MRD detection in AML leverages cutoff points garnered from various detection methods include flow cytometry or real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (pCR). Nevertheless, there are numerous and contradictory manuscripts regarding the prognostic importance of the length and insertion site of the ITD fragment. In the QuANTUM-R and ADMIRAL trials, only 4% and 12% of patients had received prior FLT3i therapy with induction, making it difficult to draw conclusions regarding the outcomes of contemporary patients, most of whom will have received a FLT3i (commonly midostaurin) with induction36,40. J. Clinl. DiNardo, C. D. et al. 368, 20592074 (2013). @Repeat a C1 D28 bone marrow on all patients to confirm remission. Patients with NPM1-/FLT3- showed complex karyotype (24%) and t(8;21) (8%). N.

Article The UKMRC group evaluated the presence of NPM1 co-mutations in young adult patients with AML. In the last 25years, advances in molecular techniques have allowed a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of AML and the subsequent development of targeted therapies and a more refined prognostic classification based on the genetic features of the disease2,3. Lancet Oncol. or. The length of the 362 ITDs ranged from 3 to 201bp, with a median ITD length of 48bp.The distribution of ITD length can be observed in Supplementary Fig. Xuan, L. et al. Venetoclax, FLT3 Inhibitor and Decitabine in FLT3mut Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Subgroup Analysis of a Phase II Trial (ASH, 2020). The impact of prognostic factors may change as the AML treatment landscape evolves. Regarding ITD length, some authors have found that patients with shorter ITD lengths have more favorable outcomes11,12 or worse prognoses13, while other researchers did not find a prognostic relationship14. Lancet Oncol. Perl, A. E. et al. J. Med. 17, 721749 (2019). Similarly, the median ITD length in three patients with EZH2mutations was 26bp vs 48bp in the wild-type group (n=65) (P=0.031). Correspondence to Slider with three articles shown per slide. and P.M.; Supervision, J.M.A. Multivariate analysis showed that age < 65 years, FLT3-ITD and CEBPA bZIP in-frame mutation were independent prognostic factors. On the other hand, we obtained a value (0.52) that was close to significant in the analysis of the prognostic impact of the FLT3-ITD AR according to the 2017 ELN cutoff8. 5, 6 The FLT3 gene is a member of the class III receptor tyrosine kinase family, including c-kit, c-fms, and the platelet-derived growth factor receptors. All four patients with ITD insertions in TKD1 had mutations in DNTM3A, compared with 39 out of 96 patients (41%) with ITD insertions in the JMD domain (P=0.031). We observed a low frequency of NPM1 mutation (10.1%), which correlated with the good prognosis of this mutation. N. Engl. Posterior reversible encephalopathy and pancreatitis are rare (<12%) but important side effects to be aware of. In a study that identified molecular mechanisms of resistance to gilteritinib, 32% of patients had emergent mutations in the RAS/MAPK pathway (K/NRAS), and 5% had emergent BCR/ABL1 fusions71. Front. In the treatment-naive setting, the median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery among responders was 45 and 30 days, respectively, suggesting cumulative myelosuppression is to be expected and further optimization of triplets schedules is ongoing55. Midostaurin is a type I FLT3i active against PDGFR, KIT, SRC, and other RTKs22,23.

"FLT3 is a particularly nasty version of the disease," Levis said. evaluated the impact of AR in 323 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDmut AML. Schlenk et al. *C1 D14: Perform bone marrow biopsy; if bone marrow shows <5% blasts and/or <5% cellularity/insufficient sampleStop venetoclax and FLT3i on D14. However, previous studies have shown that FLT3/ITD mutation was not an independent adverse prognostic factor in DEK/CAN-positive AML patients. 2018 Oct 23;2 (20):2744-2754. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2018020305. Blood 132, 598607 (2018). While both FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations are common in AML with a normal karyotype, these mutations are also identified in AML with various karyotypic abnormalities. 5).The study protocol was conducted following the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research of the Hospital UniversitarioFundacin Jimnez Daz (PIC169-18_FJD). FLT3 -ITD was a poor prognostic factor in both age groups, but the favorable prognostic impact of NPM1 was more evident in patients aged 65 years or more. Although poor prognosis in AML is only associated with FLT3-ITD, all activating FLT3 mutations can contribute to leukemogenesis and are thus potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Due to the preliminary nature of the . FLT3 testing was historically viewed as being purely prognostic; however, with the advent of FLT3 inhibitors, it will likely be seen as both prognostic and predictive. Flow diagram showing all AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations in the study period between 2003 and 2019 on the basis of genetic data and treatment administered. The prognostic value of a FLT3 mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain (FLT3-TKD), which has a lower incidence in AML (approximately 7-10% of all cases), is uncertain. However, in addition to QTcF prolongation, quizartinib is also more myelosuppressive than many other FLT3 inhibitors likely due to the inhibition of KIT. Am. Moreover, ASCT in CR1 only benefitted patients with isolated FLT3-ITDmut (without NPM1mut) irrespective of AR (P<0.05)21. Although the toxicity-related discontinuation rate was low (22%), sorafenib-treated patients did experience higher rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and skin toxicity42. Am. T.C. J. Hematol. Quizartinib demonstrated an OS of 6.2 months compared with 4.7 months with salvage chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.76 and P=0.02). Brinton, L. T. et al. Sorafenib maintenance in patients with FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukaemia undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation: an open-label, multicentre, randomised phase 3 trial. Gilteritinib, a second-generation type I FLT3i demonstrated tolerability with CRc rates of 4555% in patients with R/R FLT3 (ITD or TKD)mut AML38,39. Changes in FLT3 mutation status can occur during the course of disease, but the clinical impact of a change is unclear. The CRc rates (47%) were similar between both doses, and the frequency of QTcF >500ms was significantly reduced (35%) with these lower doses of quizartinib35. Prevalence and Effect Evaluation of FLT3 and NPM1 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Eastern Algeria . Sorafenib combined with 5-azacytidine in older patients with untreated FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia. In fact, every quartile increase in FLT3-ITD AR (from 0.01 to 0.20, 0.20 to 0.53, 0.53 to 0.80, 0.80 to 1.19) was associated with worsening complete remission (CR) rates, RFS, and OS, highlighting the prognostic value of AR. However, these studies did not apply previously validated ITD length cutoffs obtained in other smaller series11,15,16,17. FLT3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase with important roles in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell survival and proliferation. FLT3 is a gene change, or mutation, in leukemia (blood cancer) cells. Nevertheless, the short duration of remission with single-agent FLT3is in R/R FLT3mut AML in the absence of ASCT, limited options in patients refractory to gilteritinib therapy, and diverse primary and secondary mechanisms of resistance to different FLT3is remain ongoing challenges that compel the development and rapid implementation of multi-agent combinatorial or sequential therapies for FLT3mut AML. Timothy, J. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. In patients with concurrent NPM1mut, the OS and relapse risk were comparable between FLT3 wild-type and FLT3-ITDmut AR <0.5, but worse when AR 0.5. We further compared the survival of patients with FLT3-ITD and those with FLT3-D835 mutation in the Positive/Positive and Negative/Positive groups (Figure 3). Blood 135, 791803 (2020). Genomic and epigenomic landscapes of adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia. The LACEWING phase III randomized trial evaluated gilteritinib with azacitidine vs azacitidine monotherapy (NCT02752035) in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML not eligible for intensive induction chemotherapy.

Oncol. 18, 10611075 (2017). evaluated midostaurin with azacitidine in patients with both newly diagnosed and R/R AML regardless of FLT3 mutational status. FLT3-ITD is a constitutively activated variant of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase receptor. We aimed to shed light on the prognostic importance of theFLT3-ITD length and site of insertion by validating previously suggested sites of insertion and thresholds of ITD length. Sci Rep 11, 20745 (2021). Two cases with an NPM1 mut missense each occurred concomitant with type-A mutation. Minetto and colleagues retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine, and idarubicin (FAI) in 149 newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDmut and/or NPM1mut AML (only FLT3-ITDmut=29; FLT3-ITDmut NPM1mut=59, only NPM1mut=61). Precision Medicine in Myeloid Malignancies: Hype or Hope? Two randomized trials are evaluating the addition of gilteritinib vs midostaurin to induction and consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML44 (NCT04027309, NCT03836209). Secondary resistance to FLT3i could be either on-target (changes in the FLT3) or off-target (constitutive activation of non-FLT3-dependent oncogenic pathways). Am. Information regarding the ITD insertion site and mutational status of another 38 genes recurrently mutated in myeloid neoplasms was available in 106 and 118 patients, respectively. Yilmaz et al. S1. Remember me on this computer. CAS Netw. Type I FLT3is like gilteritinib are less prone to develop secondary mutations in the TKD, although the gatekeeper F691M can confer resistance to gilteritinib71.

Venetoclax Added to Cladribine, Idarubicin, and Cytarabine with or without a FLT3 Inhibitor in Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (EHA, 2020). FLT3 mutation and all but one patient died shortly after FLT3 mutation was acquired. In the frontline setting, there was a sequential decrease in CRc rates (77%31%25%) and OS (16.76.01.4 months). Alotaibi, A. S. et al. We studied theFLT3-ITD length of 362 adult AML patients included in the PETHEMA AML registry. Article The data described in the literature alongside the results that we have obtained regarding ITD mutation lead us to believe that future studies should focus on the functional characterization of the protein products of the mutated genes. F.R. Patients were classified into four therapeutic groups according to the first-line approach: intensive chemotherapy (IC), n=161; non-intensive therapy, n=43; clinical trial, n=15; and best supportive care (BSC) only, n=7. Google Scholar. J. Med. Second-generation FLT3is potently and specifically target FLT3 with fewer off-target effects. The clinical behavior and genetic characteristics of the disease are heterogeneous1. Besides FLT3-ITD MRD, only a high white blood cell count and late CR appeared to be independently associated with relapse and OS. Given the heterogeneity of treatments received and the scarce number of ISs in TKD1, we did not perform statistical analysis. Prognostication refinement in NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia stratified by FLT3-ITD status with different induction doses of cytarabine. Nakao, M. et al.

Recently, a double-blind placebo-controlled study reported a trend toward improved OS but not EFS with sorafenib combined with intensive chemotherapy in the frontline setting, especially among those with high FLT3-ITDmut AR >0.730. Phase 2 study of azacytidine plus sorafenib in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and FLT-3 internal tandem duplication mutation. As we have already explained, our main goal was to validate two previous recurrently applied cutoffs: 39bp and 70bp. Sorafenib with azacitidine combination reported an overall response rate (ORR) of 78% (n=27) in the frontline patients not eligible for intensive induction31 and an ORR of 46% with an acceptable safety profile in R/R FLT3-ITDmut 32 which led to the inclusion of sorafenib with azacitidine combination as a 2B guideline in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) for R/R FLT3-ITDmut AML33. 5 e336, S-B Liu 2019 Impact of FLT3-ITD length on prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia Haematologica 104 e9 e12, X Jiang 2018 Influence of FLT3-ITD mutation and length on the treatment response and prognosis in cytogenetically normal AML patients Blood 132 5245 5245, C Allen 2013 The importance of relative mutant level for evaluating impact on outcome of KIT, FLT3 and CBL mutations in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia Leukemia 27 1891 1901, X Quan J Deng 2020 Core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia: Advances in the heterogeneity of KIT, FLT3, and RAS mutations (Review) Mol.

Conceptualization, T.C., J.M.A., E.B. Linch, D. C., Hills, R. K., Burnett, A. K., Khwaja, A. The FLT3-ITD AR was available in 140 intensively treated patients. Oncol. FLT3-TKD activating mutations also constitutively activate FLT311; however, they have not been associated with a consistent prognostic impact12. Burnett, A. K., Russell, N. H. & Hills, R. K. Group obotUKNCRIAMLS. Our median ITD length was 48bp (range=3bp to 231bp), similar to previous studies12,14,17. Due to this, the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) blocking FLT3-ITD became a rational therapeutic concept. No statistically significant differences were found (P=0.4) (Fig. Among 38 patients with FLT3mut AML who received gilteritinib 120mg daily, the CRc rate was 81.6% (n=31) including 39.5% CR and median OS was not reached at a median follow-up of 35.8 months. Dhner, H. et al. More studies will be necessary to confirm these results and to shed light on the possible physiopathologic relationship. Mutations of the fms-tyrosine kinase ( FLT3) were first described in 1997 4 and account for the most frequent molecular mutations in AML. A total of 164 patients diagnosed with AML-NPM1 included in 2 consecutive CETLAM protocols and with DNMT3A and FLT3 status available were studied. The study protocol was conducted following the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research of the Hospital UniversitarioFundacin Jimnez Daz (PIC169-18_FJD).
