RESUMO
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).

We investigated using a custom NGS panel of 149 genes the mutational landscape of 64 consecutive adult patients with tyrosine kinase fusion-negative hypereosinophilia (HE)/hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) harboring features suggestive of myeloid neoplasm. At least one mutation was reported in 50/64 (78%) patients (compared to 8/44 (18%) patients with idiopathic HE/HES/HEUS used as controls; p < .001). Thirty-five patients (54%) had at least one mutation involving the JAK-STAT pathway, including STAT5B (n = 18, among which the hotspot N642H, n = 13), JAK1 (indels in exon 13, n = 5; V658F/L, n = 2), and JAK2 (V617F, n = 6; indels in exon 13, n = 2). Other previously undescribed somatic mutations were also found in JAK2, JAK1, STAT5B, and STAT5A, including three patients who shared the same STAT5A V707fs mutation and features consistent with primary polycythemia. Nearly all JAK-STAT mutations were preceded by (or associated with) myelodysplasia-related gene mutations, especially in RNA-splicing genes or chromatin modifiers. In multivariate analysis, neurologic involvement (hazard ratio [HR] 4.95 [1.87-13.13]; p = .001), anemia (HR 5.50 [2.24-13.49]; p < .001), and the presence of a high-risk mutation (as per the molecular international prognosis scoring system: HR 6.87 [2.39-19.72]; p < .001) were independently associated with impaired overall survival. While corticosteroids were ineffective in all treated JAK-STAT-mutated patients, ruxolitinib showed positive hematological responses including in STAT5A-mutated patients. These findings emphasize the usefulness of NGS for the workup of tyrosine kinase fusion-negative HE/HES patients and support the use of JAK inhibitors in this setting. Updated classifications could consider patients with JAK-STAT mutations and eosinophilia as a new "gene mutated-entity" that could be differentiated from CEL, NOS, and idiopathic HES.

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.

BACKGROUND: Internal tandem duplications in the FLT3 gene, termed FLT3-ITDs, are useful molecular markers in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for patient risk stratification and follow-up. FLT3-ITDs are increasingly screened through high-throughput sequencing (HTS) raising the need for robust and efficient algorithms. We developed a new algorithm, which performs no alignment and uses little resources, to identify and quantify FLT3-ITDs in HTS data. RESULTS: Our algorithm (FiLT3r) focuses on the k-mers from reads covering FLT3 exons 14 and 15. We show that those k-mers bring enough information to accurately detect, determine the length and quantify FLT3-ITD duplications. We compare the performances of FiLT3r to state-of-the-art alternatives and to fragment analysis, the gold standard method, on a cohort of 185 AML patients sequenced with capture-based HTS. On this dataset FiLT3r is more precise (no false positive nor false negative) than the other software evaluated. We also assess the software on public RNA-Seq data, which confirms the previous results and shows that FiLT3r requires little resources compared to other software. CONCLUSION: FiLT3r is a free software available at https://gitlab.univ-lille.fr/filt3r/filt3r . The repository also contains a Snakefile to reproduce our experiments. We show that FiLT3r detects FLT3-ITDs better than other software while using less memory and time.

OBJECTIVE: The detection of somatic mutations among the genes of myeloid cells in asymptomatic patients-defining clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP)-is associated with a predisposition to cardiovascular events (CVEs) in the general population. We aimed to determine whether CHIP was associated with CVEs in SLE patients. METHODS: The study is an ancillary study of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre PLUS trial conducted from June 2007 through August 2010 at 37 centres in France, involving 573 SLE patients. The search for somatic mutations by high-throughput sequencing of 53 genes involved in clonal haematopoiesis was performed on genomic DNA collected at PLUS inclusion. CHIP prevalence was assessed in SLE and in a retrospective cohort of 479 patients free of haematological malignancy. The primary outcome was an incident CVE in SLE. RESULTS: Screening for CHIP was performed in 438 SLE patients [38 (29-47) years, 91.8% female]. Overall, 63 somatic mutations were identified in 47 patients, defining a CHIP prevalence of 10.7% in SLE. Most SLE patients (78.7%) carried a single mutation. Most variants (62.5%) were located in the DNMT3A gene. CHIP frequency was related to age and to age at SLE diagnosis, and was associated with a lower frequency of aPLs. CHIP occurred >20 years earlier (P < 0.00001) in SLE than in controls. The detection of CHIP at inclusion was not found to be associated with occurrence of CVEs during follow-up [HR = 0.42 (0.06-3.21), P = 0.406]. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of CHIP is relatively high in SLE for a given age, but was not found to be associated with incident CVEs.

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.

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.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: AML classification tools have been developed to stratify the risk at AML diagnosis. There is a need to evaluate these tools in the current therapeutic era. COHORT CHARACTERISTICS: In this retrospective study, we compared five classifiers: ELN 2017, ELN 2022, ALFA classifier, Papaemmanuil et al. classifier, and Lindsley et al. classifier, in a real-life cohort of 281 patients newly diagnosed for AML in Nice University Hospital. In our cohort median age was 68 years old, sex ratio was M/F 56%/44%, performance status was lower than 2 in 73.1% of patients, AML subtype was "De novo" in 71.5%, "secondary" in 22.4%, and "therapy-related" in 6.0% of patients. Intensive chemotherapy was used in 53.0% of patients, and non-intensive chemotherapy in 40.6% of patients. Molecular analysis was available in a large majority of patients and the main mutations found were NPM1 (22.7%), DNMT3A (17.4%), TP53 (13.1%), TET2 (12.4%), and FLT3-ITD (12.4%). RESULTS: In our findings, the comparison of overall survival between the three prognostic groups in the global cohort was statistically significant in all classifiers: ELN 2017 p < 0.0001, ELN 2022 p < 0.0001, ALFA classifier p < 0.0001, Papaemmanuil classifier p < 0.0001, Lindsley classifier p = 0.001. ELN 2017, ELN 2022, ALFA classifier, Papaemmanuil classifier, and Lindsley classifier were calculated respectively in 99%, 99%, 89%, 90%, and 89% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Using Akaike's information criteria (AIC) to compare all five classifiers, ELN 2022 is the best classifier into younger and older patients and for prognosis.

The spectrum of childhood leukemia predisposition syndromes has grown significantly over last decades. These predisposition syndromes mainly involve CEBPA, ETV6, GATA2, IKZF1, PAX5, RUNX1, SAMD9/SAMD9L, TP53, RAS-MAPK pathway, DNA mismatch repair system genes, genes associated with Fanconi anemia, and trisomy 21. The clinico-biological features leading to the suspicion of a leukemia predisposition are highly heterogeneous and require varied exploration strategies. The study of the initial characteristics of childhood leukemias includes high-throughput sequencing techniques, which have increased the frequency of situations where a leukemia predisposing syndrome is suspected. Identification of a leukemia predisposition syndrome can have a major impact on the choice of chemotherapy, the indication for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and screening for associated malformations and pathologies. The diagnosis of a predisposition syndrome can also lead to the exploration of family members and genetic counseling. Diagnosis and management should be based on dedicated and multidisciplinary care networks.

BACKGROUND: Lenalidomide is the standard of care for patients who are transfusion dependent with chromosome 5q deletion (del[5q]) myelodysplastic syndromes. In the SintraREV trial, we aimed to investigate whether an early intervention of low lenalidomide doses for 2 years could delay transfusion dependency in patients with anaemia who were not transfusion dependent. METHODS: This randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 22 sites (University Hospitals) in Spain, France, and Germany. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older diagnosed with low-risk or intermediate-1-risk del(5q) myelodysplastic syndromes with non-transfusion-dependent anaemia (according to the IPSS), were erythropoietin-stimulating agents naive, and had an ECOG performance status of 2 or less. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) by means of a telephone system to receive lenalidomide 5 mg daily in 28-day cycles versus placebo for 2 years. The primary endpoint was time to transfusion dependency based on blinded independent central review. Analysis were by intent-to-treat (ITT) and evaluable population. Safety analyses included all participants who received at least one dose of treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01243476) and EudraCT (2009-013619-36) and is complete. FINDINGS: Between Feb 15, 2010, and Feb 21, 2018, 61 patients were randomly assigned to receive lenalidomide (n=40; two did not receive treatment) or placebo (n=21). The median age was 72·2 (IQR 65·4-81·9) years, 50 (82%) patients were female, and 11 (18%) were male. The median follow-up time was 60·6 (IQR 32·1-73·9) months. Regarding primary endpoint, median time to transfusion dependency was not reached (95% CI not applicable) in the lenalidomide group versus 11·6 months (95% CI 0·00-30·11) in the placebo group (p=0·0027). Lenalidomide significantly reduced the risk of transfusion dependency by 69·8% (hazard ratio 0·302, 95% CI 0·132-0·692; p=0·0046). The most frequent treatment-related adverse event was neutropenia, occurring in 24 (63%) of 38 patients in the lenalidomide group (grade 3 and 4 in 17 [45%] patients and one [3%], respectively) and in four (19%) of 21 patients in the placebo group (grade 3 in one [5%] patient). Thrombocytopenia was detected in seven (18%) of 38 patients receiving lenalidomide (grade 3 in two [5%] patients). Regarding the non-haematological toxicity, skin disorders (rash nine [23%] of 38 patients) were the most frequently described toxicities among patients receiving lenalidomide, being grade 3 in one (3%) of 38 patients. 19 serious adverse events were reported in 13 patients, 18 in the lenalidomide group and one in the placebo group, five of which were potentially related to the study drug. No treatment-related deaths were identified. INTERPRETATION: An early approach with low doses of lenalidomide across two years delays the time to transfusion dependency and improves the rate and quality of the responses, with a manageable safety profile in patients who are non-transfusion dependent with del(5q) low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.

BACKGROUND: Deletions and partial losses of chromosome 7 (chr7) are frequent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are linked to dismal outcome. However, the genomic landscape and prognostic impact of concomitant genetic aberrations remain incompletely understood. METHODS: To discover genetic lesions in adult AML patients with aberrations of chromosome 7 [abn(7)], 60 paired diagnostic/remission samples were investigated by whole-exome sequencing in the exploration cohort. Subsequently, a gene panel including 66 genes and a SNP backbone for copy-number variation detection was designed and applied to the remaining samples of the validation cohort. In total, 519 patients were investigated, of which 415 received intensive induction treatment, typically containing a combination of cytarabine and anthracyclines. RESULTS: In the exploration cohort, the most frequently mutated gene was TP53 (33%), followed by epigenetic regulators (DNMT3A, KMT2C, IDH2) and signaling genes (NRAS, PTPN11). Thirty percent of 519 patients harbored ≥ 1 mutation in genes located in commonly deleted regions of chr7-most frequently affecting KMT2C (16%) and EZH2 (10%). KMT2C mutations were often subclonal and enriched in patients with del(7q), de novo or core-binding factor AML (45%). Cancer cell fraction analysis and reconstruction of mutation acquisition identified TP53 mutations as mainly disease-initiating events, while del(7q) or -7 appeared as subclonal events in one-third of cases. Multivariable analysis identified five genetic lesions with significant prognostic impact in intensively treated AML patients with abn(7). Mutations in TP53 and PTPN11 (11%) showed the strongest association with worse overall survival (OS, TP53: hazard ratio [HR], 2.53 [95% CI 1.66-3.86]; P < 0.001; PTPN11: HR, 2.24 [95% CI 1.56-3.22]; P < 0.001) and relapse-free survival (RFS, TP53: HR, 2.3 [95% CI 1.25-4.26]; P = 0.008; PTPN11: HR, 2.32 [95% CI 1.33-4.04]; P = 0.003). By contrast, IDH2-mutated patients (9%) displayed prolonged OS (HR, 0.51 [95% CI 0.30-0.88]; P = 0.0015) and durable responses (RFS: HR, 0.5 [95% CI 0.26-0.96]; P = 0.036). CONCLUSION: This work unraveled formerly underestimated genetic lesions and provides a comprehensive overview of the spectrum of recurrent gene mutations and their clinical relevance in AML with abn(7). KMT2C mutations are among the most frequent gene mutations in this heterogeneous AML subgroup and warrant further functional investigation.

Despite recent refinements in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of CEBPA mutations in AML, several questions remain open, i.e. implications of different types of basic region leucin zipper (bZIP) mutations, the role of co-mutations and the allelic state. Using pooled primary data analysis on 1010 CEBPA-mutant adult AML patients, a comparison was performed taking into account the type of mutation (bZIP: either typical in-frame insertion/deletion (InDel) mutations (bZIPInDel), frameshift InDel or nonsense mutations inducing translational stop (bZIPSTOP) or single base-pair missense alterations (bZIPms), and transcription activation domain (TAD) mutations) and the allelic state (single (smCEBPA) vs. double mutant (dmCEBPA)). Only bZIPInDel patients had significantly higher rates of complete remission and longer relapse free and overall survival (OS) compared with all other CEBPA-mutant subgroups. Moreover, co-mutations in bZIPInDel patients (e.g. GATA2, FLT3, WT1 as well as ELN2022 adverse risk aberrations) had no independent impact on OS, whereas in non-bZIPInDel patients, grouping according to ELN2022 recommendations added significant prognostic information. In conclusion, these results demonstrate bZIPInDel mutations to be the major independent determinant of outcome in CEBPA-mutant AML, thereby refining current classifications according to WHO (including all dmCEBPA and smCEBPA bZIP) as well as ELN2022 and ICC recommendations (including CEBPA bZIPms).
