Discussion NPM1-mutated AML with NK • Therapeutic and prognostic implications of FLT3-ITD and/or DNMT3A • Minimal screening panel of mutations in AML-NK • Role of MRD
NPM1mut: Prognostic relevance • NPM1mut: OS at 4 yrs: 60% vs 21% “other genotypes” • No difference in OS with AlloSCT • Triple negative: poor outcome 33% 4yrs Schlenk RF, NEJM 2008
Prognostic impact of accompanying mutations in NPM1mut AML (I) The ratio of FLT3-ITD modulates prognosis on NPM1mut AML Threshold FLT3-ITD/FLT3-wt: 0.5 NPM1mut + High ratio: Higher relapse rate ( 79% vs 20% at 5yrs) Shorter OS (29% vs 47% at 5yrs) Survival benefit with AlloSCT in CR1 Pratcorona M, Blood 2013
Prognostic impact of accompanying mutations in NPM1mut AML (II) Controversies about the prognostic impact of DNMT3A Within patients with NK-AML, DNMT3Amut had an unfavorable effect on OS, RFS, and CR rate in NPM1/FLT3-ITD high-risk but not in low-risk patients DNMT3Amut was significant within NPM1/FLT3-ITD low risk patients (not in high risk) CEBPA and DNMT3A : almost mutually exclusive (not evaluable) Thol F, JCO 2011 Renneville A, Leukemia 2012
Prognostic impact of accompanying mutations in NPM1mut AML (III) Controversies about the prognostic impact of DNMT3A *No effect of DNMT3Amut on survival was found nor in the FLT3wt/NPM1mut NK-AML (like Thol et al) nor in FLT3-ITD/NPM1mut NK-AML (like Renneville et al) DNMT3Amut did not impact in NK-AML (in contrast to previous studies) Negative impact only in ELN-unfav NK-AML subset *Ribeiro T, Blood 2012 Gaidzik V, Blood 2013

Therapeutic implications of gene mutations Benefit of high-dose vs. standard-dose daunorubicin in patients with NPM1/DNMT3A mutations or with MLL translocations Patel J, NEJM 2012
Minimal screening panel of mutations European LeukemiaNet recommendations DNMT3A TET2 ASXL1 IDH 1/2 RUNX1 PHF6 MLL-PTD More clinical data is needed (controversies about prognosis or minimal clinical data) Potential role of specific treatments ( targeting epigenetic modifiers, FLT3 inhibitors, high dose daunorubicin,…) Döhner H, Blood 2010
Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) NPM1 • NPM1isstable, even in thepresence of clonalevolution • Usedforearlydetection of relapse (increase of 1 log at any time) in a median time of 62 days • Earlydetection of relapsebasedon “molecular response” (lessthan 3 log decrease) • Pretreatmentlevels of NPM1 transcriptdidnotimpactevent free survival • No informationabout DNMT3A (future role of NGS) • FLT3-ITD isnot a goodmarker (presence of different clones at thesame time, acquisitionordisappearance at relapse) Schnittger ASH 2012: stablebetweendiagnostic and relapsesamples in 86.3% FLT3-ITD and DNMT3A Krönke, JCO 2011
Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) NPM1 • After double induction therapy: • RQ-PCR-negativity : CIR 6.5% 4 yr (OS: 90%) • RQ-PCR-positivity : CIR 53% 4 yr (OS: 51%) • After completion of consolidation therapy : • RQ-PCR-negativity : CIR 15.7% 4 yr • RQ-PCR-positivity : CIR 66.5% 4 yr • Early detection of relapse in patients exceeding more than 200 NPM1mut/104 ABL copies Krönke, JCO 2011
Conclusions • Ratios of FLT3-ITD/FLT3-wt above 0.5 confer a worse prognosis to NPM1-mutated AMLs with normal karyotype • There is no consensus about the prognostic impact of DNMT3A mutation, but only one study supports the deleterious impact in the subset of patients with NPM1mut/FLT3wt AML with normal karyotype • Benefit of high-dose versus standard-dose daunorubicin in the subgroup of patients with NPM1/DNMT3A mutations or with MLL translocations • Nowadays the minimal screening panel of mutations for the normal cytogenetics AML must include: NPM1, CEBPA and FLT3-ITD. We have not enough clinical information to recommend the study of the mutational status of other genes (DNMT3A, TET2, IDH, RUNX1, ASXL1, ...) • NPM1 is well established as a MRD target. The MRD levels after induction or consolidation therapy will determine the outcome of the patients
