RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Inherited or acquired reticulate hyperpigmentation represents a heterogeneous group of infrequent dermatological conditions. The development of reticulate hyperpigmentation has so far been rarely reported to be associated with chemotherapeutic agents, including fluorouracil, bleomycin or a combination of cytarabine and idarubicin. CASE REPORTS: We describe 5 cases of chemotherapy-related reticulate hyperpigmentation in patients treated with different chemotherapeutic regimens, in particular paclitaxel or cytarabine. The lesions were similar in all cases, with reticulate and/or linear hyperpigmented streaks, which were mainly located to the back and buttocks. Histology showed increased melanogenesis, which suggests a direct toxic effect of chemotherapy on melanocytes. Reflectance confocal microscopy was performed in 2 patients showing a similar pattern, with an increased amount of melanin in basal keratinocytes. These features have been compared with the available data through a literature review. CONCLUSION: Reticulate hyperpigmentation is an underestimated but characteristic complication of chemotherapy. Neither specific management nor discontinuation of the chemotherapeutic regimen is required.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with myelodysplasia-related characteristics is a heterogeneous subset of AML that has been challenged throughout the history of myeloid malignancies classifications, considered to have similar outcomes as intermediate- or adverse-risk AML depending on the subgroup. However, little is known about the fate of these patients in refractory or relapsed situation (R/R) after first line therapy. METHODS: A large series of R/R AML patients, recorded in the French DATAML registry, have received either intensive chemotherapy (ICT), azacitidine (AZA) as single agent, or best supportive care (BSC). A cohort of 183 patients (median age 63-year-old) with what was called at the time AML-MRC has been explored, and data are reported here. RESULTS: Patient status was refractory for 93, while 90 had relapsed. Respectively, 88, 34, and 61 were included in the three treatment arms. The median OS of the whole cohort was 4.2 months (95%CI: 3.1-5.6) with a mean 1-year overall survival of 24% ± 3.2%. There was no significant survival difference between refractory and relapsed patients. The BSC group had overall a significantly worse outcome (p = 0.0001), and this remained true in both refractory (p = 0.01) and relapsed (p = 0.002) patients. Similar survivals were observed in both groups comparing ICT and AZA. CONCLUSIONS: These data, reporting about an ill-explored population, indicate the poor prognosis of this condition where both ICT and AZA can be proposed. The latter, which was demonstrated here to be a feasible option, should be added to new targeted therapies.

RESUMEN

Recent studies have highlighted the role of vitamin C and D in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In 2018, we changed our practices to add both vitamins to the supportive care for all consecutive patients with AML undergoing intensive chemotherapy. In this study, we compared the outcomes of patients treated before and after this change in practice. From 2015 to 2020, 431 patients were included, 262 of whom received no supplementation and 169 of whom received vitamin supplementation. Vitamin C and vitamin D was administered from day 10 of chemotherapy until hematologic recovery from induction and consolidation. Most patients presented at diagnosis with low levels of vitamin C and D. Upon recovery from induction, vitamin D levels among the vitamin C/D group significantly increased compared with those at diagnosis, and pretransplant levels were significantly higher in the vitamin C/D group compared with the control group (median of 33 vs 19 ng/mL; P < .0001). During induction, the rates of bacterial or fungal infection, hemorrhage, or macrophage activation syndrome were lower in the vitamin C/D group, whereas there was no difference in response rate, relapse incidence, and overall survival (OS). However, the multivariate analysis for OS showed a significant interaction between vitamin C/D and NPM1 mutation, meaning that vitamin C/D supplementation was significantly and independently associated with better OS in patients with NPM1 mutations (hazard ratio [HR], 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30-0.90; P = .019) compared with patients with wild-type NPM1 (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.68-1.51; P = .95). In conclusion, vitamin C/D supplementation is safe and could influence the outcomes of patients with AML undergoing intensive chemotherapy.

RESUMEN

We analyzed 526 consecutive acute myeloid leukemia patients refractory to or relapsing after chemotherapy. 270 patients received intensive salvage chemotherapy (IC), 97 azacitidine (AZA) and 159 best supportive care (BSC). Complete response was obtained in 37/19/0% (p = .0008). Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (alloSCT) was performed in 39.3/10.3/0%. Median overall survival (OS) and 5-year OS were 8.2/9.6/2.2 months and 16/6/2% (p < .0001). Predictive factors of worse OS were post-myelodysplastic/chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, bone marrow blasts ≥20%, adverse cytogenetics, AZA cycle ≥2 and no alloSCT at R/R for AZA and age, performance status, white blood cell count and myelodysplasia-related changes for IC. The impact of treatment was time-dependent: adjusted hazard ratio for OS was in favor of AZA up to 1 month, was not different between 1 and 7 months, then was in favor of IC after 7 months. While AZA represents a therapeutic option for the oldest patients, it does not lead to long-term survivors.

RESUMEN

Therapy resistance represents a major clinical challenge in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here we define a 'MitoScore' signature, which identifies high mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in vivo and in patients with AML. Primary AML cells with cytarabine (AraC) resistance and a high MitoScore relied on mitochondrial Bcl2 and were highly sensitive to venetoclax (VEN) + AraC (but not to VEN + azacytidine). Single-cell transcriptomics of VEN + AraC-residual cell populations revealed adaptive resistance associated with changes in oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain complex and the TP53 pathway. Accordingly, treatment of VEN + AraC-resistant AML cells with electron transport chain complex inhibitors, pyruvate dehydrogenase inhibitors or mitochondrial ClpP protease agonists substantially delayed relapse following VEN + AraC. These findings highlight the central role of mitochondrial adaptation during AML therapy and provide a scientific rationale for alternating VEN + azacytidine with VEN + AraC in patients with a high MitoScore and to target mitochondrial metabolism to enhance the sensitivity of AML cells to currently approved therapies.

RESUMEN

Two recent phase 3 trials showed that outcomes for relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients may be improved by a single-agent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (i.e., quizartinib or gilteritinib). In the current study, we retrospectively investigated the characteristics and real-world outcomes of R/R FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in the Toulouse-Bordeaux DATAML registry. In the study, we included 316 patients with FLT3-ITD AML that received intensive chemotherapy as a first-line treatment. The rate of complete remission (CR) or CR without hematological recovery (CRi) was 75.2%, and 160 patients were R/R after a first-line TKI-free treatment (n = 294). Within the subgroup of R/R patients that fulfilled the main criteria of the QUANTUM-R study, 48.9% received an intensive salvage regimen; none received hypomethylating agents or low-dose cytarabine. Among the R/R FLT3-ITD AML patients with CR1 durations < 6 months who received intensive TKI-free treatment, the rate of CR or CRi after salvage chemotherapy was 52.8%, and these results allowed a bridge to be transplanted in 39.6% of cases. Finally, in this QUANTUM-R standard arm-matched cohort, the median overall survival (OS) was 7.0 months and 1-, 3- and 5-year OS were 30.2%, 23.7% and 21.4%, respectively. To conclude, these real-world data show that the intensity of the second-line treatment likely affects response and transplantation rates. Furthermore, the results indicate that including patients with low-intensity regimens, such as low-dose cytarabine or hypomethylating agents, in the control arm of a phase 3 trial may be counterproductive and could compromise the results of the study.

RESUMEN

A recent phase 3 trial showed that the outcome of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) improved with gilteritinib, a single-agent second-generation FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), compared with standard of care. In this trial, the response rate with standard therapy was particularly low. We retrospectively assessed the characteristics and outcome of patients with R/R FLT3-mutated AML included in the Toulouse-Bordeaux DATAML registry. Among 347 patients who received FLT3 TKI-free intensive chemotherapy as first-line treatment, 174 patients were refractory (n = 48, 27.6%) or relapsed (n = 126, 72.4%). Salvage treatments consisted of intensive chemotherapy (n = 99, 56.9%), azacitidine or low-dose cytarabine (n = 9, 5.1%), other low-intensity treatments (n = 17, 9.8%), immediate allogeneic stem cell transplantation (n = 4, 2.3%) or best supportive care only (n = 45, 25.9%). Among the 114 patients who previously received FLT3 TKI-free intensive chemotherapy as first-line treatment (refractory, n = 32, 28.1%; relapsed, n = 82, 71.9%), the rate of CR (complete remission) or CRi (complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) after high- or low-intensity salvage treatment was 50.0%, with a bridge to transplant in 34.2% (n = 39) of cases. The median overall survival (OS) was 8.2 months (interquartile range, 3.0-32); 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 36.0% (95%CI: 27-45), 24.7% (95%CI: 1-33) and 19.7% (95%CI: 1-28), respectively. In this real-word study, although response rate appeared higher than the controlled arm of the ADMIRAL trial, the outcome of patients with R/R FLT3-mutated AML remains very poor with standard salvage therapy.

RESUMEN

Describing the prognosis of sub-groups of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated in real world with current therapies is becoming increasingly relevant to estimate the benefit that new targeted drugs will bring in the field. This is particularly the case when novel drugs are registered on the basis of non-randomized studies. IDH2 inhibitors have recently emerged as promising drugs in patients with IDH2R140 or IDH2R172 mutations. Enasidenib, a first-in-class IDH2 inhibitor, has been approved following promising results of a phase 1-2 clinical trial in relapsed or refractory AML patients with IDH2 mutations. In this study, we described the characteristics, treatments and outcome of 75 IDH2 mutated patients both at diagnosis and relapse or refractory disease. Among the 33 relapsed/refractory AML patients with either IDH2R140 or IDH2R172, 28 (84.8%) patients received salvage therapy and 14 achieved a complete response (50%). Median duration of response was 15.2 months. Median, 1-y, 3-y and 5-y OS were 15.1 months (IQR, 4.6-37.7), 53.1% (95% CI, 33.2-69.5), 29.2% (95% CI, 12.6-48.1) and 24.4% (95% CI, 9.3-43.1), respectively. In responding patients, median OS was 37.7 months and 1-y, 3-y and 5-y OS was 85.7%, 57.1% and 47.6%, respectively. In non-responding patients, median OS was 5.0 months (IQR, 4.5-8.6) and 1-y and 3-y OS was 17.9% and 0%, respectively. Thus, a substantial number of R/R AML patients with IDH2 mutations can be salvaged by current treatments and benefit from prolonged survival. It is expected that novel targeted agents such as enasidenib will further improve efficacy and safety in the next future.
