Kurzfassung:
About 25% of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) have normal cytogenetics and no nucleophosmin 1 ( NPM1 ) mutation or Fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication ( FLT3‐ ITD). The prognosis and best therapy for these patients is controversial. We evaluated 158 newly diagnosed adults with this genotype who achieved histological complete remission within two cycles of induction therapy and were assigned to two post‐remission strategies with and without an allotransplant. Targeted regional sequencing at diagnosis was performed and data were used to estimate their prognosis, including relapse and survival. In multivariable analyses, having wild‐type or mono‐allelic mutated CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein alpha ( CEBPA ) [hazard ratio (HR) 2·39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·08–5·30; P = 0·032), mutated NRAS (HR 2·67, 95% CI 1·36–5·25; P = 0·004), mutated colony‐stimulating factor 3 receptor ( CSF3R ) (HR 2·85, 95% CI 1·12–7·27; P = 0·028) and a positive measurable residual disease (MRD)‐test after the second consolidation cycle (HR 2·88, 95% CI 1·32–6·30; P = 0·008) were independently correlated with higher cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR). These variables were also significantly associated with worse survival (HR 3·02, 95% CI 1·17–7·78, P = 0·022; HR 3·62, 95% CI 1·51–8·68, P = 0·004; HR 3·14, 95% CI 1·06–9·31, P = 0·039; HR 4·03, 95% CI 1·64–9·89, P = 0·002; respectively). Patients with ≥1 of these adverse‐risk variables benefitted from a transplant, whereas the others did not. In conclusion, we identified variables associated with CIR and survival in patients with AML and normal cytogenetics without a NPM1 mutation or FLT3‐ ITD.
