The approval of multi-kinase FLT3 inhibitor (FLT3i) midostaurin with induction therapy for newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML, and a more specific, potent FLT3i, gilteritinib as monotherapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3mut AML have improved outcomes in patients with FLT3mut AML. We observed a low frequency of NPM1 mutation (10.1%), which correlated with the good prognosis of this mutation. FLT3-ITD is a constitutively activated variant of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase receptor.

FLT3-ITD fragment length analysis was performed in seven centralized PETHEMA laboratories. Both mutations lead to the activation of downstream proliferation cascades [ 19, 20 ]. The UKMRC group evaluated the presence of NPM1 co-mutations in young adult patients with AML. Intensive chemotherapy regimens were administered to 161 patients (idarubicin+cytarabine; 3+7, n=151 and 2+5, n=8; IDA-FLAG (fludarabine+Ara-C+idarubicin), n=1 and FLAG, n=1). Monotherapy with selective FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown transient and limited efficacy due to the development of resistance. Given the heterogeneity of treatments received and the scarce number of ISs in TKD1, we did not perform statistical analysis.

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. Biol. As we have already explained, our main goal was to validate two previous recurrently applied cutoffs: 39bp and 70bp. Brinton, L. T. et al. 2A). The current European Leukemia Net (ELN) guidelines categorize FLT3 -ITDmut AML as favorable (NPM1mut with FLT3 wild-type Or NPM1mut with FLT3-ITD AR<0.5), intermediate (NPM1mut with FLT3-ITD AR>0.5 Or NPM1WT with FLT3-ITD AR<0.5), or adverse (NPM1WT with FLT3-ITD AR>0.5)18. 18, 10611075 (2017).

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.. (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. Gilteritinib or chemotherapy for relapsed or refractory FLT3-mutated AML. We obtained a P value of 0.055 in the analysis of RFS applying the 70bp cutoff. Clonal selection with RAS pathway activation mediates secondary clinical resistance to selective FLT3 inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia. Libura, M. et al. FLT3 mutation and all but one patient died shortly after FLT3 mutation was acquired. Upregulation of Bcl-2 confers resistance to FLT3 inhibition in FLT3-ITD AML with secondary acquired mutations. 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).

Outcomes with sequential FLT3-inhibitor-based therapies in patients with AML. Absence of the wild-type allele predicts poor prognosis in adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia with normal cytogenetics and the internal tandem duplication of FLT3: a cancer and leukemia group B study. PCR with fluorescently labeled primers followed by capillary electrophoresis for FLT3-ITD was performed as described elsewhere31. 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.

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. evaluated quizartinib (60mg daily) combined with either azacitidine or low-dose cytarabine in patients with newly diagnosed or R/R FLT3mut AML not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. For . Nevertheless, some thresholds have been applied in more than one study [i.e., 39bp and 70bp]11,15,16,17. The main patient and disease characteristics were collected retrospectively, including demographic characteristics (age, sex), cytomorphologic assessments confirming the AML diagnosis (according to routine site practice), cytogenetics, molecular studies, first-line treatment approach, disease response assessment and disease follow-up. Taken together, utilizing baseline FLT3-ITDmut AR to guide the post-remission therapy remains controversial. Statistically significant results were not observed for any other gene in this analysis.

Approximately 30% of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harbor mutations in the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene. 3 A Survival curves stratified by the presence or absence of FLT3 -ITD and NPM1 mutation for patients younger than 65 years. FLT3-ITD mutation is one of the most commonly identified gene mutations in AML while being an infrequent mutation in MDS and acute lymphocytic leukemia. Prognostic implication of FLT3 and N-RAS gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia. Complete response (CR) or complete responses with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) were defined according to current 2017 ELN guidelines8. Sorafenib is a first generation, type II multi-kinase FLT3i26 that demonstrated safety and efficacy (14/15 CR) in combination with the standard anthracycline/cytarabine induction therapy in newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML27. 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.

In the absence of clinical trial options: among patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy who had a prior remission >1012 months, we would prefer a regimen incorporating intensive therapy (FLAG-Ida, CLAG-M, CLIA, MEC) in combination with a FLT3 inhibitor with an intent to achieve a rapid and hopefully deep remission and transition patients to ASCT followed by post-ASCT maintenance.

The MORPHO phase III placebo-controlled trial evaluating post-transplant maintenance with gilteritinib in FLT3mut AML recently completed accrual and results are eagerly awaited (NCT02997202). In the randomized phase III RATIFY trial of midostaurin combined with cytarabine and daunorubicin (3+7) induction and consolidation, midostaurin improved OS compared to placebo in patients <60years of age with newly diagnosed FLT3 (ITD and/or TKD) AML24, regardless of AR (0.7 or 0.7) or the type of mutation (ITD or TKD). 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. Perl, A. E. et al. 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. Google Scholar.

Mutations of SF3B1, EZH2 and WT1 seem to be a more ancestral event than FLT3 mutations, as expected, given the VAF of the genes. We prefer a second-generation FLT3i (ideally gilteritinib) in the newly diagnosed setting, and administer the FLT3i D1-D14 during induction, and continuously starting Cycle 2 Day 1 through consolidation. An alternate option would be to consider sequencing with alternate cycles of HMA with venetoclax and HMA with FLT3i.
