RESUMO
PURPOSE: Comprehensive pharmacogenomics (PGx) evaluation of calicheamicin-pathway to identify predictive PGx markers of response to gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA-damage response (DDR) pathway genes were tested for association with event-free survival (EFS), overall-survival (OS), risk of relapse after induction 1 (RR1) in patients treated with standard chemotherapy consisting of Ara-C, Daunorubicin and Etoposide (ADE) with or without addition of GO on COG-AAML03P1 and COG-AAAML0531 trials (ADE+GO, n=755; ADE n=470). SNPs with significant association with any endpoint within ADE+GO arm but not in the ADE arm were tested using multi-SNP modeling to develop DDR_PGx7 Score. RESULTS: Patients with low-DDR_PGx7 score (<0) had significantly worse EFS (HR=1.51, 95%CI (1.21-1.89), P<0.001), worse OS (HR=1.59, 95%CI (1.22-2.08), P<0.001), and higher RR1 (HR=1.87, 95%CI(1.41-2.47), P<0.0001) compared to patients with high-DDR_PGx7 score (≥0) when treated with GO (ADE+GO cohort). However, no difference between low and high DDR_PGx7 score groups was observed for EFS, OS, and RR1 (all P>0.3) in patients treated on ADE arm. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that DDR pathway-based pharmacogenomic score holds potential to predict outcome in patients treated with GO which consists of DNA damaging cytotoxin, calicheamicin. The potential clinical relevance for this score to personalize GO in AML requires further validation in independent and expanded cohorts.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: We sought to define the cooccurring mutational profile of FLT3-ITD-positive (ITDpos) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in pediatric and young adult patients and to define the prognostic impact of cooperating mutations. We identified 464 patients with FLT3-ITD mutations treated on Children's Oncology Group trials with available sequencing and outcome data. Overall survival, event-free survival (EFS), and relapse risk were determined according to the presence of cooccurring risk stratifying mutations. Among the cohort, 79% of patients had cooccurring alterations across 239 different genes that were altered through mutations or fusions. Evaluation of the prognostic impact of the cooccurring mutations demonstrated that patients with ITDpos AML experienced significantly different outcomes according to the cooccurring mutational profile. Patients with ITDpos AML harboring a cooccurring favorable-risk mutation of NPM1, CEBPA, t(8;21), or inv(16) experienced a 5-year EFS of 64%, which was significantly superior to of 22.2% for patients with ITDpos AML and poor-risk mutations of WT1, UBTF, or NUP98::NSD1 as well to 40.9% for those who lacked either favorable-risk or poor-risk mutation (ITDpos intermediate; P < .001 for both). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that cooccurring mutations had significant prognostic impact, whereas allelic ratio had no impact. Therapy intensification, specifically consolidation transplant in remission, resulted in significant improvements in survival for ITDpos AML. However, patients with ITDpos/NUP98::NSD1 continued to have poor outcomes with intensified therapy, including sorafenib. Cooccurring mutational profile in ITDpos AML has significant prognostic impacts and is critical to determining risk stratification and therapeutic allocation. These clinical trials were registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00002798, NCT00070174, NCT00372593, and NCT01371981.

ABSTRACT: MLLT10 gene rearrangements with KMT2A occur in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and confer poor prognosis, but the prognostic impact of MLLT10 in partnership with other genes is unknown. We conducted a retrospective study with 2080 children and young adults with AML registered on the Children's Oncology Group AAML0531 (NCT00372593) and AAML1031 trials (NCT01371981). Transcriptome profiling and/or karyotyping were performed to identify leukemia-associated fusions associated with prognosis. Collectively, 127 patients (6.1%) were identified with MLLT10 fusions: 104 (81.9%) with KMT2A::MLLT10, 13 (10.2%) with PICALM::MLLT10, and 10 (7.9%) X::MLLT10: (2 each of DDX3X and TEC), with 6 partners (DDX3Y, CEP164, SCN2B, TREH, NAP1L1, and XPO1) observed in single patients. Patients with MLLT10 (n = 127) demonstrated adverse outcomes, with 5-year event-free survival (EFS) of 18.6% vs 49% in patients without MLLT10 (n = 1953, P < .001), inferior 5-year overall survival (OS) of 38.2% vs 65.7% (P ≤ .001), and a higher relapse risk of 76% vs 38.6% (P < .001). Patients with KMT2A::MLLT10 had an EFS from study entry of 19.5% vs 12.7% (P = .628), and an OS from study entry of 40.4% vs 27.6% (P = .361) in those with other MLLT10 fusion partners. Patients with PICALM::MLLT10 had an EFS of 9.2% vs 20% in other MLLT10- without PICALM (X::MLLT10; P = .788). Patients with PICALM::MLLT10 and X::MLLT10 fusions exhibit a DNA hypermethylation signature resembling NUP98::NSD1 fusions, whereas patients with KMT2A::MLLT10 bear aberrations primarily affecting distal regulatory elements. Regardless of the fusion partner, patients with AML harboring MLLT10 fusions exhibit very high-risk features and should be prioritized for alternative therapeutic interventions.

The addition of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to standard chemotherapy did not improve survival in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when all patients were analyzed as a group in the Children's Oncology Group phase 3 trial AAML1031 (NCT01371981). Proteasome inhibition influences the chromatin landscape and proteostasis, and we hypothesized that baseline proteomic analysis of histone- and chromatin-modifying enzymes (HMEs) would identify AML subgroups that benefitted from bortezomib addition. A proteomic profile of 483 patients treated with AAML1031 chemotherapy was generated using a reverse-phase protein array. A relatively high expression of 16 HME was associated with lower EFS and higher 3-year relapse risk after AML standard treatment compared to low expressions (52% vs. 29%, p = 0.005). The high-HME profile correlated with more transposase-accessible chromatin, as demonstrated via ATAC-sequencing, and the bortezomib addition improved the 3-year overall survival compared with standard therapy (62% vs. 75%, p = 0.033). These data suggest that there are pediatric AML populations that respond well to bortezomib-containing chemotherapy.
