FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutationsClinical significance FLT3-internal tandem duplication is an indicator of poor outcome in AML. Kottaridis et al. Blood 2001, 1752-1759. NPM1mut is associated with improved outcome. Falini B et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:254–266. NPM1mut together with FLT3-ITD is not associated with improved outcome. Thiede et al. Blood 2006, 4011-4020. Analyses to date have been performed in younger patient populations and have not taken treatment into account.
Aim of study • Evaluate FLT3-ITD as a prognostic factor in a homogenous group of elderly patients (>60 years) treated with one protocol • Evaluate NPM1mut alone and in combination with FLT3-ITD as a prognostic factor for OS, EFS and relapse incidence • Evaluate the role of FLT3-ITD and NPM1mut on outcome following chemotherapy and SCT

Analytical methods • Molecular • FLT3-ITD and NPM1mut were analyzed on material frozen at time of diagnosis by capillary electrophoresis after PCR amplification • Murphy et al; Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003, 96-1002. • Falini et al, NEJM, 2005, 254-266. • Statistics • Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) Test

Conclusion • FLT3-ITD is a prognostic factor for OS and LFS in elderly patients in CR1 but not at diagnosis. • NPM1mut in association with FLT3wt is associated with improved outcome in CR1 patients but not at diagnosis. • SCT in comparison to chemotherapy: • improves outcome in both FLT3-ITD and FLT3wt patients. • does not improve outcome in the specific case of NPM1mut and FLT3wt but in all other combinations. • reduces relapse rates in all combinations except NPM1mut/FLT3wt but especially in FLT3-ITD AML patients.
