Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The impact of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations and mutation burden among cytogenetic subgroups of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) other than normal karyotype (NK) AML is unclear.
METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed AML were divided among 3 cytogenetic subgroups: core binding factor (CBF) AML, NK-AML, and poor-risk AML.
RESULTS: In total, 481 patients were included: 13% had, CBF-AML, 57% had NK-AML, and 30% had poor risk AML, and the frequency of any FLT3 mutations was 20%, 32%, and 7.6% in the respective cytogenetic subgroups. FLT3 mutation did not have an impact on event-free survival (EFS) in patients with CBF-AML (P = .84) and poor-risk AML (P = .37). In patients with NK-AML, EFS was worse in the FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) group (20 weeks vs 41 weeks; P < .00,001) but not in the FLT3-tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) point mutation group (61 weeks vs 41 weeks; P = .15). Worse EFS and overall survival (OS) were observed among patients with NK-AML and higher FLT3-ITD burden but not among patients with FLT3-TKD mutation. In multivariate analysis, FLT3-ITD mutation was prognostic of EFS in patients with NK-AML (hazard ratio, 3.1; P = .03).
CONCLUSIONS: FLT3 mutations did not have a prognostic impact in patients with AML who had good-risk and poor-risk karyotypes. In patients with NK-AML, FLT3-ITD mutations led to worse survival, which was even worse among patients who had high mutation burden.
