and 2016, and 471 patient samples were submitted to multigene analysis. Mutations in any of 8 genes frequently altered in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), including ASXL1, SRSF2, STAG2, BCOR, U2AF1, EZH2, SF3B1, and ZRSR2, defined a secondary AML (sAML)-like disease, as reported. Of the samples analyzed, 48% included sAML-like gene mutations. These mutations were associated with a shorter event-free survival, both overall (hazard ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-1.79; P < .001) and within the European LeukemiaNet (ELN)-2017 intermediate-risk subgroup (hazard ratio, 1.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-2.28; P = .044), which excludes ASXL1-mutated cases by definition. We therefore included patients with intermediate-risk AML carrying sAML-like mutations in a single high-risk patients group together with adverse-risk patients with AML, whereas other intermediate-risk patients were included in a standard-risk group together with favorable-risk patients (high-risk/standard-risk patient ratio, 1.00). Using this 2-class risk assessment, we observed that transplantation prolonged overall survival from remission in patients with high-risk AML only, not in patients with standard-risk AML. Routine analysis of sAML-like gene mutations may thus improve the definition of high-risk older patients with AML, and better identify the half of older patients who clearly derive survival benefit from allogeneic transplantation in first remission. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01966497.
