INTRODUCTION: The historical standard of care for Ph+ ALL is chemotherapy plus a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Recently chemotherapy-free regimens have shown promising efficacy. We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of chemotherapy-free regimens for Ph+ ALL. METHODS: We searched PubMed and Embase for chemotherapy-free regimens for Ph+ ALL published between January 2000 and October 2023. Of the 5,348 articles screened, 9 nonrandomized clinical trials enrolling 413 patients were included. Two trials (N = 117) included treatment with 3 agents (blinatumomab, TKI, and steroid) and 7 trials (N = 248) included treatment with 2 agents (TKI and steroids). R software was used to conduct the meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration no. CRD42023482439). RESULTS: The pooled complete molecular response (CMR) rate of patients receiving a TKI, blinatumomab, and steroids was 81% (95%CI, 69%-89%). TKIs plus blinatumomab were nearly 6 times as likely to have CMR (odds ratio [OR], 5.98; 95%CI, 2.99-11.96) and more than 5 times as likely to be alive at 1-year (OR, 5.1; 95%CI, 1.74-14.9) as compared to TKIs alone. Patients receiving ponatinib were about twice as likely as those receiving dasatinib to achieve CMR (OR, 2.51; 95%CI, 0.72-8.72). CONCLUSION: Adding blinatumomab to TKIs and steroids significantly improved Ph+ ALL patients' response and survival rates. Regimens with ponatinib elicited higher molecular response rates than those with other TKIs. The high response and survival rates achieved with blinatumomab plus TKIs and steroids suggest that further studies are required to assess the need for intensive treatments such as chemotherapy or stem cell transplant in these patients.
RESUMO
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.In this analysis, we update our experience with the chemotherapy-free regimen of blinatumomab and ponatinib in 60 patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive ALL. At a median follow-up of 24 months, the complete molecular response rate by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was 83% (67% at the end of course one), and the rate of measurable residual disease negativity by next-generation clono-sequencing was 98% (45% at the end of course one). Only two patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Seven patients relapsed: two with systemic disease, four with isolated CNS relapse, and one with extramedullary Ph-negative, CRLF2-positive pre-B ALL. The estimated 3-year overall survival rate was 91% and event-free survival rate was 77%. Three patients discontinued blinatumomab because of adverse events (related, n = 1; unrelated, n = 2) and nine discontinued ponatinib because of cerebrovascular ischemia, coronary artery stenosis, persistent rash, elevated liver function tests with drug-induced fatty liver, atrial thrombus, severe arterial occlusive disease of lower extremities, pleuro-pericardial effusion, and debilitation. In conclusion, the simultaneous combination of ponatinib and blinatumomab is a highly effective and relatively safe nonchemotherapy regimen. This regimen also reduces the need for intensive chemotherapy and HSCT in first remission in the majority of patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: AML presenting with hyperleukocytosis is associated with poor outcomes. We aim to understand the factors associated with early mortality and overall survival (OS) to help guide management and improve early mortality. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data from 129 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed AML and a WBC count ≥100 × 109/L between January 2010 and April 2020. Logistic regression models estimated odds ratios for 4-week mortality. Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios for OS. RESULTS: The median age was 65 years (range, 23-86); the median WBC was 146 × 109/L (range, 100-687). Seventy-five (58%) patients had clinical leukostasis (CL). FLT3, NPM1, and RAS pathway mutations were detected in 63%, 45%, and 27% of patients, respectively. Cytoreduction consisted of hydroxyurea in 124 (96%) patients, cytarabine in 69 (54%), and leukapheresis in 31 (24%). The cumulative 4-week and 8-week mortality rates were 9% and 13%, respectively, all in patients age 65 years and older. By multivariate analysis, older age, CL, and thrombocytopenia <40 × 109/L were independently associated with a higher 4-week mortality rate. After a median follow-up of 49.4 months, the median OS was 14.3 months (95% CI, 7 to 21.6), with 4-year OS of 29%. Age 65 years and older, CL, tumor lysis syndrome, elevated LDH ≥2,000 U/L, elevated lactate ≥2.2 mmol/L, and poor-risk cytogenetics were independent factors associated with worse OS. CONCLUSION: Hyperleukocytosis is a life-threatening hematologic emergency. Early recognition and intervention including cytoreduction, blood product support, antibiotics, and renal replacement therapy may help mitigate the risk of morbidity and early mortality.
RESUMO
Blinatumomab and inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) are both active in relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and improve outcomes compared with conventional chemotherapy in this setting. Several prospective clinical trials have explored the use of these agents in adults with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL, with promising outcomes observed in younger and older adults and in both Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive and Ph-negative ALL. These novel regimens result in high rates of deep measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity and may improve survival compared with chemotherapy-only approaches, allowing for less reliance on intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This review discusses novel approaches to integrating INO and/or blinatumomab into frontline ALL regimens, including the potential role of chemotherapy-free regimens in some subgroups. The role of MRD monitoring is also discussed, including how this can inform decisions for consolidative allogeneic HSCT or investigational approaches with CD19 CAR T-cells.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: NPM1-mutated (NPM1mut) myeloid neoplasms (MNs) with <20% bone marrow (BM) blasts (NPM1mut MNs<20) are uncommon, and their classification remains inconsistent. METHODS: The clinicopathologic features of 54 patients with NPM1mut MNs <20 were evaluated and compared with wild-type NPM1 MNs <20 and NPM1mut MNs≥20, respectively. RESULTS: NPM1mut MNs had similar features regardless of blast percentage, except for higher IDH2 (29% vs 7%, p = .023) and FLT3 (70% vs 11%, p < .001) frequency in patients with ≥20% BM blasts. Thirty-three (61%) patients with NPM1mut MNs <20 received low-intensity chemotherapy (LIC) and 12 (22%) received intensive chemotherapy (IC). Higher complete remission rates (75% vs 27%, p = .006) and median overall survival (mOS) (not reached vs 30.4 months, p = .06) were observed with IC compared to LIC. Young patients (age <60 years) did not reach mOS either when treated with LIC or IC. Stem cell transplant was associated with increased survival only in patients treated with LIC (HR, 0.24; p = .025). No differences in mOS were observed by BM blast strata (32.2 months, not reached and 46.9 months for <10%, 10%-19%, and ≥20% blasts, p = .700) regardless of treatment modality (LIC: p = .900; IC: p = .360). Twenty-three patients (43%) with NPM1mut MNs <20 had marrow blast progression to ≥20%. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, NPM1mut MNs define a unique entity independent of BM blast percentage.
RESUMO
Patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (rAML) experience dismal outcomes. We performed a comprehensive analysis of patients with rAML to determine the genetic dynamics and survival predictive factors. We analyzed 875 patients with newly diagnosed AML who received intensive treatment (IT) or low-intensity treatment (LIT). Of these patients, 197 experienced subsequent rAML. Data was available for 164 patients, with a median time from CR/CRi to relapse of 6.5 months. Thirty-five of the 164 patients (21%) experienced relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). At relapse mutations in genes involved in pathway signaling tended to disappear, whereas clonal hematopoiesis-related mutations or TP53 tended to persist. Patients with normal karyotypes tended to acquire cytogenetic abnormalities at relapse. Patients treated with IT had a higher emergence rate of TP53 mutations (16%), compared to patients treated with LIT (1%, P = 0.009). The overall response rates were 38% and 35% for patients treated with salvage IT or LIT, respectively. Seventeen patients (10%) underwent alloSCT after salvage therapy. The median overall survival (OS) duration after relapse was 5.3 months, with a 1-year OS rate of 17.6%. Complex karyotype (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.14, P < 0.001), a KMT2A rearrangement (HR = 3.52, P = 0.011), time in remission < 12 months (HR = 1.71, P = 0.011), and an elevated white blood cell count at relapse (HR = 2.38, P = 0.005) were independent risk factors for OS duration. More effective frontline and maintenance therapies are warranted to prevent rAML.
RESUMO
The treatment landscape of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is evolving rapidly. Venetoclax in combination with intensive chemotherapy or doublets or triplets with targeted or immune therapies is the focus of numerous ongoing trials. The development of mutation-targeted therapies has greatly enhanced the treatment armamentarium, with FLT3 inhibitors and isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibitors improving outcomes in frontline and relapsed/refractory (RR) AML, and menin inhibitors showing efficacy in RR NPM1mut and KMT2A-rearranged AML. With so many new drugs approved, the number of potential combinatorial approaches to leverage the maximal benefit of these agents has increased dramatically, while at the same time introducing clinical challenges, such as key preclinical and clinical data supporting the development of combinatorial therapy, how to optimally combine or sequence these novel agents, how to optimise dose and duration to maintain safety while enhancing efficacy, the optimal duration of therapy and the role of measurable residual disease in decision-making in both intensive and low-intensity therapy settings. In this review, we will outline the evidence leading to the approval of key agents in AML, their on-label current approvals and how they may be optimally combined in a safe and deliverable fashion to further improve outcomes in AML.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) is an anti-CD22 antibody-drug conjugate that was first evaluated in B-cell lymphomas but was subsequently shown to be highly effective in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). INO improved response rates and survival in a randomized study in adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL, leading to its regulatory approval in the United States in 2017. While the formal approval for INO is as monotherapy in relapsed/refractory ALL, subsequent studies with INO administered in combination with chemotherapy and/or blinatumomab both in the frontline and salvage settings have yielded promising results. In this review, we discuss the clinical development of INO in ALL, highlighting lessons learned from the initial clinical trials of INO, as well as the many ongoing studies that are seeking to expand the role of INO in ALL.

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) remains the best consolidative modality in most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Along with factors directly pertaining to SCT, pretransplantation disease control, performance status, and prior treatment-related complications are important factors that affect posttransplantation survival outcomes. METHODS: The authors compared the survival outcomes of patients ≥60 years of age treated on the phase 2 clinical trial of venetoclax (Ven) added to cladribine (CLAD) and low dose cytarabine (LDAC) alternating with azacitidine (CLAD/LDAC/Ven arm) (NCT03586609) who underwent allogeneic SCT in first remission to a retrospective cohort of patients ≥60 years of age who underwent SCT after intensive chemotherapy. Intensive chemotherapy was defined as the use of cytarabine >1 g/m2 and anthracyclines during induction/consolidation. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients at median age of 68 years in the CLAD/LDAC/Ven arm were compared to 42 patients at a median age of 62 years in the intensive therapy arm. The 2-year relapse-free survival was superior with CLAD/LDAC/Ven versus intensive chemotherapy (88% vs. 65%; p = .03) whereas the 2-year overall survival (OS) was comparable (84% vs. 70%; p = .14). On a competing event analysis, the 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was significantly lower with CLAD/LDAC/Ven versus intensive chemotherapy (2.9% vs. 17.2%, Gray's p = .049) whereas nonrelapse mortality was comparable (16.2% vs. 17.1%; p = .486). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, treatment with CLAD/LDAC/Ven was associated with favorable outcomes in older patients who underwent subsequent allogeneic SCT. The OS was comparable to that with intensive chemotherapy followed by allogeneic SCT, but the CIR rate was significantly lower.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Ponatinib is a third-generation BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with robust activity in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias. Herein, we report the long-term follow-up of the phase 2 trial of ponatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. METHODS: Patients received ponatinib 30 to 45 mg/day. The primary end point was the rate of 6-month complete cytogenetic response (CCyR). The study was held in June 2014 because of the risk of cardiovascular toxicity, requiring patients to change TKI. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients were treated with ponatinib (median dose, 45 mg/day). Median age was 48 years (range, 21-75); 30 (59%) had baseline cardiovascular comorbidities. Median treatment duration was 13 months (range, 2-25). Fourteen patients (28%) discontinued ponatinib because of toxicities, 36 (71%) after the Food and Drug Administration warning/study closure, and one for noncompliance. Dasatinib was the most frequently chosen second-line TKI (n = 34; 66%). Among 46 patients evaluable at 6 months, 44 (96%) achieved CCyR, 37 (80%) major molecular response, 28 (61%) MR4, and 21 (46%) MR4.5. The cumulative 6-month rates of CCyR, major molecular response, MR4, and MR4.5 were 96%, 78%, 50%, and 36%, respectively. Durable MR4 ≥24 or ≥60 months was observed in 67% and 51% of patients, respectively. The 24-month event-free survival rate was 97%. After a median follow-up of 128 months, the 10-year overall survival rate was 90%. Eight patients (16%) had serious grade 2 to 3 cardiovascular adverse events, leading to permanent discontinuation in five (10%). CONCLUSION: Ponatinib yielded high cytogenetic and molecular responses in newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. Its use in the frontline setting is hindered by arterio-/vaso-occlusive and other severe toxicities.
RESUMO
We conducted a phase 1 study evaluating 3 dose levels of quizartinib (30â¯mg, 40â¯mg or 60â¯mg) in combination with azacitidine for HMA-naïve or relapsed/refractory MDS or MDS/MPN with FLT3 or CBL mutations. Overall, 12 patients (HMA naïve: n=9, HMA failure: n=3) were enrolled; 7 (58â¯%) patients had FLT3 mutations and 5 (42â¯%) had CBL mutations. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Most common grade 3-4 treatment-emergent adverse events were thrombocytopenia (n=5, 42â¯%), anemia (n=4, 33â¯%), lung infection (n=2, 17â¯%), skin infection (n=2, 17â¯%), hyponatremia (n=2, 17â¯%) and sepsis (n=2, 17â¯%). The overall response rate was 83â¯% with median relapse-free and overall survivals of 15.1 months (95â¯% CI 0.0-38.4 months) and 17.5 months (95â¯% CI NC-NC), respectively. FLT3 mutation clearance was observed in 57â¯% (n=4) patients. These data suggest quizartinib is safe and shows encouraging activity in FLT3-mutated MDS and MDS/MPN. This study is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04493138.

Ponatinib is a third-generation BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with high potency against Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive leukemias, including T315I-mutated disease, which is resistant to first- and second-generation TKIs. Ponatinib was approved for T315I-mutated chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), CML resistant/intolerant to ≥2 prior TKIs, advanced phase CML and Ph-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) where no other TKIs are indicated, and T315I-mutated CML and Ph-positive ALL. The response-based dosing of ponatinib in chronic phase CML (CP-CML) improved treatment tolerance and reduced the risk of toxicities, including cardiovascular risks. Ponatinib-based therapy also resulted in significantly better outcomes in frontline Ph-positive ALL compared with prior TKIs and is becoming a new standard of care in this setting. As the clinical development of third-generation TKIs and their rational combinations progresses, we envision further transformative changes in the treatment of CML and Ph-positive ALL.

STUDY AIMS: To evaluate the outcomes of patients with 3q26.2/MECOM-rearranged chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). METHODS: We reviewed consecutive adult patients with 3q26.2/MECOM-rearranged CML between January 1, 1998 and February 16, 2023. Rearrangements of 3q26.2/MECOM were confirmed by conventional cytogenetics, and fluorescence in situ hybridization starting in 2015. RESULTS: We identified 55 patients with MECOM-rearranged CML, including 23 in chronic phase (CP) or accelerated phase (AP) and 32 in blast phase (BP). Nine patients (16%) achieved a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) or deeper. At a median follow-up of 89 months, median survival was 14 months. The 5-year survival rate was 19% overall, 23% in CML-CP/AP, and 15% in CML-BP. In the 6-month landmark analysis, the 5-year survival rate was 41% for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) recipients versus 17% for non-recipients (P = 0.050). Multivariate analysis showed that the percentage of marrow blasts and achievement of MCyR or deeper could predict survival. CONCLUSION: Outcomes of 3q26.2/MECOM-rearranged CML are poor despite the availability of multiple BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Third-generation TKIs in combination with novel agents and possible allo-SCT could be considered given the poor outcomes and resistance to second-generation TKIs.

Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) can have a normal life expectancy when treated with the BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In recent years, treatment discontinuation and treatment-free remission (TFR) emerged as the new goal of therapy in patients with CML-CP. Deep and sustained molecular remissions for more than 3 to 5 years are associated with higher chances of a successful TFR. However, although uncommon, some patients may still experience molecular or hematological relapse after treatment discontinuation, even after a prolonged duration of remission. In this case series, we report the outcome of four patients with CML-CP who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and achieved a deep molecular response for ≥8 years, but eventually experienced disease relapse after treatment discontinuation. We discuss the importance of regular monitoring after treatment discontinuation as well as future strategies to increase the chances of TFR in patients with CML-CP.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The dual inhibition of the BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase and BCL-2 could potentially deepen the response rates of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of dasatinib and venetoclax. METHODS: In this phase 2 trial, patients with CML-CP or accelerated phase (clonal evolution) received dasatinib 50 mg/day for three courses; venetoclax was added in course 4 for 3 years. The initial venetoclax dose was 200 mg/day continuously but reduced later to 200 mg/day for 14 days, and to 100 mg/day for 7 days per course once a molecular response (MR)4.5 was achieved. After 3 years of combination, patients were maintained on single-agent dasatinib. The primary end point was the rate of major molecular response (MMR) by 12 months of combination. RESULTS: Sixty-five patients were treated. Their median age was 46 years (range, 23-73). By 12 months of combination, the MMR, MR4, and MR4.5 rates were 86%, 53%, and 45%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 42 months, the 4-year event-free and overall survival rates were 96% and 100%, respectively. Outcomes with the combination were comparable to historical outcomes with single-agent dasatinib (cumulative 12-months MMR rate of 79% with both strategies). The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia was 22% with the combination and 11% with single-agent dasatinib (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with dasatinib and venetoclax was safe and effective in CML-CP. The cumulative response rates with the combination were similar to those with single-agent dasatinib. Further follow-up is needed to evaluate the rates of durable deep molecular response and treatment-free remission.
