    Description: Background: Activating mutations of NRAS and KRAS genes are common in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), occurring in 11-16% and 4-5% of patients, respectively. RAS mutations are frequently acquired at time of progression from MDS to AML and are associated with poor survival. Next generation sequencing (NGS) at diagnosis and during complete remission has shown that RAS mutations have high clearance rates with induction chemotherapy. In the CALGB 8525 study, RAS-mutant younger patients (age

    Description: Background Measurable residual disease (MRD) is associated with inferior outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MRD monitoring enhances risk stratification and may guide therapeutic intervention. Post-induction MRD is frequently cleared with further therapy and the clearance may lead to better outcomes. In contrast, persistent MRD is associated with poor outcomes. At present it is not possible to predict which patients are likely to clear MRD with further therapy. Here we report a simple, objective, widely applicable and quantitative MFC approach using the ratio of blast/PDC to predict persistent MRD and poor outcomes in AML. Patients and Methods A cohort of 136 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of AML by WHO criteria who underwent standard induction therapy at a single center between 4/2014 and 9/2017 was initially included. 69 patients achieved complete morphologic remission (36 MRD-neg. and 33 MRD-pos.). MRD status was assessed by MFC using a different from normal (DfN) approach. PDC were quantified as the percent of total WBC by flow cytometry based on low side scatter, moderate CD45, CD303, bright CD123 and HLA-DR expression. Results The proportion of PDC was markedly decreased in patients with AML (≥20% blasts) (N=136) with a median of 0.016% (interquartile range IQR: 0.0019%-0.071%, Figure 1A), more than 10-fold lower than observed in normal controls (median 0.23%, IQR 0.17%-0.34%) (N=20). While there was no difference between MRD-neg. and normal control groups (median 0.31%, IQR: 0.17%-0.49%; vs. 0.28%, IQR: 0.17%-0.34%), MRD-pos. group had significantly reduced PDC proportion compared to the control (median 0.074%, IQR: 0.022%-0.33%, Wilcoxon rank sum, p=0.019). In an attempt to achieve better separation and to eliminate possible effects of hemodilution, the ratio of blast/PDC was calculated by using the proportions of blasts and PDCs out of total WBCs as quantitated by flow cytometry. A cut-off threshold of the blast/PDC ratio of 10 was chosen to separate each group (Figure 1B). Importantly, a ratio cut-off of 10 had a corresponding specificity of 97.4% for predicting MRD positivity status. MRD positivity was significantly associated with inferior overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in our study cohort (OS HR 4.11 (95% CI: 1.30-13.03), p=0.016; RFS HR 4.20 (95% CI: 1.49-11.82), p=0.007, Figure 1C and D). The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse in the MRD-neg. group compared to MRD-pos. group was 10% (95% CI: 2-24%) vs. 37% (95% CI: 18-56%, p=0.014). Importantly, blast/PDC ratio ≥10 was also strongly associated with inferior OS and RFS (OS HR 3.12 (95% CI: 1.13-8.60), p= 0.028; RFS HR 4.05 (95% CI: 1.63-10.11), p=0.003, Figure 1E and F), which is similar in magnitude to MRD positivity. Furthermore, MRD-pos. patients with blast/PDC ratio

    Description: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a biologically diverse disease with subtypes that can be identified through integrated cytogenetic, mutational, and epigenetic characterization. Mutations in epigenetic regulators such as IDH1, IDH2, and DNMT3A are among the most common gene mutations found in AML (Cancer Genome Atlas Research et al. 2013; Papaemmanuil et al. 2016). Targeted inhibitors of IDH1 and IDH2 have recently been approved by the FDA for the treatment of AML (DiNardo et al. 2018; Stein et al. 2015). In addition, IDH/DNMT3A dual mutant AMLs exhibit a distinct epigenetic signature and are characterized by increased in vitro sensitivity to MEK inhibition (Glass et al. 2017). Here we explore the clinical course of AML patients with IDH1, IDH2, and DNMT3A mutations treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) between 2012 and 2018. Treatment regimens included standard chemotherapy, as well as investigational therapies such as IDH1, IDH2, and pan-IDH inhibitors (Table 1). Using overall survival as our endpoint, we assessed contributions of WHO risk, age, treatment regimen, and gene mutations using multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards modeling. Among intermediate risk patients, we found that the presence of concurrent IDH1/DNMT3A mutations (n=16) conferred the highest mortality risk compared to DNMT3A mutation alone (HR=2.31; p=0.046). In contrast, IDH2/DNMT3A mutated AML conferred similar mortality risk compared to DNMT3A mutation alone (HR=1.07; p=0.85). When compared to intermediate risk IDH1/DNMT3A mutated AML, intermediate risk IDH2/DNMT3A mutated AML had a lower risk of mortality (HR=0.345; p=0.038), (Fig. 1). This adverse risk of IDH1/DNMT3A mutations persists after adjusting for IDH inhibitor therapy (HR=2.42; p=0.05). In multivariate analysis, IDH1 mutation and use of low intensity therapeutic regimens conferred an increased risk of mortality after adjusting for WHO risk (HR=2.25; p=0.016 and HR=1.71; p=0.036, respectively). Induction chemotherapy provided an overall survival benefit after adjusting for WHO Risk and the presence of IDH1, IDH2, DNMT3A, or dual IDH/DNMT3A mutations (HR=0.50; p

    Description: Prior studies have shown that the cell of origin of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) initiation is an important determinant of therapeutic sensitivity. MLL-rearranged leukemias in which the fusion is acquired in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are less sensitive to chemotherapy and express high levels of the oncogenic transcription factor, Evi1, when compared to leukemias which are initiated in granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMP). However, the mechanisms governing how cell-of-origin modulates therapeutic response have not been delineated. Here, we describe a functional link that ties therapeutic sensitivity of MLL-AF9 leukemias to both chemotherapy and pharmacologic inhibitors of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) - currently under investigation in clinical trials - to AML cell of origin via a novel mechanism that modulates p53 protein stability and activity through Evi1. This Evi1-dependent mechanism revealed a therapeutic vulnerability in the resistant HSC-derived leukemias that could be targeted with the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax, which overcame resistance when combined with LSD1 inhibition. Murine HSC-derived MLL-AF9 leukemias exhibited markedly reduced sensitivity to the LSD1 inhibitor, IMG-7289, when compared to GMP-derived MLL-AF9 leukemias, in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with previously published reports, HSC-derived leukemias exhibited several hundred-fold higher expression of EVI1 mRNA relative to GMP-derived leukemias in both mouse and human MLL-rearranged leukemia models; the differential EVI1 expression mirrors expression patterns of this key hematopoietic regulator in normal HSCs and GMPs. H3K27me3 chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed that the EVI1 locus is silenced by Polycomb repression in GMP-derived leukemias, and this repression was also observed in EVI1low primary AML patient samples. Knockdown of Evi1 via shRNA sensitized HSC-derived leukemias to LSD1 inhibition. In vitro assays revealed induction of apoptosis in GMP-derived leukemias - but not in HSC-derived leukemias - after treatment with IMG-7289. HSC-derived leukemias also exhibited decreased apoptotic priming assessed through functional BH3 profiling assays as well as blunted p53 transcriptional output. These data suggested that cell-of-origin led to differential p53 activity and therapeutic response in AMLs driven by the same fusion gene initiated from different stem/progenitor populations. The diminished p53 activity in HSC-derived leukemias was associated with reduced p53 protein abundance both at steady-state and after LSD1 inhibitor treatment compared to GMP-derived leukemias. Quantification of p53 mRNA did not show differential p53 expression, including after LSD1 inhibition, in HSC vs. GMP-derived leukemias implicating post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that underlie this cell-of-origin mediated phenotype. We found that modulation of Evi1 expression resulted in altered p53 protein stability: specifically, (1) shRNA-mediated knockdown of Evi1 in HSC-derived leukemias increased p53 protein stability and (2) overexpression of Evi1 blunted doxorubicin-induced p53 protein stability. Moreover, p53 loss-of-function in Evi1low GMP-derived MLL-AF9 leukemias induced resistance to LSD1 inhibition. By contrast, Evi1high HSC-derived leukemias exposed to the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax in vivo were sensitized to LSD1 inhibition, resulting in enhanced apoptosis and greater reductions in disease burden, observations that we observed in patients with Evi1high AML treated with venetoclax. Our findings describe how the cell of origin of p53 wild-type cancers can differentially modulate p53 function and therapeutic response and provide a mechanistic rationale for therapies aimed to circumvent this resistance mechanism.

    Description: Background: Myeloid and lymphoid leukemias each have distinct diagnostic algorithms, treatment paradigms, and therapeutic options. In mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), myeloid and lymphoid immunophenotypes are expressed simultaneously. MPAL is rare, accounting for fewer than 5% of all leukemias, and carries a poor prognosis. Currently, there is no standard of care for treatment of this disease and therapeutic options tailored to this group of patients are lacking. Additionally, the biological mechanisms underlying lineage infidelity are poorly understood. Here we seek to establish more precise biological characterization of this disease and have identified a new subgroup of patients with Mixed Phenotype Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML-MP). Methods: We developed a novel natural language processing pipeline and used it to review 830 patient records, representing all acute leukemia patients treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center since 2015. We identified those with ambiguous lineages based on multiparameter flow cytometry data and integrated next-generation sequencing, cytogenetics, and clinical information. Statistical methods are outlined with the associated results below. Results: Among the 830 patient records reviewed, 54 (6.5%) patients with mixed lineage characteristics were identified. Of these, 26 (48%) carried a formal diagnosis of MPAL while 28 (52%) carried a diagnosis of AML with myelodysplasia related changes (AML-MRC) or therapy related AML (t-AML). Among the cases expressing multiple lineages, 34 (25%) had B/Myeloid features (11 MPAL, 23 AML-MRC), 17 (13%) had T/Myeloid features (13 MPAL, 4 AML-MRC), 3 (0.7%) had B/T/Myeloid lineage (2 MPAL, 1 AML-MRC). Only 8 patients received prior chemotherapy at our institution 〉 1 year prior to diagnosis and were classified as t-AML. As a control group, we also identified 79 patients with AML-MRC exhibiting myeloid lineage alone. We pooled the mixed-lineage and myeloid-only AML-MRC cases and performed k-means clustering into 2 groups using all available molecular features (Figure 1a). Although TP53 was enriched within AML cases (p 60: p 〈 0.01, high risk cytogenetics: p

    Description: Background: MRD is a powerful prognostic factor in AML. Emerging data indicate that allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) with MRD results in outcomes equivalently poor to alloSCT with morphologic AML (Araki et al., JCO 2016). Genomic predictors of MRD are unclear, and relative efficacy of therapies for MRD remains elusive. Objectives: Here we provide an integrated analysis of responses for 163 patients (pts) who underwent induction chemotherapy with baseline next-generation sequencing (NGS) followed by serial immunophenotypic monitoring for MRD. Methods:163 patients starting in April 2014 who underwent induction chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were retrospectively studied. All received anthracycline + cytarabine, with or without investigational agents. Immunophenotypic MRD was identified in bone marrow aspirates (BMA) by multiparameter flow cytometry. Any level of residual disease was considered MRD+. Molecular analysis was obtained from pre-induction BMA by NGS using 28 or 49 gene panels. Cytogenetics/FISH were performed using standard techniques. Results: Patient characteristics are in Table 1. 7/163 (4.9%) died within 30 days of induction.153 pts had BM biopsy after induction prior to further therapy. 124/153 underwent flow after induction. 65/124 (52.4%) achieved CR/CRi after induction alone, 31/124 (25%) MRD+CR/CRi, and 34/124 (27.4%) MRD-CR/CRi. Pre-induction molecular analysis from 126 suggests that certain cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities correlate with achievement of MRD-CR. (Figure 1) Only 2/25 (8%) with RUNX1, 0/13 with SF3B1, and 0/11 with TP53 mutations achieved MRD-CR/CRi as best response after 1 cycle of induction. Only 3 additional RUNX1, 2 SF3B1, and 0/11 TP53 achieved MRD-CR/CRi as best response after a second cycle of therapy. In contrast, 7/8 with CBF AML (inv16 and no KIT mutation, n=4) or (t(8;21), n=3) achieved MRD-CR/CRi (n=5) or CR without flow (n=2) after 1 cycle of induction. 91/163 (55.8%) underwent alloSCT following induction or additional therapy. Post-alloSCT follow-up indicates potential value in converting MRD+ to MRD-. 84/91 were evaluable for MRD with flow cytometry prior to alloSCT. 41/84 (48.8%) were MRD-, 30/84 (35.7%) MRD+, and 13/84 (15.4%) persistent AML. 13/41 (31.7%) MRD-pre-alloSCT were MRD- post-induction. 28/41 (68.2%) MRD+ or persistent AML converted to MRD- prior to alloSCT following additional therapy. 23/29 MRD+CR/CRi pts after induction were intermediate/unfavorable and therefore transplant candidates. 19/23 MRD+CR/CRi intermediate/unfavorable underwent transplant (9 without post-induction therapy, 10 after consolidation), while 4 did not proceed to transplant due to relapse after induction (n=1), relapse after consolidation (n=2), and patient preference. There was no significant difference in post-transplant OS between early MRD-CR immediately following induction and later conversion to MRD-CR prior to alloSCT (Figure 1B). Post-transplant analysis reveals that most pts who enter transplant with persistent AML (n=13) or MRD+ (n=30) clear MRD (30/43, 69.7%) by the first post-transplant BM (median 32 days, Figure 1C). Despite initial post-transplant MRD clearance, pts who entered alloSCT with persistent AML or MRD+ had poorer post-transplant OS compared to pts who entered alloSCT with MRD- (p=0.02, Figure 1D). Conclusion: Our data show that AML pts with specific molecular mutations (RUNX1, SF3B1, and TP53) are unlikely to achieve MRD-CR/CRi after induction chemotherapy. We further show that additional therapy such as consolidation may be advantageous for some MRD+ pts to achieve MRD-CR prior to alloSCT, although others remain resistant to MRD clearance. Post-transplant OS is improved in pts who are MRD- at time of transplant, regardless of whether they required additional therapy beyond induction to achieve this state. Our results suggest that development of MRD-eradicating therapies after AML induction has the potential to improve post-transplant outcomes.
