FLT3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is involved in regulating proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Although the label indication for gilteritinib is as a single agent we have never used it as a single agent but always in combination with either HMA alone, venetoclax alone or as a triplet with HMA and venetoclax. G Nagel 2017 Epidemiological, genetic, and clinical characterization by age of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia based on an academic population-based registry study (AMLSG BiO) Ann. Although the presence of FLT3-ITD, as well as levels of the FLT3-ITD allelic ratio, have been described as prognostic factors in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), little is known about how the FLT3-ITD allelic ratio impacts patients’ outcomes when receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Informed consent was a requisite for patients alive at the time of data lock (January 2019). and JavaScript. J. Hematol. PubMed 1). 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. DNA quantification was performed with a Nanodrop (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham,MA) or Qubitfluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Multivariate analysis showed that age < 65 years, FLT3-ITD and CEBPA bZIP in-frame mutation were independent prognostic factors. To test the prognostic significance of the ITD length and its clinical applicability, we used recurrent previously published cutoffs, which were analyzed in series ranging from 28 to 100 intensively treated patients. and P.M. Blood Cancer J. Acta Haematol. J. Hematol. Clinical outcome stratified according to the FLT3-ITD length (cutoff 70bp) for all patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. This value highlights the scarce prognostic value of the measure. The AR was determined by fragment length analysis and calculated as previously described32. FLT3 -ITD and FLT3 point mutations show a gain-of-function phenotype with distinct signalling properties in vitro. Mutations of SF3B1, EZH2 and WT1 seem to be a more ancestral event than FLT3 mutations, as expected, given the VAF of the genes. Additionally, different subdomains of TKD1 (HR or beta1-sheet) have been highlighted as those conferring an adverse outcome10. FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations were correlated, and the favorable prognostic impact of being FLT3-ITD negative and NPM1 mutation positive was evident only in patients aged 65 years or more. Our treatment approach for FLT3mut AML in MD Anderson Cancer Center is as follows: in newly diagnosed patients who are eligible to receive intensive chemotherapy (Fig. recently presented the first triplet combination of venetoclax, FLT3i (mainly gilteritinib or sorafenib), and decitabine from the FLT3mut subset of the prospective decitabine 10 days with venetoclax study (NCT03404193)54. Quizartinib demonstrated an OS of 6.2 months compared with 4.7 months with salvage chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.76 and P=0.02). None of the studies has carried out an internal ITD length cutoff validation by dividing the patients into a training cohort and a validation cohort, which, given the arbitrary selection of the cutoffs used, would be necessary.

Recurrent somatic internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene characterise approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and FLT3-ITD mutation status guides risk-adapted treatment strategies.The aim of this work was to characterise FLT3-ITD variant distribution in relation to molecular and clinical features, and overall survival in . Correspondence to Yamamoto, Y. et al. SORAML, a randomized placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of 3+7 induction-consolidation with or without sorafenib in patients 60 years with newly diagnosed AML, irrespective of a FLT3mut (only 34% had FLT3mut).

Oncol. Alotaibi, A. S. et al. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in acute myeloid leukemia and is associated with worse clinical outcome. It is important to note that none of these patients received a FLT3 inhibitor (FLT3i) during induction, consolidation, or post-ASCT. FLT3 -ITD has a poor prognostic impact in patients with AML at diagnosis. Perl and colleagues investigated whether prior FLT3i therapy influenced outcomes in patients treated with gilteritinib.

Clonal selection with RAS pathway activation mediates secondary clinical resistance to selective FLT3 inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia. These data suggests that although responses may still be achieved with gilteritinib in patients refractory to prior first-generation FLT3i-based therapies, optimization with doublet or triplet combinations with second-generation FLT3i is likely needed to significantly improve OS with prior TKI exposure. All samples investigated in this study were obtained at the time of diagnosis. Clinical outcome stratified according to the FLT3-ITD length (cutoff 39bp) for all patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. N. Engl. volume11, Articlenumber:20745 (2021) In the R/R setting, the CRc rate was 64% (n=18/28) with a median OS of 12.0 months, with responses observed even in prior FLT3i exposed patients48. Informed consent was a requisite for patients alive at the time of data lock (January 2019). KaplanMeier analysis and log-rank tests were employed to compare different groups.We also carried out an additional OS analysis censoring patients at the time of allo-HSCT. Naval Daver. Quizartinib is also being evaluated in combination with CPX-351 (NCT04209725) and with CLIA (NCT04047641) in treatment naive and R/R FLT3mut AML. While the seven patients treated with the doublet had a CRc rate of 57% (n=4/7) and a median OS of 5.7 months, the fifteen R/R FLT3mut AML patients treated with the triplet had a CRc rate of 81% (n=11) with a projected 1-year OS of 60%. It is mutated in about 1/3 of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, either by internal tandem duplications (ITD) of the juxtamembrane domain or by point mutations usually involving the kinase domain (KD). Quizartinib with Decitabine+/Venetoclax is Highly Active in Patients (Pts) with FLT3-ITD Mutated (mut) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Clinical Report and Signaling Cytof Profiling from a Phase IB/II Trial (ASH, 2020). The median OS was 2.3years (CI: 1.03.6), 1.4years (CI: 1.01.8), 1.1years (CI: 0.81.3) and 1.0years (CI: 0.31.8), respectively (P=0.9). Hematol. Stratified KaplanMeier analysis was also employed with the AR and genetic risk, following 2010 ELN guidelines21, as classifiers of the patients. The first-generation FLT3is lack specificity for FLT3 and inhibit multiple downstream RTKs that may result in more off-target toxicities. Previously published cutoffs of ITD length, reported in more than one publication(i.e., 39bp and 70bp), were tested to check their applicability in our cohort. Due to the preliminary nature of the . Our median ITD length was 48bp (range=3bp to 231bp), similar to previous studies12,14,17. Pulmonary infiltration and acute pneumonitis-like picture are rare (<1%) but noted side effects of midostaurin that treating physicians should be aware of. Progr. Samples from 118 of the 362 AML patients with FLT3-ITDmutations were analyzed with an NGS panel of 39 genes (see Supplementary Fig. 2). Midostaurin is a type I FLT3i active against PDGFR, KIT, SRC, and other RTKs22,23. Phase I/II study of combination therapy with sorafenib, idarubicin, and cytarabine in younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Google Scholar. Perl, A. E. et al. 2B). Cancer Discov. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) internal tandem duplications of the FLT3 gene ( FLT3- ITD) are associated with poor prognosis. The NPM1/FLT3-ITD patients had normal karyotypes. Although activity was seen, the response rates were overall modest with this combination and the combination of HMA with midostaurin is not one that we routinely use or recommend for frontline FLT3-mutated AML47. Given the heterogeneity of treatments received and the scarce number of ISs in TKD1, we did not perform statistical analysis. (5) No data regarding minimal residual disease (MRD) were available in our cohort, and MRD data could be interesting to analyze in future studies. These data highlight the potent anti-leukemic activity of the triplet approach in FLT3mut AML. In the FLT3-ITDLOW group of patients, the median OS was 2.3years (CI: 1.13.6), and in the FLT3-ITDHIGH group of patients, the median OS was 1.1years (CI: 0.71.5).

These mutations arearranged in increasing order by FLT3-ITD length. AR, allelic ratio. FLT3-ITD is located within exon 14, corresponding to JMD, in 70% of AML patients, while 30% of ITDs span exon 15, corresponding to the TKD1 domain. Br. However, previous studies have shown that FLT3/ITD mutation was not an independent adverse prognostic factor in DEK/CAN-positive AML patients. Age-dependent frequencies of NPM1 mutations and FLT3-ITD in patients with normal karyotype AML (NK-AML). Despite the encouraging development of FLT3i, resistance to FLT3i is not uncommon and it can be either primary or secondary. N. Engl. An analysis of OS censoring at the time of allo-HSCT did not yield significant results (data not shown).A stratified analysis of FLT3-ITD length on the basis ofthe AR was performed in 140 patients (AR<0.5 and ITD<39bp, n=17; AR<0.5 and ITD39bp, n=41; AR>0.5 and ITD<39bp, n=23; AR>0.5 and ITD39bp, n=59). These combinations appear to improve the efficacy over single agent gilteritinib and could be considered if there is expertise in using such an approach, For patients relapsing while on gilteritinib or soon after gilteritinib based therapy a combination of azacitidine with sorafenib or azacitinde with venetoclax or gemtuzumab based approaches may be considered as salvage options (with clinical trials being clearly the best option if available). Collectively, NPM1mut even with FLT3-ITDmut AR <0.5 are likely higher risk than truly favorable risk AML and we continue to consider them for ASCT in CR1. prospectively evaluated decitabine and quizartinib (doublet) with or without venetoclax (triplet) in patients with newly diagnosed and R/R FLT3-ITDmut AML.

Conclusion: The frequency of NPM1/FLT3 mutations in the study cohort showed less rate than in other studies with a distinct pattern. Front. We identified 1572 adult (age 18 year) patients with NPM1-mutated AML in first complete remission (CR1:78%) or . FLT3-ITD length was compared between mutation and wild-type groups for each of the 39 genes using a MannWhitney test. Monotherapy with selective FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown transient and limited efficacy due to the development of resistance. Absence of FLT3-ITD mutation 0.07 . The . CAS Complete response (CR) or complete responses with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) were defined according to current 2017 ELN guidelines8. Commun.

We continue the venetoclax and FLT3i until Day 21 if the Day 14 bone marrow shows >5% blasts with >/=5% cellularity. Because the comutation of DNMT3A (DNMT3A(mut)) has been suggested to negatively influence prognosis in AMLNPM1, we analyzed the impact of DNMT3A(mut) in FLT3-ITD subsets (absent, low, and high ratios). 7+37 days of cytarabine and 3 days of daunorubicin. J. Med. FLT3-ITD mutational load, expressed as an AR determined by fragment length analysis, has a clear prognostic value and is, therefore, included in the genetic prognostic classification of the European Leukemia Net (ELN) published in 20178. An analysis of OS censoring at the time of allo-HSCT did not yield significant results (data not shown). Clinical trial enrollment (if available) is always the first option, in both frontline and R/R FLT3mut AML. Sorafenib combined with 5-azacytidine in older patients with untreated FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia. However, in addition to QTcF prolongation, quizartinib is also more myelosuppressive than many other FLT3 inhibitors likely due to the inhibition of KIT. Log in with Facebook Log in with Google. Any variant allele frequency data were reported rarely. Haematologica (2021). Our study has several limitations: (1) Our patients were selected from an observational registry, which can be interpreted as a limitation given the heterogeneity of treatments or as a strength because our data are thereby more similar to those observed in real-life clinical practice than those derived from a clinical trial26,27.

Interestingly, their prognostic effect had a strong dependence on age: FLT3 ITD indicated poor survival in younger patients (<60 years; P = .00003), but had no effect in older patients (60-74 years; P = .5), whereas NPM1 mut indicated better survival in older patients ( P = .00002), but not in younger patients ( P = .95).

Article Among patients treated with gilteritinib, the median overall survival was similar among those with FLT3 ITD mutations alone (9.3 months) and those with FLT3 TKD mutations alone (8.0 months). Blood Cancer Discov. In another randomized phase III study comparing post-ASCT sorafenib maintenance (n=100) to non-maintenance (n=102), sorafenib demonstrated an improved 1-year OS (82.1% vs 68%, P=0.012) and a decreased 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse (7% vs 24.5%, P=0.001) in FLT3-ITDmut AML patients undergoing ASCT in CR143. 93, E202E205 (2018). "For patients with AML, the 5-year survival rate is only about 29%," said Dr. Erba.
