Abstract Detailed cytogenetic analyses were performed on specimens from 198 patients with de novo acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), including high-resolution banding studies in 79 patients. One hundred ninety-two patients received induction therapy with daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) with an overall complete response rate (CR) of 63%. Responding patients received repetitive cycles of Ara-C-based intensification therapy. Clonal abnormalities were detected in 69% of the patients with specimens adequate for cytogenetic analysis. Certain cytogenetic changes were closely associated with French-American- British (FAB) morphology, age, and outcome: t(8;21) (closely associated with FAB M2), t(15;17) (associated with FAB M3), and abn 16q22 (associated with FAB M4EOS) tended to occur in younger patients and were associated with favorable outcomes in terms of both CR rate and long-term disease-free survival. In contrast, 19% of patients who had - 5/5q- and or -7/7q- and seven patients with trisomy 8 were older, had a poor prognosis, and usually failed to achieve remission (CR) because of chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. The adverse effect on CR rate and duration in this group of patients was independent of age, and there was no association with particular morphologic subtypes. These data suggest that cytogenetic findings should influence future therapeutic choices. In particular, patients with abnormalities associated with poor responses may be considered for investigational approaches and may also provide insights into mechanisms of drug resistance.

e19018 Background: Advances in molecular profiling have identified recurring gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that have independent prognostic significance with several being targets for the development of new small molecule inhibitors. DNMT3A mutations have been reported in up to 34% of patients with AML. Mutations of this gene are associated with silencing of tumor suppressor genes, thereby leading to leukemogenesis. Several prior reports have suggested an association with worse outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 258 patients with ND AML with DNMT3A mutations who presented to our institution from 2002 to 2020. We analyzed their clinical and laboratory characteristics. We estimated their overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) through the Kaplan-Meier method. P-value was 2-tailed, ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant with a confidence interval of 95%. Univariate and multivariate analyses were also applied. Results: Our cohort had a median age of 66 years, 56% were female. The majority of the patients (77%) had de novo AML and the M0 FAB subtype was predominantly observed in 70%. Diploid karyotype was detected in 60% while complex karyotype in 14% of patients. DNMT3A was most frequently mutated at codon 882 (64%). NPM1 was the most frequent concomitant mutation followed by FLT3-ITD and IDH2. Age > 65 years (p = 0.001) and presence of concomitant TP53 mutation (p < 0.001) were associated with worse survival and concomitant NPM1 was associated with a 40% reduction of death, p = 0.003. Secondary AML and concurrent TP53 mutation were associated with a higher risk of relapse, (p < 0.001 for both). Intensive chemotherapy (ICT) was administered to 82 patients of which 68 achieved a complete response or CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi). Nineteen patients were treated with Cladribine plus low dose Ara-C (Clad-LDAC) and CR or CRi was achieved in 16 patients. Eleven treated with Clad-LDAC-Ven and all achieved CR/CRi. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) were given to 22 patients of which 10 achieved CR/CRi. Twenty-five received HMA-Ven, of these, CR/CRi was achieved in 20 patients (p = 0.02). There was an 80% and 90% reduction of death with ICT, p < 0.001 and Clad-LDAC-Ven, p = 0.04 respectively. Moreover, the risk for relapse was reduced by 70% and 90% with ICT and Clad-LDAC-Ven respectively. Ninety-seven patients were treated with immunotherapy, FLT3 inhibitors, and IDH inhibitors, which were not included in this analysis. Conclusions: DNMT3A mutations have an independent prognostic impact in patients diagnosed with AML. Among these patients, older age, secondary AML, a concomitant mutation in TP53 showed a significant negative impact in terms of OS and DFS. Concomitant mutations in NPM1 and IDH2 were associated with better outcomes. Treatment with intensive chemotherapy or clad-LDAC-Ven was associated with the highest response rates.

Abstract Abstract 951 AML cells with CD34+CD38-CD123+ phenotype represent a subset enriched in leukemic stem cells. Moreover, this subpopulation has been described to be resistant to genotoxic agents as compared with leukemic bulk. However, the clinical impact of the amount of CD34+CD38-CD123+ remains poorly described. In this study we evaluated the prognostic impact of the amount of CD34+CD38-CD123+ cells detected at diagnosis in a series of AML patients treated by intensive chemotherapy according to trials from the French GOELAMS group. Quantification of blast cells with the CD34+CD38-CD123+ phenotype was achieved by flow cytometry in 111 patients less than 66 years old with de novo AML treated by 3+7-like chemotherapy. The characteristics of the patients are shown in table 1. Age, WBC count, NPM1 mutation and FLT3-ITD had no impact on achievement of complete response (CR) whereas, CD34+CD38-CD123+ (>15%) and unfavourable karyotype were significantly correlated with lack of CR. By logistic regression, CD34+CD38-CD123+ (>15%) retains significance for CR achievement with an OR of 0.3 (0.11-0.84) (p=0.02). For the 91 complete responders, age, WBC count, karyotype, NPM1 mutation had no impact on disease-free survival (DFS).Interestingly, patients with <1%, 1–15%, >15% CD34+CD38-CD123+ had a median DFS of 57.6 (SE 6.6), 11.2 (SE 7.5) and 9.2 (SE 13.4) months, respectively (p<0.0001, figure 1). FTL3-ITD was also significantly associated with a shorter DFS. In multivariate analysis, CD34+CD38-CD123+<1% was significantly associated with a longer DFS (p=0.00025). Age, %CD34+CD38-CD123+, karyotype, NPM mutation and FLT3-ITD significantly influenced overall survival (OS) whereas WBC count had no impact. Median OS was particularly impressive for patients with CD34+CD38-CD123+<1%. Indeed, median OS was 78.2 (SE 10.7), and 15.3 (SE 5.8) months for CD34+CD38-CD123+<1% vs others, respectively (p<0.0001, figure 1). Multivariate analysis for OS retains two significant factors: adverse karyotype (95%CI, 1.19–4.02, p=0.012) and CD34+CD38-CD123+<1% (95%CI, 0.12–0.52, p=0.00018). Moreover, although the number of patients was low in favourable karyotype (CBF), CD34+CD38-CD123+<1% had a major impact on both DFS, median 57.6 vs 10.2 months for >1% (HR, 0.19, 0.06–0.59, p=0.0038) and OS, median not reached vs 18.5 months (p=0.0025). This study emphasizes the prognosis impact of the CD34+CD38-CD123+ cell burden in AML patients, which is predictive for shorter OS and DFS when representing more than 1% of the leukemic cells, regardless of the usual prognosis categories. We provide here a new prognosis marker that may be easily translated to the clinical practice in AML although it remains to be validated on a large prospective cohort of patients. Moreover, new therapies targeting this subpopulation could help to improve outcome in AML patients.TableCharacteristics of patients.All patients N=111CD34+CD38-CD123+< 1 % N=40CD34+CD38-CD123+ 1-15% N=20CD34+CD38-CD123+> 15% N=20Gender, M/F50/6219/2124/276/14Age, median48 (20–65)47 (20–65)51 (20–64)50 (21–65)WBC,median (G/L)33.2 (1–254)13.8 (1–237.7)41 (1.3–254)32.9 (2.3–193.2)Favourable caryotype231184Intermediate caryotype6924378Unfavourable caryotype19568NPM1 mutation28/957/3116/455/19FLT3-ITD33/1007/3421/475/19Complete Response91 (82%)36 (90%)42 (81.4%)13 (65%)Relapse53 (58.2%)13 (36.1%)30 (71.4%)10 (76.9%)Allogeneic-SCT33 (36.3%)11 (30.6%)15 (35.7%)7 (53.8%) Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Twenty-six of 45 adults (58%) with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia who were treated with intensive induction chemotherapy over 5 yr ago entered complete remission. All patients entering remission were placed on weekly maintenance chemotherapy consisting of cytosine arabinoside and 6-thioguanine. The median duration of complete remission was 17 mo and 7 patients (27%) remained in their initial remission for 62 + to 102 + mo. All but one of the patients in complete remission over 5 yr have had treatment discontinued. Only 1 of 7 patients in remission for more than 5 yr has relapsed. Median survival is 26.5 mo, and 8 patients (31%) currently remain alive without evidence of leukemia 63--105 mo from diagnosis. It is possible to achieve long-term disease-free survival with chemotherapy alone in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

Abstract High-dose (HD) cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) is more effective treatment than conventional-dose ARA-C regimens for patients with relapsed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). We report here that HD ARA-C given during the first remission of ANLL has resulted in long remission durations and a high proportion of patients who survive more than three years free of disease. From August 1979 to September 1983, 36 adult patients with ANLL in first remission received one to three courses of HD ARA-C (3 g/m2 by one-hour infusion every 12 hours for 12 doses on days 1 through 6) alone or with daunorubicin (30 mg/m2 for two or three doses on days 7 through 9). Three patients died of sepsis or hemorrhage during consolidation, and 14 patients have relapsed from five to 48 months after diagnosis. The remaining 19 patients are in continued complete remission (CCR) from 11 to 62 months. Denoting all deaths in remission as relapse, the actuarial probability of CCR is 42% at 62 months, with an apparent plateau in the survival curve. Of the first 22 patients treated, ten remain in CCR from 37 to 62 months with no therapy for at least three years. Due to its heightened anti-leukemic activity, HD ARA-C allows brief but effective consolidation of ANLL in first remission, with long-term disease-free survival comparable to other approaches.

Abstract In order to reduce toxicity in elderly patients with newly diagnosed APL, since 3/1997 the Italian cooperative group GIMEMA evaluated an amended AIDA protocol for patients aged &gt; 60 years, consisting of the same induction with ATRA and Idarubicin but only 1st consolidation course (Idarubicin + Cytarabine), followed by 2 years maintenance with ATRA alone. Up to now, 56 patients (25 males and 31 females, median age 66.2 years, 46 with PS 0-1 and 10 with PS 2) are fully evaluable. At onset, according to GIMEMA-PETHEMA risk score, 18 were low-risk(32.5%), 31 intermediate risk (55%) and 7 high risk (12.5%). After induction treatment, 54 patients (96.4%) achieved CR and 2 (3.6%) died from haemorrhage (1) and infection (1). ATRA syndrome was documented in 5 patients (9.3%): 13/56 patients (23.2%) showed during induction other toxicities (WHO 3 – 4) not related to ATRA. After CR achievement, 2 patients died in CR from haemorrhage (1) and infection (1) and 52 received the consolidation course: on the whole, during consolidation 4 patients (7.6%) had a toxicity WHO 3 – 4 and 2 of them (3.8%) died from haemorrhage (1) and infection (1). The remaining 50 patients started maintenance treatment: up to now, 12 patients (22.2%) relapsed, after a median time from morphological CR of 19 months (range 7 – 86). Overall survival (OS) was 76.1% and 73.3% at 3 and 5 years, respectively. Disease free survival (DFS) was 64.5% and 61.3% at 3 and 5 years, respectively. At the univariate analysis, PS =2 (p=0.0019), WBC count &gt; 3 x 109 /l (p=0.018) and male gender (p=0.03) had a bad prognostic impact on DFS, while only PS=2 (p=0.05) did it on OS. Age, PLTS count, WBC count &gt; 10 x 109 /l, and risk score did not affect both OS and DFS. At the multivariate analysis on DFS, only PS =2 retained prognostic significance (HR = 3.8). In conclusion, the amended GIMEMA protocol has shown to be effective and safe in elderly APL patients, as the rate of death in CR was reduced when compared with previous results in not amended GIMEMA LAP AIDA 0493: however, to face with a relapse rate &gt; 20%, future strategies might be designed which exploit the use of more targeted approaches including combinations of ATRA, arsenic trioxide, and anti-CD33 monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract Abstract 2030 HSCT after reduced or minimal intensity conditioning is increasingly used to treat AML patients not eligible for conventional HSCT. Short term outcome has been reported frequently and risk factors have been identified; long term results still await in depth evaluation. We report here 5 years follow up results from a prospective phase II study conducted by two AML study groups in Europe. Patients were recruited from AML protocols HOVON/SAKK AML 43 and the OSHO AML 1997 study. The regimen consisted of fludarabine (FLU), 30 mg/m2/d on days −4, −3, and −2, 2 Gy TBI on day 0 (the day of HSCT) with mycophenolate mofetil, [15 mg/kg p.o. b.i.d. from 5 hours after HSCT to day +40], and cyclosporine, [CSP; 6.25 mg/kg p.o. bid from day –3 to day +180] after HSCT. Cyclosporine was adjusted to trough levels and reduced according to a predetermined tapering schedule and donor type. A total of 96 patients were recruited between 5/2002 and 8/2005 in the study. Age was median 62 (range 40 – 74) years, 54 patients were male (56%) and 73 patients (76%) had de novo AML. The remission status on entry was CR1 in 83 (86%) patients and CR2 in 13 (14%). Of the 96 patients, 20% had high risk cytogenetics and SCT was performed a median of 75 days after chemotherapy. There were no statistical differences in the above described characteristics except for more secondary AML (p=0.04) and more CR2 patients (p=0.07) among the 59 unrelated SCT (61%) as compared to the 37 related SCT (39%). Graft rejection at two years was observed in 6% of the patients. Absence of chronic GvHD was diagnosed in 40% and limited chronic GvHD in 29% of the patients, with no difference between related and unrelated SCT. Probability of overall survival (OS) at 6 years with a median follow up of 64 (49–92) months reaches a plateau after 5 years at 0.33±0.05 and was not significantly better in CR1 than in CR2. However, there was a trend towards better OS at 6 years for unrelated 0.41±0.11 as compared to related 0.29±0.07 SCT (p=0.08) in CR1 only. This difference was significant for disease free survival (DFS) (0.48±0.09 unrelated vs 0.27±0.06 related; p=0.04), the major reason being a higher relapse rate in related as compared to unrelated SCT (0.62±0.08 vs 0.40±0.09). The overall non-relapse mortality at 6 years was 0.21±0.05. We conclude that OS and DFS reach a stable plateau from 5 years after SCT to more than 8 years after SCT. In CR1 patients, DFS is superior after unrelated as compared to related SCT. Accordingly, strategies designed to decrease relapse, especially after related SCT, have already been implemented in the ongoing protocols. The preferential use of unrelated rather than related donors may be beneficial and should be considered in future protocols. Disclosures: Off Label Use: Transplantation in elderly patients.

Abstract Introduction: Prognosis of AML pts is still poor mainly because of refractoriness to or relapse after intensive chemotherapy. High rates of relapse are also attributed to LSCs, which are a small subset of cells with acquired abnormal self-renewal capacity and increased resistance to chemotherapy. A better understanding of LSCs is critical to improve outcomes of pts with AML. Ng et al. (Nature 2016;540:433) defined a 17 stemness-associated gene score that was highly prognostic. Aims: The aim of this study was to validate the prognostic relevance of the 17-gene LSC score and explore its utility in the context of the ELN classification. We also examined gene mutations associated with the 17-gene LSC score. Methods: We analyzed a total of 934 pts [729 aged <60 years (y) and 205 aged ≥60 y] with de novo AML. We used whole transcriptome expression data (RNAseq) to calculate the aforementioned 17-gene LSC score for each pt in our cohort. Similar to Ng et al., we used the median of the whole cohort to discriminate between pts with LSChigh and LSClow scores. The mutational status of 80 cancer- and leukemia-associated genes (Eisfeld et al. Leukemia 2017;31:2211) were determined using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel, CEBPA mutations using Sanger sequencing, and an internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FLT3 gene using fragment analysis in pretreatment bone marrow or blood samples. All pts were treated on frontline Cancer and Leukemia Group B/Alliance protocols. Results: A comparison of pretreatment clinical and genetic features revealed that LSChigh pts were older (P<.001; median age, 53 vs 46 y) and had higher platelet counts (P<.001; median, 63 vs 50x109/L) than LSClow pts. Pts with a LSChigh score more frequently had FLT3-ITD (P<.001) and mutations in the ASXL1 (P=.001), DNMT3A (P<.001), RUNX1 (P=.002), SRSF2 (P=.02), STAG2 (P=.009), TET2 (P=.008) and TP53 (P<.001) genes. Conversely, these pts had a lower frequency of biallelic CEBPA (P<.001), GATA2 (P=.008) and KIT (P<.001) mutations. Because of differences in treatment intensity, we analyzed outcomes of younger and older pts separately. Younger pts with a LSChigh score had a lower complete remission (CR) rate (P<.001; 63% vs 87%), shorter disease-free survival (DFS; P<.001; 3-y rates, 26% vs 48%; Figure 1A) and overall survival (OS; P<.001; 3-y rates, 27% vs 59%; Figure 1B) compared to those of LSClow pts. In multivariable analyses including clinical and genetic factors that impact on outcome, a LSChigh score associated with lower remission rates (P<.001; HR: 0.36), shorter DFS (P<.001; HR: 1.67) and OS (P<.001; HR: 1.88) after adjusting for other co-variates. We also analyzed the prognostic impact of the LSC score with respect to the 2017 ELN classification. We found that LSC score associated with different ELN groups (P<.001), with LSChigh pts being more often classified in the Adverse or Intermediate group and less often in the Favorable group. Within the ELN Favorable and Adverse groups, LSChigh score retained its prognostic impact and identified pts with a lower CR rate and shorter DFS and OS (Table1). In older pts, a LSChigh score also associated with lower CR rate (P=.004; 50% vs 72%), shorter DFS (P=.04; 3-y rates, 6% vs 17%; Figure 1C) and OS (P<.001; 3-y rates, 9% vs 27%; Figure 1D). In multivariable analyses, LSC score remained significant only for OS (P<.003; HR: 1.70) after adjusting for other co-variates. Regarding the ELN classification, pts with LSChigh score in the Favorable group had shorter OS (P=.05; 3-y rates, 17% vs 50%) and, by trend, shorter DFS (P=.09; 3-y rates, 17% vs 39%); no significant differences were found in Intermediate or Adverse groups. Conclusions: We used RNAseq expression data and applied the previously established 17-gene LSC signature to score 934 de novo AML pts. We detected distinct mutational differences between LSChigh and LSClow pts, with LSChigh pts more often carrying gene mutations associated with age-related clonal hematopoiesis (i.e., ASXL1, DNMT3A, TET2, SRSF2 and TP53 mutations). Moreover, this score, derived from the expression of stemness-associated genes, has not only a prognostic impact on its own but also in the context of the current 2017 ELN classification.

This study evaluated the correlation between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and long-term oncologic outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). We evaluated TAMs based on the expression of CD68, CD11c, and CD163 as optimal markers via immunohistochemistry in 148 patients with CRC who underwent surgical resection between September 1999 and August 2004. A high proportion of CD68-positive macrophages were associated with the occurrence of distant metastasis. A low proportion of CD11c-positive macrophages were associated with unfavorable overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival. CD11c-positive macrophages were found to act as independent prognostic factors for OS. An analysis of our long-term data indicated that TAMs are significantly associated with OS and prognosis in CRC.

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical significances of p53 and p-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression on outcome predictors for patients with DLBC. We assessed the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and P-gp using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens in 108 patients diagnosed with de novo DLBC. A high expression of p53 was found in 53.7% of the patients. No expression of P-gp was demonstrated in any of the specimens. There were no significant differences in the complete remission (CR) rate (P=0.79), overall survival (OS) (P=0.73), or disease-free survival (DFS) (P=31) between the p53-positive and p53-negative groups. The final model from multivariate analysis that revealed poor performance status was significantly associated with CR (P<0.001) and OS (P<0.001). Moreover, the advanced stage was a significant predictor of DFS (P=0.03). This study demonstrated no impact of the expression of p53 on either response or survival rates.
