6,, - 9 In normal bone marrow, FLT3 expression is Additionally, the area under the ROC curve, which serves as an indicator of the diagnostic capacity of the ITD length as a whole, was 0.504. evaluated the impact of AR in 323 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDmut AML. Sci Rep 11, 20745 (2021). FLT3 -ITD has a poor prognostic impact in patients with AML at diagnosis. In those patients with more than one ITD mutation, only the longest mutation was selected for statistical analysis (10 patients had>1 ITD mutation). The impact of prognostic factors may change as the AML treatment landscape evolves. Hematol. Clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia treated with gilteritinib who received prior midostaurin or sorafenib. Get the most important science stories of the day, free in your inbox. 94, 984991 (2019). Despite the encouraging development of FLT3i, resistance to FLT3i is not uncommon and it can be either primary or secondary. Type I FLT3is are active against both the FLT3-ITD or TKD, type II inhibitors are only active against FLT3-ITD, not TKD. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) internal tandem duplications of the FLT3 gene ( FLT3- ITD) are associated with poor prognosis. . 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). After post-remission therapy with either consolidation (high-dose cytarabine-based) or allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT), AR 0.51 and FLT3-ITD insertion site in TKD1 were associated with an unfavorable RFS (P=0.0008) and OS (P=0.004)15. Cite this article. Upon achieving CR, the decision for ASCT is based on the risk-benefit assessment for ASCT. The first-generation FLT3is lack specificity for FLT3 and inhibit multiple downstream RTKs that may result in more off-target toxicities. Figure legend Overall survival of patients with AML following frontline venetoclax plus hypomethylating agent Burchert, A. et al. Google Scholar. Clinical outcome stratified according to the FLT3-ITD length (cutoff 39bp) for all patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. Linch, D. C., Hills, R. K., Burnett, A. K., Khwaja, A. Metzelder, S. et al. Daver, N., Venugopal, S. & Ravandi, F. FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia: 2021 treatment algorithm. 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. More recently, the emergence of BCR-ABL1-positive clone was shown as a resistance mechanism to multiple FLT3is72. These data highlight the potent anti-leukemic activity of the triplet approach in FLT3mut AML. The two leading types of FLT3 mutations found in AML include internal tandem duplications in the juxtamembrane domain (ITD, 17-34%) and mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) activation loop (~7%) ( 1 ). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-00050-x. The size of our cohort was larger than those of the studies published using these cutoffs. Final results of the chrysalis trial: a first-in-human phase 1/2 dose-escalation, dose-expansion study of gilteritinib (ASP2215) in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Off-target resistance includes clonal evolution during FLT3i therapy even when FLT3-ITDmut clone is lost70.

The sorafenib treatment arm had increased rates of adverse events, particularly diarrhea, bleeding, cardiac events, hand-foot-skin reaction, and rash but with no significant increase in the 30- or 60-day mortality between the two treatment arms. FLT3 is a gene change, or mutation, in leukemia (blood cancer) cells. Burnett, A. K., Russell, N. H. & Hills, R. K. Group obotUKNCRIAMLS. A Conventional approach. In general, quizartinib is well tolerated with minimal skin, gastrointestinal, or pulmonary side effects. PubMed Password. N. Engl. Patients with an ITD fragment39bp or70bp had a significant reduction in OS and RFS in some of these studies, but we were unable to validate these findings11,15,16,17. This result is similar to the RATIFY study, in which 44% of patients lost FLT3 ITD under treatment with midostaurin 36. Perl, A. E. et al. 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. Moreover, we performed an analysis of the correlation of FLT3-ITD length and insertion sites with the mutational landscape of AML, which has not been carried out thus far. 2, 3 There are two types of FLT3 mutation, internal tandem duplication of FLT3 ( FLT3-ITD) and tyrosine kinase An analysis of OS censoring at the time of allo-HSCT did not yield significant results (data not shown). 28, 1856 (2010). Abhishek Maiti, M. D. et al. Email. Unfortunately, in our study, information on the site of insertion was not available in the whole cohort, and few patients harbored a TKD1 insertion.We did not carry out a statistical analysis of the insertion site given the heterogeneity in the treatment of patients analyzed and the small number of patients with an ITD inserted in the TKD1 domain. Leukemia 26, 23532359 (2012). Google Scholar. FLT3-TKD activating mutations also constitutively activate FLT311; however, they have not been associated with a consistent prognostic impact12. Prognostic analyses were performed using the 70bp cutoff in 161 AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations treated with IC (<70bp; n=119,70bp; n=42). In our case, 15 AML prognostic genes including FLT3/ITD gene were all negative. (C) OS according to the FLT3-ITD length and allelic ratio. Cancer 51 910 924, AT Cohen S Goto K Schreiber C Torp-Pedersen 2015 Why do we need observational studies of everyday patients in the real-life setting? Midostaurin has been approved and widely used in combination with induction and consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML25. Mutations of SF3B1, EZH2 and WT1 seem to be a more ancestral event than FLT3 mutations, as expected, given the VAF of the genes. Conclusion: The frequency of NPM1/FLT3 mutations in the study cohort showed less rate than in other studies with a distinct pattern. Due to the preliminary nature of the .

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. FLT3 mutations occur in more than 30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are associated with short relapse-free and overall survival, including internal tandem duplication (ITD) and point mutations within the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) [1, 2].To date, multiple FLT3 kinase inhibitors have been developed and some are approved for clinical use including sorafenib, Quizartinib . To mitigate prolonged myelosuppression with the triplet and avoid over-treatment, we perform an early bone marrow assessment on Cycle 1 Day 14 (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.

"FLT3 is a particularly nasty version of the disease," Levis said. Gale, R. E. et al. 95, 218223 (1996). However, other studies did not find significantly worse clinical outcomes in patients with non-JMD ITD mutations24,25. PubMed Authors Google Scholar. Accumulating evidence have shown improved outcomes in FLT3-ITDmut patients receiving induction with higher dose anthracyclines57, cladribine58, or fludarabine added to induction backbone21, and incorporating FLT3i with induction (either first or second generation) in FLT3mut AML24,44,59,60 (Fig. 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. (C) OS according to the FLT3-ITD length and allelic ratio. NPM1, FLT3-ITD, CEBPA, and c-kit mutations in 312 Chinese patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia. FLT3 activating mutations (FLT3mut) may involve either the juxta membrane domain [internal tandem duplication mutations (FLT3-ITD)]4 or the tyrosine kinase domain (FLT3-TKD)5,6. Levis turned to FLT3-ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to highlight the challenges with targeted therapy. Blood 136, 810 (2020). FLT3 -ITD is a negative prognostic factor that remains prognostically relevant even after intensive chemotherapy and/or stem cell transplant. The combination of quizartinib with azacitidine or low dose cytarabine is highly active in patients (Pts) with FLT3-ITD mutated myeloid leukemias: interim report of a phase I/II trial. An FLT3/ITD mutation was present in 27% of the patients and was associated with leukocytosis and a high percentage of bone marrow blast cells (P <.001 for both). The FLT3-ITD patient had trisomy 8. Intriguingly, this was the first large study to show that the FLT3i may also benefit FLT3 wild-type patients, perhaps through multi-kinase blockade or prevention of emergent FLT3 clones at relapse28. Timothy, J. which included NPM1 mut /FLT3-ITD high AR cases. PubMed Central SORMAIN, a placebo-controlled randomized phase II trial evaluated post-transplant sorafenib maintenance in patients with FLT3-ITDmut AML with RFS post-ASCT as the primary endpoint. ABSTRACT. Therefore, only 3.8% of the patients showed an FLT3-ITD insertion in the TKD1 domain. FLT3 -ITD mutations occur in the form of a replicated sequence in the juxtamembrane domain (JMD) and/or TKD1 of the FLT3 gene. 368, 20592074 (2013). 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. Souki Cancer Research Fund and generous philanthropic contributions to the MD Anderson Moon Shots Program. J. Med. Molecular patterns of response and treatment failure after frontline venetoclax combinations in older patients with AML. Prognostic implication of FLT3 and N-RAS gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia. Ravandi, F. et al. A stratified analysis of FLT3-ITD length on the basis of the AR was performed in 140 patients (AR<0.5 and ITD<70bp, n=43; AR<0.5 and ITD70bp, n=15; AR>0.5 and ITD<70bp, n=61; AR>0.5 and ITD70bp, n=21). As we have already explained, our main goal was to validate two previous recurrently applied cutoffs: 39bp and 70bp. The impact of FLT3 internal tandem duplication mutant level, number, size, and interaction with NPM1 mutations in a large cohort of young adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Regardless of the regimen intensity, all clinical trial participants were grouped in a separate treatment category (n=15). Hematol. Whitman, S. P. et al.

We also analyzed the mutational profile of 118 FLT3-ITD AML patients with an NGS panel of 39 genes and correlated mutational status with the length and IS of ITD. Conceptualization, T.C., J.M.A., E.B. Ravandi, F. et al. The . FLT3-ITD is a common driver mutation that presents with a high leukemic burden and confers a poor prognosis in patients with AML. Regrettably, patients with information on the IS of ITD available had received different treatments: intensive chemotherapy, n=37; non-intensive therapy, n=14; clinical trials, n=6; and best supportive care, n=2. Quizartinib, a second-generation, type I FLT3i is active against FLT3, KIT, CSF1R, PDGFR, and RET kinase34. Heart J. Suppl. A Conventional approach. Therefore, in patients not eligible for intensive chemotherapy at MDACC, we prefer a combination of HMA with venetoclax and FLT3i (gilteritinib) over an HMA with venetoclax doublet (Fig. Using the same response criteria, the CRc rate was 85.4% (n=35/41) which compared favorably to 52% with gilteritinib alone in the ADMIRAL study. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles 113, 983988 (2001). Type I FLT3is like gilteritinib are less prone to develop secondary mutations in the TKD, although the gatekeeper F691M can confer resistance to gilteritinib71. Multivariate analysis showed that age < 65 years, FLT3-ITD and CEBPA bZIP in-frame mutation were independent prognostic factors. In patients with FLT3mut AML unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy, azacitidine with venetoclax demonstrated encouraging CR/CRi rates (5570%) and a median OS of 13.3 months64 which prompted the inclusion of this combination approach as part of NCCN AML guidelines (Fig. A subsequent randomized phase IIb trial evaluated lower doses, 30 or 60mg of quizartinib daily, in patients with R/R FLT3-ITDmut AML. Welch John, S. et al. Article FLT3 -ITD and FLT3 point mutations show a gain-of-function phenotype with distinct signalling properties in vitro. Blood 128, 1069 (2016). PubMedGoogle Scholar. The mutation rate of FLT3/ITD in DEK/CAN-positive AML patients is as high as 70% (8,9). FLT3-ITD has been strongly associated with a bad prognosis, leukocytosis, high blast counts, increased risk of relapse and shorter overall survival. Blood Marrow Transplant 22, 12181226 (2016). Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults. Naval Daver, Richard F. Schlenk, Mark J. Levis, Alexander E. Perl, Naoko Hosono, Jessica K.

(4) Only five patients in our cohort received treatment with midostaurin (2 in induction and 3 in consolidation treatment); therefore, we were not able to draw conclusions regarding the prognostic impact of the length of the ITD as described in previous studies29,30. 10-day decitabine with venetoclax for newly diagnosed intensive chemotherapy ineligible, and relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia: a single-centre, phase 2 trial. Scientific Reports (Sci Rep) In 40 patients (87%), the prognosis based on the ELN 2017 risk stratification algorithm did not change due to AR, whereas, in 6 patients (13%), the FLT3-ITD mutation burden was <0.5 in DNA and 0.5 in cDNA, which changed their risk stratification. 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). The median OS was 1.3years (CI: 0.71.9) and 1.4years (CI: 0.91.9), respectively (P=0.9). The combination continues to enroll. 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. T.C. The presence of FLT3-ITD mutation correlates with a high leukemic burden with increased risk of relapse and is recognized to be a driver mutation in patients with AML ( 5 ). To obtain Among 14 R/R FLT3mut AML patients, the CRc rate was 64% with FLT3-PCR negativity in 88% of responders. We aimed to assess the prognostic impact of these variables on the complete remission (CR) rates, overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) of AML patients withFLT3-ITDmutations.
