Post-Relapse Outcomes of Older Patients With NPM1-Mutated AML Are Favorable With Allo Transplant in Second Remission.

Molecular assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD) in NPM1-mutated AML patients is a powerful prognostic tool to identify the risk of relapse. There is limited data regarding MRD-guided decisions against alloSCT in elderly patients and FLT3-ITD co-mutation. We describe the outcome of NPM1-mutated AML patients in whom alloSCT was deferred based on ELN 2017 risk and MRD response.

CPX-351 +/- gemtuzumab ozogamicin as induction therapy for adult patients with newly diagnosed, favourable-intermediate risk, FLT3-ITD negative, AML: A pilot study.

This pilot study evaluated CPX-351 in adults with newly diagnosed, favourable-intermediate risk, FLT3-ITD-negative AML. Twenty patients received CPX-351 for induction, with six also receiving gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). The complete response rate was 95%, with 42% achieving flow-based minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity post-induction.

Trial eligibility, treatment patterns and outcome for venetoclax-based therapy in AML: a prospective cohort study.

Venetoclax (Ven) plus hypomethylating agents are considered standard-of-care for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) judged ineligible for intensive chemotherapy (IC). Real-world studies complement clinical trials, since patterns of patient selection, treatment-exposure and post-remission management may vary. This prospective observational multi-center study included 209 newly diagnosed IC-ineligible patients with a median age 75 years (interquartile range, 71-81 years).

Gilteritinib with or without venetoclax for relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia.

Patients with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) that relapse or are refractory (R/R) to intensive induction have poor outcomes. Gilteritinib has recently become standard-of-care for patients with R/R FLT3-mutated AML. We investigated whether adding venetoclax to gilteritinib (gilt-ven) improves outcomes as compared with gilteritinib monotherapy.
