Genetic Profiles and Risk Stratification in Adult De Novo Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in Relation to Age, Gender, and Ethnicity: A Study from Malaysia.

ABSTRACT: Hitherto, no data describing the heterogeneity of genetic profiles and risk stratifications of adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in Southeast Asia are reported. This study assessed genetic profiles, Moorman's hierarchical classification, and ELN 2017-based risk stratifications in relation to age, gender, and ethnicity in Malaysian adult AML patients. A total of 854 AML patients: male (52%), female (48%) were recruited comprising three main ethnic groups: Malays (59%), Chinese (32%) and Indians (8%). Of 307 patients with abnormal karyotypes: 36% exhibited translocations; 10% deletions and 5% trisomies. The commonest genotype was FLT3-ITD-NPM1wt (276/414; 66.7%). ELN 2017 risk stratification was performed on 494 patients, and 41% were classified as favourable, 39% as intermediate and 20% as adverse groups. More females (47%) were in the favourable risk group compared to males (37%), whereas adverse risk was higher in patients above 60 (24%) of age compared to below 60 (18%) patients. We observed heterogeneity in the distribution of genetic profiles and risk stratifications between the age groups and gender, but not among the ethnic groups. Our study elucidated the diversity of adult AML genetic profiles between Southeast Asians and other regions worldwide.

Project description:BackgroundBased on the results from the ALFA-0701 study, gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) has been approved by the European Medicine Agency and by the Italian Drug Agency for the first line treatment of de novo acute-myeloid leukemia (AML). In this analysis, we assessed the cost-effectiveness of GO in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA), vs DA alone, adopting the perspective of the Italian National Health Service.MethodsFor this analysis, a cohort state transition model was developed. The model was designed to capture health states and events that occur throughout the entire disease course and that impact costs and outcomes. The ALFA-0701 study was the main source of clinical data for this analysis. In the model, patients had the same baseline characteristics and experienced the same clinical improvements as in the ALFA-0701 study. Economic data (resource consumption and unit costs) were adapted to reflect expenditure for the Italian National Health Service. Utilities per health state and disutilities due to adverse events were based on the literature and on the general population for those functionally cured. A lifetime horizon was adopted, with both costs and outcome being discounted of 3.0%, annually. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of results.ResultsIn the base case (lifetime horizon; primary source of data: study ALFA-0701; perspective: Italian National Health Service; discount rate on costs and outcomes: 3.0%), GO + DA was more effective DA both in terms of life-year (LY) survival (6.42 LY vs 5.75 LY, respectively) and quality-of-life adjusted survival (4.69 QALY vs 4.19 QALY, respectively). The overall costs were almost similar in the two groups (slightly lower with GO + DA than with DA; €162,424 and €162,708, respectively). The use of GO increased the costs of drug therapy but saved costs of relapse and costs associated with transplantation (HSCT).ConclusionsIf results of the ALFA-0701 study are applied to the Italian healthcare environment, then gemtuzumab ozogamicin, in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine, would clinical outcomes and reduce lifetime costs, compared with daunorubicin and cytarabine alone for the first line treatment of de novo AML.Trial registrationNot applicable.
