RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: The detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) is the strongest predictor of relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Using inotuzumab ozogamicin in the setting of MRD may improve outcomes. Patients with ALL in first complete remission (CR1) or beyond (CR2+) with MRD ≥ 1 × 10-4 were enrolled in this phase 2 trial. Inotuzumab was administered at 0.6 mg/m2 on day 1 and 0.3 mg/m2 on day 8 of cycle 1, then at 0.3 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of cycles 2-6. Twenty-six consecutive patients with a median age of 46 years (range, 19-70 years) were treated. Nineteen (73%) were in CR1 and seven (27%) in CR2+; 16 (62%) had Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL. Fifteen (58%) had baseline MRD ≥ 1 × 10-3. A median of 3 cycles (range, 1-6) were administered. Eighteen (69%) patients responded and achieved MRD negativity. After a median follow-up of 24 months (range, 9-43), the 2-year relapse-free survival rate was 54% and the 2-year overall survival rate was 60% in the entire cohort. Most adverse events were low grade; sinusoidal obstruction syndrome was noted in 2 patients (8%). In summary, inotuzumab ozogamicin resulted in favorable survival, MRD negativity rates, and safety profiles for patients with ALL and MRD-positive status. This study was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT03441061.

RESUMEN

Targeted therapy development for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) requires an understanding of specific expression profiles. We collected flow cytometry data on 901 AML patients and recorded aberrant CD7 expression on leukaemic blasts. 263 (29.2%) had blasts positive for CD7. CD7+ AML was more likely to be adverse risk (64.6% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.0074) and less likely to be favourable risk (15.2% vs. 24.1%, p = 0.0074) by European LeukemiaNet 2022 criteria. Overall survival was inferior (11.9 [95% CI, 9.7-15.9] vs. 19.0 months [95% CI, 16.1-23.0], p = 0.0174). At relapse, 30.4% lost and 19.0% gained CD7, suggesting moderate instability over time.

RESUMEN

The classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias was last updated in 2016 within a collaboration between the World Health Organization (WHO), the Society for Hematopathology, and the European Association for Haematopathology. This collaboration was primarily based on input from a clinical advisory committees (CACs) composed of pathologists, hematologists, oncologists, geneticists, and bioinformaticians from around the world. The recent advances in our understanding of the biology of hematologic malignancies, the experience with the use of the 2016 WHO classification in clinical practice, and the results of clinical trials have indicated the need for further revising and updating the classification. As a continuation of this CAC-based process, the authors, a group with expertise in the clinical, pathologic, and genetic aspects of these disorders, developed the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias. Using a multiparameter approach, the main objective of the consensus process was the definition of real disease entities, including the introduction of new entities and refined criteria for existing diagnostic categories, based on accumulated data. The ICC is aimed at facilitating diagnosis and prognostication of these neoplasms, improving treatment of affected patients, and allowing the design of innovative clinical trials.

RESUMEN

Cytogenomic characterization is crucial for the classification and risk stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), thereby facilitating therapeutic decision-making. We examined the clinical utility of optical genome mapping (OGM) in 159 AML patients (103 newly diagnosed and 56 refractory/relapsed), all of whom also underwent chromosomal banding analysis (CBA), fluorescence in situ hybridization, and targeted next-generation sequencing. OGM detected nearly all clinically relevant cytogenetic abnormalities that SCG identified with >99% sensitivity, provided the clonal burden was above 20%. OGM identified additional cytogenomic aberrations and/or provided information on fusion genes in 77 (48%) patients, including eight patients with normal karyotypes and four with failed karyotyping. The most common additional alterations identified by OGM included chromoanagenesis (n = 23), KMT2A partial tandem duplication (n = 11), rearrangements involving MECOM (n = 7), NUP98 (n = 2), KMT2A (n = 2), JAK2 (n = 2), and other gene fusions in 17 patients, with 10 showing novel fusion gene partners. OGM also pinpointed fusion genes in 17 (11%) patients where chromosomal rearrangements were concurrently detected by OGM and CBA. Overall, 24 (15%) aberrations were identified exclusively by OGM and had the potential to alter AML classification, risk stratification, and/or clinical trial eligibility. OGM emerges as a powerful tool for identifying fusion genes and detecting subtle or cryptic cytogenomic aberrations that may otherwise remain undetectable by CBA.

RESUMEN

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm driven by canonical gene mutations in JAK2, CALR, or MPL in >80% of the cases. PMF that lacks these canonical alterations is termed triple-negative PMF (TN-PMF). The pathologic and genetic characteristics of TN-PMF compared with those of conventional PMF with canonical driver mutations (DM-PMF) have not been well studied. We aimed to identify clinicopathologic and molecular genetic differences between patients with TN-PMF (n = 56) and DM-PMF (n = 89), all of whom fulfilled the 2016 World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for PMF. Compared with the control group, patients in the TN-PMF group were more likely to have thrombocytopenia and less likely to have organomegaly. The bone marrow in patients with TN-PMF showed fewer granulocytic elements and more frequent dyserythropoiesis. Cytogenetic analysis showed a higher incidence of trisomy 8. Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed a lower frequency of ASXL1 mutations but enrichment of ASXL1/SRSF2 comutations. Our findings demonstrated several clinicopathologic and molecular differences between TN-PMF and DM-PMF. These findings, particularly the observed mutation profile characterized by a higher frequency of ASXL1 and SRSF2 comutation, suggest that at least a subset of TN-PMF may be pathogenetically different from DM-PMF, with potential prognostic implications.

RESUMEN

Although clonal hematopoiesis (CH) can precede the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it can also persist after achieving remission. Long-term clonal dynamics and clinical implications of persistent CH are not well understood. Here, we studied the prevalence, dynamics, and clinical implications of postremission CH in 164 AML patients who attained complete remission after induction chemotherapies. Postremission CH was identified in 79 (48%) patients. Postremission CH persisted long term in 91% of the trackable patients despite treatment with various types of consolidation and maintenance therapies. Postremission CH was eradicated in 20 out of 21 (95%) patients who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant. Although patients with postremission CH as a group had comparable hematopoiesis with those without it, patients with persistent TET2 mutations showed significant neutropenia long term. Postremission CH had little impact on relapse risk, nonrelapse mortality, and incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, although the clinical impact of post-CR CH was heterogeneous among different mutations. These data suggest that although residual clonal hematopoietic stem cells are generally resistant to consolidation and maintenance therapies, they retain the ability to maintain normal hematopoiesis and have little impact on clinical outcomes. Larger study is needed to dissect the gene-specific heterogeneity.

RESUMEN

DUSP22 rearrangement (R) has been associated with a favorable outcome in systemic ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). However, a recent study found that patients with DUSP22-R ALK-negative ALCL have a poorer prognosis than was reported initially. In this study, we compared the clinicopathological features and outcomes of patients with ALKnegative ALCL with DUSP22-R (n=22) versus those without DUSP22-R (DUSP22-NR; n=59). Patients with DUSP22-R ALCL were younger than those with DUSP22-NR neoplasms (P=0.049). DUSP22-R ALK-negative ALCL cases were more often positive for CD15, CD8, and less frequently expressed pSTAT3Tyr705, PD-L1, granzyme B and EMA (all P<0.05). TP63 rearrangement (TP63-R) was detected in three of the 66 (5%) ALK-negative ALCL cases tested and none of these cases carried the DUSP22-R. Overall survival of patients with DUSP22-R ALCL was similar to that of the patients with DUSP22-NR neoplasms regardless of International Prognostic Index score, stage, age, or stem cell transplantation status (all P>0.05), but was significantly shorter than that of the patients with ALK-positive ALCL (median overall survival 53 months vs. undefined, P=0.005). Five-year overall survival rates were 40% for patients with DUSP22-R ALCL versus 82% for patients with ALK-positive ALCL. We conclude that DUSP22-R neoplasms represent a distinctive subset of ALK-negative ALCL. However, in this cohort DUSP22-R was not associated with a better clinical outcome. Therefore, we suggest that current treatment guidelines for this subset of ALK-negative ALCL patients should not be modified at present.

RESUMEN

STAT5B has been reported as a recurrent mutation in myeloid neoplasms (MNs) with eosinophilia, but the overall frequency and importance across a spectrum of MNs are largely unknown. We conducted a multicenter study on a series of 82 MNs with STAT5B mutations detected by next-generation sequencing. The estimated frequency of STAT5B mutation in MNs was low.

RESUMEN

Based on new data and increased understanding of disease molecular genetics, the international consensus classification (ICC) has made several changes in the diagnosis and classification of eosinophilic disorders and systemic mastocytosis. Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (M/LN-eo) and gene rearrangements have been renamed as M/LN-eo with tyrosine kinase gene fusions (M/LN-eo-TK). The category has been expanded to include ETV6::ABL1 and FLT3 fusions, and to accept PCM1::JAK2 and its genetic variants as formal members. The overlaps and differences between M/LN-eo-TK and BCR::ABL1-like B-lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/de novo T-ALL sharing the same genetic lesions are addressed. Besides genetics, ICC for the first time has introduced bone marrow morphologic criteria in distinguishing idiopathic hypereosinophilia/hypereosinophilic syndrome from chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified. The major diagnostic criteria for systemic mastocytosis (SM) in the ICC remain largely based on morphology, but several minor modifications/refinements have been made in criteria related to diagnosis, subclassification, and assessment of disease burden (B- and C-findings). This review is to focus on the ICC updates related to these disease entities, illustrated through changes related to morphology, molecular genetics, clinical features, prognosis, and treatment. Two practical algorithms are provided in navigating through the diagnosis and classification systems of hypereosinophilia and SM.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Induction with ibrutinib and rituximab provides an opportunity to minimise chemotherapy exposure, because upfront use of these targeted therapies could result in remission without chemotherapy and allow for consolidation with only four cycles of chemotherapy instead of the conventional eight. We aimed to determine the activity and safety of ibrutinib-rituximab induction followed by shortened chemoimmunotherapy (four cycles) with rituximab plus hyper-fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (R-HCVAD) alternating with methotrexate-cytarabine in previously untreated patients with mantle cell lymphoma. METHODS: We did a single-centre, single-arm, phase 2 trial in previously untreated patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Eligible patients were aged 65 years or younger and had serum bilirubin of less than 1·5 mg/dL, creatinine clearance of 30 mL/min or more, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 or less, and cardiac ejection fraction 50% or more by echocardiogram. Patients received 12 cycles of ibrutinib-rituximab induction (part A; oral ibrutinib 560 mg daily and intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 weekly for the first 4 weeks and then on day 1 of cycles 3-12). As soon as patients had a complete response, four cycles of R-HCVAD alternating with methotrexate-cytarabine (part B) were administered. If they did not have a complete response or had a partial response, patients received two cycles of R-HCVAD alternating with methotrexate-cytarabine followed by reassessment, up to a total of eight cycles. Patients were taken off study if they had stable disease or progression during R-HCVAD. The primary outcome was the overall response rate after part A. The analyses were conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02427620. FINDINGS: 131 patients were enrolled between June 12, 2015, and Dec 6, 2018. The median age was 56 years (IQR 49-60). 58 (50%) of 117 patients had high Ki-67 (≥30%). 129 (98%, 95% CI 95-100) of 131 patients had an overall response in part A. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were lymphocytopenia (19 [14%] of 131), skin rash (16 [12%]), thrombocytopenia (12 [9%]), infections (11 [8%]), and fatigue (ten [8%]) in part A and lymphocytopenia (96 [73%]), leukocytopenia (42 [32%]), thrombocytopenia (40 [30%]), and neutropenia (26 [20%]) in part B. There was one on-study death, which was not deemed to be treatment-related. INTERPRETATION: Induction with ibrutinib-rituximab in the frontline treatment of young patients with mantle cell lymphoma is active and safe. This approach allowed minimisation of the number of chemotherapy cycles, thereby reducing the adverse events associated with chemotherapy. Newer trials bringing the next-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors into the frontline setting might obviate the need for chemotherapy altogether in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

RESUMEN

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are frequently associated with classic driver mutations involving JAK2, MPL or CALR. SRSF2 is among the most frequently mutated splicing genes in myeloid neoplasms and SRSF2 mutations are known to confer a poor prognosis in patients with MPNs. In this study, we sought to evaluate the clinicopathologic spectrum of myeloid neoplasms harboring concurrent MPN-driver mutations and SRSF2 mutations. The study cohort included 27 patients, 22 (82%) men and five (19%) women, with a median age of 71 years (range, 51-84). These patients presented commonly with organomegaly (n = 15; 56%), monocytosis (n = 13; 48%), morphologic dysplasia (n = 11; 41%), megakaryocytic hyperplasia and/or clustering (n = 10; 37%) and bone marrow fibrosis >MF-1 (17/22; 77%). About one third of patients either initially presented with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or eventually progressed to AML. Eighteen (68%) patients had a dominant clone with SRSF2 mutation and nine (33%) patients had a dominant clone with a classic MPN-associated driver mutation. Our data suggest that the presence of an SRSF2 mutation preceding the acquisition of a MPN driver mutations is not a disease-defining alteration nor is it restricted to any specific disease entity within the spectrum of myeloid neoplasms. In summary, patients with myeloid neoplasms associated with concurrent SRSF2 and classic MPN driver mutations have clinical and morphologic features close to that of classic MPNs often with frequent dysplasia and monocytosis.

RESUMEN

Classification of myeloid neoplasms with isolated isochromosome i(17q) [17p deletion with inherent monoallelic TP53 loss plus 17q duplication] is controversial. Most cases fall within the WHO unclassifiable myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN-U) category. The uniformly dismal outcomes warrant better understanding of this entity. We undertook a multi-institutional retrospective study of 92 adult MDS/MPN-U cases from eight institutions. Twenty-nine (32%) patients had isolated i(17q) [MDS/MPN-i(17q)]. Compared to MDS/MPN without i(17q), MDS/MPN-i(17q) patients were significantly younger, had lower platelet and absolute neutrophil counts, and higher frequency of splenomegaly and circulating blasts. MDS/MPN-i(17q) cases showed frequent bilobed neutrophils (75% vs. 23%; P = 0.03), hypolobated megakaryocytes (62% vs. 20%; P = 0.06), and a higher frequency of SETBP1 (69% vs. 5%; P = 0.002) and SRSF2 (63% vs. 5%; P = 0.006) mutations that were frequently co-existent (44% vs. 0%; P = 0.01). TP53 mutations were rare. The mutation profile of MDS/MPN-U-i(17q) was similar to other myeloid neoplasms with i(17q) including atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia, with frequent concomitant SETBP1/SRSF2 mutations observed across all the diagnostic entities. Over a median follow-up of 52 months, patients with MDS/MPN-i(17q) showed a shorter median overall survival (11 vs. 28 months; P < 0.001). The presence of i(17q) retained independent poor prognostic value in multivariable Cox-regression analysis [HR 3.686 (1.17-11.6); P = 0.026] along with splenomegaly. We suggest that MDS/MPN-i(17q) warrants recognition as a distinct subtype within the MDS/MPN-U category based on its unique clinico-biologic features and uniformly poor prognosis.

RESUMEN

Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH) using a CBFB breakapart probe is widely used to detect CBFB rearrangement (CBFBr) in cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, detection of 3'CBFB deletion (3'CBFBdel) often poses a challenge for interpretation, and the clinical importance of 3'CBFBdel associated CBFBr remains largely unknown. We identified 16 AML patients with 3'CBFBdel, 11 (69%) of which were confirmed to have CBFB::MYH11 fusion. These 11 patients presented with de novo AML; 10 showed myelomonocytic differentiation, 8 had a prominent eosinophilic component, and 7 showed characteristic eosinophils with basophilic granules. Next generation sequencing showed mutations in 7/8 patients, 5 with KRAS/NRAS, 3 with FLT3-TKD, but none with KIT mutations. Except for one patient who died 5 days after diagnosis of AML, all 10 patients received chemotherapy and achieved remission initially. However, within 3 years, 5 (50%) patients had relapsed, of whom, 1 died and 4 received hematopoietic stem cell transplant. After a median follow-up of 76 months, 3 patients died and 8 were alive in complete remission. Our study shows that detection of 3'CBFBdel is not equivalent to unbalanced CBFB rearrangement, and therefore, an alternative confirmatory test is warranted. AML with 3'CBFBdel/CBFBr often shows similar pathological features to AML with inv(16), but appears to have different mutation profiles and a higher risk of relapse requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

RESUMEN

Multi-agent induction chemotherapy (IC) improves response rates in younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, relapse remains the principal cause of treatment failure. Improved induction regimens are needed. A prospective single-center phase Ib/II study evaluating fludarabine, cytarabine, G-CSF, and idarubicin combined with venetoclax (FLAG-IDA + VEN) in patients with newly diagnosed (ND) or relapsed/refractory AML. The primary efficacy endpoint was assessment of overall activity (overall response rate [ORR]: complete remission [CR] + CR with partial hematologic recovery [CRh] + CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi] + morphologic leukemia free state + partial response). Secondary objectives included additional assessments of efficacy, overall survival (OS), and event-free survival (EFS). Results of the expanded ND cohort with additional follow-up are reported. Forty-five patients (median age: 44 years [range 20-65]) enrolled. ORR was 98% (N = 44/45; 95% credible interval 89.9%-99.7%). Eighty-nine percent (N = 40/45) of patients attained a composite CR (CRc + CRh + CRi) including 93% (N = 37/40) who were measurable residual disease (MRD) negative. Twenty-seven (60%) patients transitioned to allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT). Common non-hematologic adverse events included febrile neutropenia (44%; N = 20), pneumonia (22%, N = 10), bacteremia (18%, N = 8), and skin/soft tissue infections (44%, N = 20). After a median follow-up of 20 months, median EFS and OS were not reached. Estimated 24-month EFS and OS were 64% and 76%, respectively. FLAG-IDA + VEN is an active regimen in ND-AML capable of producing high MRD-negative remission rates and enabling transition to alloHSCT when appropriate in most patients. Toxicities were as expected with IC and were manageable. Estimated 24-month survival appears favorable compared to historical IC benchmarks.

RESUMEN

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare, clinically aggressive form of large B-cell lymphoma that is preferentially located within blood vessel lumina. Despite its intravascular location, a leukemic phase of disease seems to be uncommon. After encountering a patient with IVLBCL with numerous circulating lymphoma cells, we reviewed the literature and identified 6 patients with IVLBCL who had numerous circulating lymphoma cells (defined by ≥10% lymphoma cells in peripheral blood). The percentage of circulating lymphoma cells in this patient cohort was variable, with a median of 36% (range, 14% - 87%), Bone marrow was involved in all 5 patients assessed. Elevation of liver transaminases preferentially affecting aspartate aminotransferase (AST, 3/3, 100%), hepatosplenomegaly (4/5, 80%), thrombocytopenia (100%), CD5 positivity (100%) and monotypic lambda light chain predominance (3/4, 75%) were common features. Conventional cytogenetic analysis performed in 4 patients revealed a complex karyotype with multiple abnormalities particularly deletions and copy number aberrations involving chromosomes 6q and 18. The clinical courses of these patients were highly variable, but overall there was a high mortality rate of 75% with 18-months of follow-up. Due to the rarity of IVLBCL, along with its variable clinical manifestations and subtle pathologic changes, the diagnosis is often delayed which may contribute to the poor outcome of IVLBCL patients. Recognition that this disease can present rarely with a leukemic phase further expands our knowledge of the clinicopathologic spectrum of IVLBC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative option for patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Bone marrow (BM) morphologic evaluation of myelofibrosis following allo-HSCT is known to be challenging in this context because resolution of morphologic changes is a gradual process. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared BM samples of patients with myelofibrosis who underwent first allo-HSCT and achieved molecular remission by day 100 with BM samples of patients who continued to have persistent molecular evidence of disease following allo-HSCT. RESULTS: The study group included 29 patients: 17 primary MF, 7 post-polycythemia vera (PV) MF, and 5 post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) MF. In this cohort there were 18 JAK2 p.V617F, 8 CALR; 1 MPL, and 2 patients had concurrent JAK2 p.V617F and MPL mutations. The control group included 5 patients with primary MF, one with post-PV MF, one with post-ET MF (5 JAK2 p.V617F; 2 CALR). Following allo-HSCT, both groups showed reduction in BM cellularity and number of megakaryocytes. The study cohort also less commonly had dense megakaryocyte clusters and endosteal located megakaryocytes and showed less fibrosis. There was no statistical difference in BM cellularity, presence of erythroid islands, degree of osteosclerosis, or megakaryocyte number, size, nuclear lobation, presence of clusters or intrasinusoidal location. CONCLUSIONS: Following allo-HSCT at 100 days, morphologic evaluation of BM in patients with MF cannot reliably predict persistence versus clearance of molecular evidence of MF. Disappearance of BM MF, dense megakaryocyte clusters, and endosteal localization of megakaryocytes are suggestive of disease response.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have limited treatment options. In preclinical models of AML, inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis demonstrated antileukemic activity. Avelumab is an anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) approved in multiple solid tumors. The authors conducted a phase 1b/2 clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of azacitidine with avelumab in patients with R/R AML. METHODS: Patients aged ≥18 years who had R/R AML received azacitidine 75 mg/m2 on days 1 through 7 and avelumab on days 1 and 14 of 28-day cycles. RESULTS: Nineteen patients were treated. The median age was 66 years (range, 22-83 years), 100% had European LeukemiaNet 2017 adverse-risk disease, and 63% had prior exposure to a hypomethylating agent. Avelumab was dosed at 3 mg/kg for the first 7 patients and at 10 mg/kg for the subsequent 12 patients. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia and anemia in 2 patients each. Two patients experienced immune-related adverse events of grade 2 and grade 3 pneumonitis, respectively. The overall complete remission rate was 10.5%, and both were complete remission with residual thrombocytopenia. The median overall survival was 4.8 months. Bone marrow blasts were analyzed for immune-related markers by mass cytometry and demonstrated significantly higher expression of PD-L2 compared with PD-L1 both pretherapy and at all time points during therapy, with increasing PD-L2 expression on therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Although the combination of azacitidine and avelumab was well tolerated, clinical activity was limited. High expression of PD-L2 on bone marrow blasts may be an important mechanism of resistance to anti-PD-L1 therapy in AML. LAY SUMMARY: This report describes the results of a phase 1b/2 study of azacitidine with the anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor avelumab for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The clinical activity of the combination therapy was modest, with an overall response rate of 10.5%. However, mass cytometry analysis revealed significantly higher expression of PD-L2 compared with PD-L1 on AML blasts from all patients who were analyzed at all time points. These data suggest a novel potential role for PD-L2 as a means of AML immune escape.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: New drug combinations have led to significant improvements in remission rates for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, many patients with high-risk AML who respond to their initial treatment and are not candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) will eventually relapse with poor outcomes. METHODS: In this phase 2 trial, the efficacy of lenalidomide maintenance was evaluated in patients with high-risk AML who had achieved their first or second remission after induction chemotherapy and at least 1 consolidation cycle and who were not candidates for immediate ASCT. Lenalidomide was given orally at 10 to 20 mg daily on days 1 to 28 of a 28-day cycle for up to 24 cycles. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients were enrolled in this study with a median age of 61 years (range, 24-87 years). The median number of cycles was 8 (range, 1-24 cycles). Ten patients (36%) completed 24 months of maintenance treatment. With a median follow-up of 22.5 months (range, 2.6-55 months), 12 patients (43%) relapsed after a median of 3 months (range, 0.7-23 months). The median duration of remission for all patients was 18.7 months (range, 0.7-55.1 months). The 2-year overall survival and relapse-free survival rates from the time of enrollment were 63% and 50%, respectively. Overall, lenalidomide was well tolerated; serious adverse events of grade 3 or 4, including rash (n = 5), thrombocytopenia (n = 4), neutropenia (n = 4), and fatigue (n = 2), were observed in 13 patients (46%). CONCLUSIONS: Lenalidomide is a safe and feasible maintenance strategy in patients with high-risk AML who are not candidates for ASCT, and it has beneficial effects for patients with negative measurable residual disease.

RESUMEN

Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) may persist beyond attaining complete remission. From a consecutive cohort of 67 patients with nucleophosmin 1-mutated (NPM1mut ) AML, we identified 50 who achieved NPM1mut clearance and had parallel multicolour flow cytometry (MFC) and next generation sequencing (NGS). In total, 13 (26%) cleared all mutations, 37 (74%) had persistent CH frequently involving DNA methyltransferase 3α (DNMT3A,70%), tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2, 27%), isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2, 19%) and IDH1 (11%). A small number (<1%) of aberrant CD34+ myeloblasts, but immunophenotypically different from original AML blasts [herein referred to as a pre-leukaemic (PL) phenotype], was detected in 17 (49%) patients with CH, but not in any patients with complete clearance of all mutations (P = 0·0037). A PL phenotype was associated with higher mutation burden (P = 0·005). Persistent IDH2 and serine and arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2) mutations were exclusively observed in PL+ CH+ cases (P = 0·016). Persistent dysplasia was seen exclusively in cases with a PL+ phenotype (29% vs. none; P = 0·04). The PL+ phenotype did not correlate with age, intensity of induction therapy or relapse-free survival. Post-remission CH in the setting of NPM1mut clearance is common and may result in immunophenotypic changes in myeloid progenitors. It is important to not misinterpret these cells as AML measurable residual disease (MRD).

RESUMEN

JAK2, CALR, and MPL are myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-driver mutations, whereas SF3B1 is strongly associated with ring sideroblasts (RS) in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Concomitant mutations of SF3B1 and MPN-driver mutations out of the context of MDS/MPN with RS and thrombocytosis (MDS/MPN-RS-T) are not well-studied. From the cases (<5% blasts) tested by NGS panels interrogating at least 42 myeloid neoplasm-related genes, we identified 18 MDS/MPN-RS-T, 42 MPN, 10 MDS, and 6 MDS/MPN-U cases with an SF3B1 and an MPN-driver mutation. Using a 10% VAF difference to define "SF3B1-dominant," "MPN-mutation dominant," and "no dominance," the majority of MDS/MPN-RS-T clustered in "SF3B1-dominant" and "no dominance" regions. Aside from parameters as thrombocytosis and ≥15% RS required for RS-T, MDS also differed in frequent neutropenia, multilineage dysplasia, and notably more cases with <10% VAF of MPN-driver mutations (60%, p = 0.0346); MPN differed in more frequent splenomegaly, myelofibrosis, and higher VAF of "MPN-driver mutations." "Gray zone" cases with features overlapping MDS/MPN-RS-T were observed in over one-thirds of non-RS-T cases. This study shows that concomitant SF3B1 and MPN-driver mutations can be observed in MDS, MPN, and MDS/MPN-U, each showing overlapping but also distinctively different clinicopathological features. Clonal hierarchy, cytogenetic abnormalities, and additional somatic mutations may in part contribute to different disease phenotypes, which may help in the classification of "gray zone" cases.
