Background: Genomic sequencing technologies have identified isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in haematological malignancies. The prognostic implications of somatic IDH mutation (mIDH) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remain controversial. Methods: Mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 were detected using genomic sequencing technologies in 97 patients with MDS. Results: Seven (7.2%) mutations were identified: 3 in IDH1 (all R132C) and 4 in IDH2 (3 R140Q and 1 R140L). The frequency of mutation was 16.6% (2/12) in refractory anaemia with excess blasts (RAEB)-1 and 14.7% (5/34) in RAEB-2. IDH1/2 mutations were closely associated with higher bone marrow blast counts (median 10.0 vs. 2.3%; p = 0.019) and lower absolute neutrophil counts (median 0.44 × 109/L vs. 1.21 × 109/L; p = 0.027). All IDH mutations were mutually exclusive and heterozygous. IDH mutations were not significantly correlated with any specific karyotype. Patients with IDH1 mutations exhibited shorter overall and progression-free survival (OS and PFS; p = 0.039 and p = 0.042, respectively), whereas IDH2 mutations did not affect OS or PFS (p = 0.560 and p = 0.218, respectively). Multivariate analysis indicated that IDH1 mutation (p = 0.018; hazard ratio [HR] 4.735; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.299-17.264), karyotype risk (p = 0.036; HR 1.619; 95% CI 1.033-2.539) and the revised International Prognostic Scoring System risk category (p < 0.0001; HR 2.122; 95% CI 1.401-3.213) were independent inferior prognostic factors. Conclusions:IDH1 mutation is associated with a poor prognosis.

Purpose Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Patients and Methods MDS patients diagnosed according to standard French-American-British criteria received a loading dose of 0.3 mg/kg per day of arsenic trioxide for 5 days followed by a maintenance dose of 0.25 mg/kg arsenic trioxide twice weekly for 15 weeks. Patients were divided into two cohorts: lower-risk MDS (International Prognostic Scoring System risk category low or intermediate 1) and higher-risk MDS (International Prognostic Scoring System risk category intermediate 2 or high). Modified International Working Group criteria were used for response evaluation. Results Of 115 patients enrolled and treated in the study, 67% of patients were transfusion dependent at baseline; median age was 68 years. Most treatment-related adverse events were mild to moderate. The overall rate of hematologic improvement (intent-to-treat) was 24 (19%) of 115, including one complete and one partial response in the higher-risk cohort. The hematologic response rates were 13 (26%) of 50 and 11 (17%) of 64 in patients with lower-risk and higher-risk MDS, respectively. Major responses were observed in all three hematologic lineages; 16% of RBC transfusion-dependent patients and 29% of platelet transfusion-dependent patients became transfusion independent. At data cut off, the median response duration was 3.4 months, with responses ongoing in nine patients. Conclusion Arsenic trioxide treatment consisting of an initial loading dose followed by maintenance therapy has moderate activity in MDS, inducing hematologic responses in both lower- and higher-risk patients. This activity combined with a manageable adverse effect profile warrants the additional study of arsenic trioxide, particularly in combination therapy, for the treatment of patients with MDS.

Abstract Abstract 971 Unlike the case in acute myeloid leukemia, there is limited information on the prognostic impact of IDH mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In the current study of 277 patients with MDS, IDH mutations were detected in 34 (12%) cases: 26 IDH2 (all R140Q) and 8 IDH1 (six R132S and two R132C). Mutational frequency was 4% (2 of 56) in refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS), 12% (16 of 130) in refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, 14% (2 of 14) in MDS-unclassifiable, 14% (6 of 42) in refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)-1, and 23% (8 of 35) in RAEB-2. Normal karyotype was noted in all but one IDH1-mutated cases and 13 IDH2-mutated cases. Multivariable analysis identified presence of mutant IDH1 (p=0.0004; HR 4.0, 95% CI 1.9–8.8), revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) risk category (p<0.0001), and red cell transfusion need (p=0.002) as independent predictors of inferior survival (Figure 1). In a similar multivariable analysis, mutant IDH1 was the only variable associated with shortened leukemia-free survival (p=0.001; HR 7.0, 95% CI 2.3–20.8). The presence of IDH2 R140Q did not affect overall (p=0.54) or leukemia-free (p=0.81) survival (Figure 2). The current study suggests a powerful adverse prognostic effect for mutant IDH1 in MDS. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arsenic trioxide monotherapy in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Patients and Methods Patients received arsenic trioxide (0.25 mg/kg/d) on 5 consecutive days per week for 2 weeks, followed by 2 weeks’ rest (one cycle). Two patient cohorts were established according to International Prognostic Scoring System risk category: lower-risk (low or intermediate-1) or higher-risk MDS (intermediate-2 or high). For lower-risk MDS, hematologic improvement (HI) was the primary response end point. For higher-risk MDS, additional end points included complete or partial remission. Based on the expected time to response, patients receiving two or more cycles were prospectively evaluated. Results Hematologic adverse events included neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and febrile neutropenia. Two patients died during the study due to treatment-related toxicities. Most common grade 3/4 nonhematologic events were pneumonia, fatigue, hemorrhage, pain, and dyspnea. Among patients who received one or more doses (n = 70) or completed two or more cycles (n = 51), the HI rates were 34% and 39% in lower-risk patients, and 6% and 9% in higher-risk patients, respectively; the overall major HI rates were 20% and 22%. One higher-risk patient achieved a complete remission (3%). Major HIs were observed in all hematologic lineages; erythroid responses were the most common. Transfusion independence or reduction by ≥ 50% occurred in 33% of patients dependent on RBC transfusions. The overall median duration of HI was 6.8 months (range, 2 to 40 months). Conclusion Arsenic trioxide monotherapy has moderate activity against MDS, with a manageable adverse effect profile. The further study of arsenic trioxide in MDS, particularly in combination with other agents, is warranted.

Abstract Azacitidine treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) generally exacerbates thrombocytopenia during the first treatment cycles. A Study of Eltrombopag in Myelodysplastic Syndromes Receiving Azacitidine (SUPPORT), a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, investigated the platelet supportive effects of eltrombopag given concomitantly with azacitidine. International Prognostic Scoring System intermediate-1, intermediate-2, or high-risk MDS patients with baseline platelets &lt;75 × 109/L were randomized 1:1 to eltrombopag (start, 200 mg/d [East Asians, 100 mg/d], maximum, 300 mg/d [East Asians, 150 mg/d]) or placebo, plus azacitidine (75 mg/m2 subcutaneously once daily for 7 days every 28 days). The primary end point was the proportion of patients platelet transfusion-free during cycles 1 through 4 of azacitidine therapy. Based on planned interim analyses, an independent data monitoring committee recommended stopping the study prematurely because efficacy outcomes crossed the predefined futility threshold and for safety reasons. At termination, 28/179 (16%) eltrombopag and 55/177 (31%) placebo patients met the primary end point. Overall response (International Working Group criteria; complete, marrow, or partial response) occurred in 20% and 35% of eltrombopag and placebo patients, respectively, by investigator assessment. There was no difference in hematologic improvement in any cell lineage between the 2 arms. There was no improvement in overall or progression-free survival. Adverse events with ≥10% occurrence in the eltrombopag vs placebo arm were febrile neutropenia and diarrhea. Compared with azacitidine alone, eltrombopag plus azacitidine worsened platelet recovery, with lower response rates and a trend toward increased progression to acute myeloid leukemia. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02158936.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are heterogeneous for their morphology, clinical characteristics, survival of patients, and evolution to acute myeloid leukemia. Different prognostic scoring systems including the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS), the Revised IPSS, the WHO Typed Prognostic Scoring System, and the Lower-Risk Prognostic Scoring System have been introduced for categorizing the highly variable clinical outcomes. However, not considered by current MDS prognosis classification systems, gene variants have been identified for their contribution to the clinical heterogeneity of the disease and their impact on the prognosis. Notably, TP53 mutation is independently associated with a higher risk category, resistance to conventional therapies, rapid transformation to leukemia, and a poor outcome. Herein, we discuss the features of monoallelic and biallelic TP53 mutations within MDS, their corresponding carcinogenic mechanisms, their predictive value in current standard treatments including hypomethylating agents, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and lenalidomide, together with the latest progress in TP53-targeted therapy strategies, especially MDS clinical trial data.

Two oral hypomethylating agents, oral azacitidine (CC-486) and decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727), have recently entered the clinical domain. CC-486 has been shown to improve overall survival as maintenance therapy for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia in complete remission, whereas the combination of decitabine with cedazuridine, a cytidine deaminase inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with intermediate-1, or higher, International Prognostic Scoring System risk. This article briefly summarizes the clinical development of both drugs, the pivotal studies that led to their approval and some of the issues faced in extending the use of these drugs to other indications.

Abstract BACKGROUND Low grade gliomas (LGGs) develop in young adults and represent 10-15% of all glial tumors. While LGG patients can have longer survival than higher grade tumors, progression, transformation, and ultimately mortality occurs. Mutations in Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/IDH2) are prevalent in LGG and are responsible for gliomagenesis. The classic IDH1 mutation is located at 132 codon and represented as p.Arg132His, but there are non-canonical IDH1 and IDH2 mutations. We sought to compare clinical characteristics of LGG patients with classic IDH1 p.Arg132His mutation to LGG patients with non-canonical IDH1 and IDH2 mutations. METHODS We queried an IRB-approved registry retrospectively from 12/2004- 9/2019. We included IDH1/IDH2 mutant LGG (WHO grade II) and known IDH1 and IDH2 targeted mutation analysis using standard PCR followed by DNA sequencing to detect point mutations in IDH1/IDH2 genes. We obtained available clinical and histopathological data. We estimated progression-free survival (PFS), time to transformation (TT), and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier methods. RESULTS We identified 267 LGG patients with median follow-up of 9.1 yrs (95%CI 8.4-9.9 yrs). Classic IDH1 p.Arg132His mutation occurred in 223 (83.9%) patients. IDH2 mutations occurred in 14 (5.2%) patients. Non-canonical IDH1 mutations were in 30 (11.2%) patients and included the following mutations: p.Arg132Cys (13), p.Arg132Gly (10), p.Arg132Ser (4), p.Arg132Leu (1), p.Arg119Gln (1), and p.Arg172Met (1). Initial presentation, OS, and TT did not differ between IDH1/IDH2 groups. PFS differed significantly between groups with improved median PFS in IDH2 mutant LGG (5.4 yrs; 95%CI 3.5-25.2) versus classic IDH1 mutant LGG (4.1 yrs; 95%CI 3.7-4.9 yrs) and non-canonical IDH1 mutant LGG (2.6 yrs; 95%CI 2.1-4.8) (log-rank p=0.019). Notably, non-canonical mutations were more common in astrocytoma (22/30; 73.3%) than other LGG histologies (p=0.018). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort, LGG patients with non-canonical mutations have a shorter time to progression than patients with classic p.Arg132His mutation and IDH2 mutations.

INTRODUCTION The extensive use of prostate-specific antigen as a general prostate cancer biomarker has introduced the hazards of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Recent studies have revealed the immense biomarker capacity of microRNAs (miRNAs) in prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression pattern of miR-224, a cancer-related miRNA, in prostate tumors and investigate its clinical utility. METHODS Total RNA was isolated from 139 prostate tissue samples. After the polyadenylation of total RNA by poly(A) polymerase, cDNA was synthesized with a suitable poly(T) adapter. miR-224 expression was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR and analyzed with the comparative quantification cycle method, Cq(2−ΔΔCq). We performed comprehensive biostatistical analyses to explore the clinical value of miR-224 in prostate cancer. RESULTS miR-224 expression was significantly downregulated in malignant samples compared with benign samples (P &lt; 0.001). Higher miR-224 expression levels were found in prostate tumors that were less aggressive (P = 0.017) and in an earlier disease stage (P = 0.018). Patients with prostate cancer who were positive for miR-224 had significantly enhanced progression-free survival intervals compared with miR-224–negative patients (P = 0.021). Univariate bootstrap Cox regression confirmed that miR-224 was associated with favorable prognosis (hazard ratio 0.314, P = 0.013); nonetheless, multivariate analysis, adjusted for conventional markers, did not identify miR-224 as an independent prognostic indicator. CONCLUSIONS miR-224 is aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer. Its assessment by cost-effective quantitative molecular methodologies could provide a useful biomarker for prostate cancer.
