Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Transplantation With Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for Acute Myeloid Leukemia With IDH Mutations: A Single Center Experience.

Introduction: Mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes are detected in approximately 20% of cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Few studies have examined the impact of IDH mutations in AML on allogeneic bone marrow transplant (alloBMT) outcomes.

Patients And Methods: In this single center study, alloBMT outcomes for 61 patients with IDH-mutated (mIDH) AML were compared to those for 146 patients with IDH-wildtype (wtIDH) AML.

Results: Patients with mIDH AML had a 2-year overall survival (OS) of 85% (95% CI 76%-95%), 2-year relapse free survival (RFS) of 71% (95% CI 59%-85%), 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of 14% (95% CI 5%-23%) and a 1-year cumulative incidence of transplant related mortality (CITRM) of 3% (95% CI 0%-8%). Patients with wtIDH had a 2-year OS of 61% (95% CI 53%-70%), 2-year RFS of 58% (95% CI 50%-67%), 1-year CIR of 27% (95% CI 20%-35%), and a 1-year CITRM of 9% (95% CI 5%-14%). In a univariate analysis cox-proportional hazard model, mIDH was associated with significantly better OS (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29-0.96) and a trend toward better RFS (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.35-1.01). After controlling for donor age, diagnosis, and ELN risk category, mIDH was associated with a nonsignificantly improved OS (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.29-1.01) and RFS (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.39-1.15).

Conclusion: Among patients with mIDH AML, patients who received a peritransplant IDH inhibitor had improved OS (P = .03) compared to those who did not, but there was no detectable difference for RFS (P = .29).
