Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the first remission for younger adults with FLT3-internal tandem duplication AML: The JALSG AML209-FLT3-SCT study.

ABSTRACT: In this phase II multicenter study (JALSG AML209-FLT3-SCT), we aimed to prospectively elucidate the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at first complete remission (CR1) for FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD)-positive AML. Newly diagnosed de novo AML patients with FLT3-ITD were enrolled at the achievement of CR1 and received allo-HSCT as soon as possible after the first consolidation therapy. Mutations of 57 genes in AML cells at diagnosis were also analyzed. Among 48 eligible patients with a median age of 38.5 (17-49) years, 36 (75%) received allo-HSCT at a median of 108 days after CR1. The median follow-up was 1726 days. The primary end-point, 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) based on an intent to treat analysis, was 43.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30%-57%), suggesting the efficacy of this treatment because the lower limit of the 95% CI exceeded the threshold response rate of 20%. The 3-year overall survival, post-transplant DFS, and non-relapse mortality rates were 54.2% (95% CI, 39%-67%), 58.3% (95% CI, 41%-72%), and 25.0% (95% CI, 12%-40%), respectively. The median ITD allelic ratio (AR) was 0.344 (0.006-4.099). Neither FLT3-ITD AR nor cooccurring genetic alterations was associated with a poor DFS. This prospective study indicated the efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT for FLT3-ITD AML patients in CR1. This study was registered at: www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/ as #UMIN000003433.

Project description:We conducted a single-arm, phase 2 trial (German-Austrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study Group [AMLSG] 16-10) to evaluate midostaurin with intensive chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (HCT) and a 1-year midosta urin maintenance therapy in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD). Patients 18 to 70 years of age with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD-positive AML were eligible. Primary and key secondary endpoints were event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Results were compared with a historical cohort of 415 patients treated on 5 prior AMLSG trials; statistical analysis was performed using a double-robust adjustment with propensity score weighting and covariate adjustment. Results were also compared with patients (18-59 years) treated on the placebo arm of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 10603/RATIFY trial. The trial accrued 440 patients (18-60 years, n = 312; 61-70 years, n = 128). In multivariate analysis, EFS was significantly in favor of patients treated within the AMLSG 16-10 trial compared with the AMLSG control (hazard ratio [HR], 0.55; P < .001); both in younger (HR, 0.59; P < .001) and older patients (HR, 0.42; P < .001). Multivariate analysis also showed a significant beneficial effect on OS compared with the AMLSG control (HR, 0.57; P < .001) as well as to the CALGB 10603/RATIFY trial (HR, 0.71; P = .005). The treatment effect of midostaurin remained significant in sensitivity analysis including allogeneic HCT as a time-dependent covariate. Addition of midostaurin to chemotherapy was safe in younger and older patients. In comparison with historical controls, the addition of midostaurin to intensive therapy led to a significant improvement in outcome in younger and older patients with AML and FLT3-ITD. This trial is registered at clinicaltrialsregistry.eu as Eudra-CT number 2011-003168-63 and at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01477606.

Project description:The fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation is associated with a high relapse rate for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) even after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which inhibits the FLT3 tyrosine kinase and has shown encouraging activity in FLT3-ITD AML. We conducted a phase I trial of maintenance sorafenib after HSCT in patients with FLT3-ITD AML (ClinicalTrials.govNCT01398501). Patients received a variety of conditioning regimens and graft sources. A dose escalation 3 + 3 cohort design was used to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), with an additional 10 patients treated at the MTD. Sorafenib was initiated between days 45 and 120 after HSCT and continued for 12 28-day cycles. Twenty-two patients were enrolled (status at HSCT: first complete remission [CR1], n = 16; second complete remission [CR2], n = 3; refractory, n = 3). The MTD was established at 400 mg twice daily with 1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observed (pericardial effusion). Two patients died of transplantation-related causes, both unrelated to sorafenib. Two patients stopped sorafenib after relapse and 5 stopped because of attributable toxicities after the DLT period. Median follow-up for surviving patients is 16.7 months after HSCT (range, 8.1 to 35.0). There was 1 case of grade II acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after starting sorafenib and the 12-month cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 38% (90% confidence interval [CI], 21% to 56%). For all patients, 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 85% (90% CI, 66% to 94%) and 1-year overall survival (OS) was 95% (90% CI, 79% to 99%) after HSCT. For patients in CR1/CR2 before HSCT (n = 19), 1-year PFS was 95% (90% CI, 76% to 99%) and 1-year OS was 100%, with only 1 patient who relapsed. Sorafenib is safe after HSCT for FLT3-ITD AML and merits further investigation for the prevention of relapse.
