Impact of Chemotherapy Delay on Overall Survival for AML with IDH1/2 Mutations: A Study in Adult Chinese Patients.

ABSTRACT: The effect of time from diagnosis to treatment (TDT) on overall survival of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains obscure. Furthermore, whether chemotherapy delay impacts overall survival (OS) of patients with a special molecular subtype has not been investigated. Here, we enrolled 364 cases of AML to assess the effect of TDT on OS by fractional polynomial regression in the context of clinical parameters and genes of FLT3ITD, NPM1, CEBPA, DNMT3a, and IDH1/2 mutations. Results of the current study show IDH1/2 mutations are associated with older age, M0 morphology, an intermediate cytogenetic risk group, and NPM1 mutations. TDT associates with OS for AML patients in a nonlinear pattern with a J shape. Moreover, adverse effect of delayed treatment on OS was observed in patients with IDH1/2 mutations, but not in those with IDH1/2 wildtype. Therefore, initiating chemotherapy as soon as possible after diagnosis might be a potential strategy to improve OS in AML patients with IDH1/2 mutations.

Project description:BackgroundDelays in the initiation of therapy among patients with early stage breast cancer (BC) can negatively affect outcomes. Patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NSC) usually display tumors with high-risk features. Considering these high-risk characteristics and the evidence supporting adverse outcomes associated with delays in adjuvant chemotherapy initiation, we sought to determine whether a delay in NSC initiation is associated with overall survival (OS).MethodsWe identified patients diagnosed between January 1995 and December 2015 with invasive primary BC (stage I-III) who received NSC at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Patients were categorized according to their time from BC diagnosis to NSC (in days) into three subgroups: 0-30, 31-60, and ≥61 days. Primary endpoint was OS. Descriptive statistics and Cox's proportional hazard models were used.ResultsA total of 5,137 patients were included. Median follow-up was 6.5 years. The 5-year OS estimates according to time to NSC were 87%, 85%, and 83% in patients who received NSC within 0-30, 31-60, and ≥61 days after diagnosis, respectively (p = .006). In multivariable analysis, compared with time to NSC of 0-30 days, delayed NSC ≥61 days was associated with an increased risk of death (31-60 days: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.05 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-1.19]; ≥61 days, HR = 1.28 [95% CI 1.06-1.54]). In stratified analyses, the association between delay in NSC initiation and increased risk of death was statistically significant for patients with stage I and II BC (31-60 days: HR = 1.22 [95% CI 1.02-1.47]; ≥61 days, HR = 1.41 [95% CI 1.07-1.86]) and among patients with HER2-positive tumors ( ≥61 days, HR = 1.86 [95% CI 1.21-2.86]).ConclusionA delay in NSC initiation of more than 61 days after BC diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of death. Early initiation of NSC should be a priority; multidisciplinary teams must focus on coordination of care and patient-centered, timely treatment planning and delivery.Implications for practiceThe results of this study showed that a delay in neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy initiation of more than 61 days after breast cancer diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of death; therefore, efforts must focus on early initiation of therapy, which should be a priority. Multidisciplinary teams must enhance coordination of care and patient-centered, timely treatment planning and delivery.

Project description:BackgroundPopulation-based survival studies of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not simultaneously evaluated age at diagnosis, race and ethnicity, sex, calendar period or AML subtypes/subgroups among chemotherapy-treated patients.MethodsFor 28,473 chemotherapy-treated AML patients diagnosed at ages ≥20 years in population-based cancer registry areas of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (2001-2018, followed through 2019), we evaluated 1-month through 5-year relative survival (RS) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using the actuarial method in the SEER∗Stat Survival Session and overall survival (OS) using multivariable Cox regression to estimate proportional hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CI.FindingsRS decreased with increasing age (20-39, 40-59, 60-74, 75-84, ≥85 years) at AML diagnosis. RS declined substantially within the first month and, except for acute promyelocytic leukemia, decreasing patterns continued thereafter for core binding factor AML, AML with antecedent condition/therapy, and all other AML. For all ages, acute promyelocytic leukemia RS stabilized after the first year. For total AML the hazard of death was significantly increased for non-Hispanic (NH)-Black (HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.12-1.24) and NH-Pacific Islander patients (HR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.11-1.55) compared with NH-White patients. In contrast, NH-Asian and Hispanic patients had similar OS to NH-White patients across all ages and most AML subgroups. Males had significantly inferior survival to females with some exceptions. Compared to 2001-2006, in 2013-2018 OS improved for all age and AML subgroups.InterpretationChemotherapy-treated U.S. adults with AML have notable differences in survival by age, race and ethnicity, sex, calendar-year period, and AML subgroup. Despite survival gains over time, our findings highlight the need for improving early outcomes across all AML subgroups, older ages, and Black and Pacific Islander patients and long-term outcomes among most treated groups.FundingIntramural Research Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology.
