Abstract
Molecularly defined secondary acute myeloid leukemia is associated with a prior myeloid neoplasm and confers a worse prognosis. We compared outcomes of molecularly defined secondary AML patients (n = 395) treated with daunorubicin and cytarabine (7 + 3, n = 167), liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351, n = 66) or hypomethylating agents (HMA) + venetoclax (VEN) (n = 162). Median overall survival (OS) was comparable between treatment groups among patients aged >60 years. In a multivariable model HMA + VEN vs. 7 + 3 was associated with better OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42-0.98, p = 0.041]), whereas CPX-351 vs. 7 + 3 was not (HR 0.79 [CI 95% 0.50-1.25, p = 0.31]). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, BCOR and IDH mutations were associated with improved OS; older age, prior myeloid disease, NRAS/KRAS mutations, EZH2 mutation, and monosomal karyotype were associated with worse OS. When analyzed in each treatment separately, the IDH co-mutations benefit was seen with 7 + 3 and the detrimental effect of NRAS/KRAS co-mutations with HMA + VEN and CPX-351. In pairwise comparisons adjusted for age, HMA + VEN was associated with improved OS vs. 7 + 3 in patients with SF3B1 mutation and improved OS vs. CPX-351 in those with RNAsplicing factormutations. In molecularly defined secondary AML treatment with HMA + VEN might be preferred but could further be guided by co-mutations.
