Genomic Landscape and Molecular Risk in Patients with Advanced Myelofibrosis Treated within the Multicenter Phase Ib/II MPNSG0212 (POMINC) Trial
Abstract Introduction: Mutations (muts) in JAK2, MPL, and CALR are genetic hallmarks in myeloproliferative neoplasms such as myelofibrosis (MF). Prognostication in MF is predominantly based on clinical parameters according to the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS). However, gene mutations become increasingly important allowing for a more precised assessment of prognosis. For instance, CALR mutated MF is associated with favorable prognosis, while mutations in distinct high molecular-risk (HMR) genes are considered adverse. Our multicenter phase-Ib/II MPNSG-0212 trial (NCT01644110) investigating ruxolitinib plus pomalidomide in a total cohort of 92 patients with advanced …
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-Based Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) Monitoring in Acute Myeloid Leukemia with FLT3 Internal Tandem Duplication (FLT3-ITD+ AML) Treated with Additional Midostaurin
Background: FLT3-ITD occurs in ~25% of adult AML patients (pts) and is associated with poor prognosis. MRD monitoring is of high prognostic relevance, but restricted to certain AML subtypes. FLT3-ITD represents an attractive target for MRD monitoring in particular in pts treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. FLT3-ITD MRD monitoring is hampered by the broad heterogeneity of ITD length and insertion site (IS). NGS may overcome these limitations offering the opportunity for MRD monitoring in FLT3-ITD+ AML. Aims: To validate our recently established NGS-based FLT3-ITD MRD assay in a defined cohort of FLT3-ITD+ AML pts treated within the AMLSG16-10 trial (NCT01477606) combining intensive che…
Impact of NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotypes defined by the 2017 European LeukemiaNet in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
Contains fulltext : 218279.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring FLT3 internal tandem duplications (ITDs) have poor outcomes, in particular AML with a high (>/=0.5) mutant/wild-type allelic ratio (AR). The 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) recommendations defined 4 distinct FLT3-ITD genotypes based on the ITD AR and the NPM1 mutational status. In this retrospective exploratory study, we investigated the prognostic and predictive impact of the NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotypes categorized according to the 2017 ELN risk groups in patients randomized within the RATIFY trial, which evaluated the addition of midostaurin to standard chemotherapy. The 4 …
