Abstract
BACKGROUND Venetoclax (Ven) combined with intensive chemotherapy was proven effective in the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the severe and prolonged myelosuppression remains a concern to worry about. To explore more appropriate combination regimens, we designed Ven combining daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA 2 + 6) regimen as induction therapy, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety in adults de novo AML. METHODS A phase 2 clinical trial was performed in 10 Chinese hospitals to investigate Ven combined with daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA 2 + 6) in patients with AML. The primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), comprising of complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood cell count recovery (CRi), and partial response (PR). Secondary endpoints included measurable residual disease (MRD) of bone marrow assessed by flow cytometry, overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and the safety of regimens. This study is a currently ongoing trial listed on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry as ChiCTR2200061524. RESULTS Overall, 42 patients were enrolled from January 2022 to November 2022; 54.8% (23/42) were male, and the median age was 40 (range, 16-60) years. The ORR after one cycle of induction was 92.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 91.6-94.1; 39/42) with a composite complete response rate (CR + CRi) 90.5% (95% CI, 89.3-91.6, CR 37/42, CRi 1/42). Moreover, 87.9% (29/33) of the CR patients with undetectable MRD (95% CI, 84.9-90.8). Grade 3 or worse adverse effects included neutropenia (100%), thrombocytopenia (100%), febrile neutropenia (90.5%), and one mortality. The median neutrophil and platelet recovery times were 13 (5-26) and 12 (8-26) days, respectively. Until Jan 30, 2023, the estimated 12-month OS, EFS, and DFS rates were 83.1% (95% CI, 78.8-87.4), 82.7% (95% CI, 79.4-86.1), and 92.0% (95% CI, 89.8-94.3), respectively. CONCLUSION Ven with DA (2 + 6) is a highly effective and safe induction therapy for adults with newly diagnosed AML. To the best of our knowledge, this induction therapy has the shortest myelosuppressive period but has similar efficacy to previous studies.

[PMID: 35186733 PMCID: PMC8847395 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.785899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurate prognostic stratification of patients can provide guidance for personalized therapy. Many prognostic models for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been reported, but most have considerable inaccuracies due to contained variables with insufficient capacity of predicting survival and lack of adequate verification. Here, 235 genes strongly related to survival in AML were systematically identified through univariate Cox regression analysis of eight independent AML datasets. Pathway enrichment analysis of these 235 genes revealed that the IL-2/STAT5 signaling pathway was the most highly enriched. Through Cox proportional-hazards regression model and stepwise algorithm, we constructed a six-gene STAT5-associated signature based on the most robustly survival-related genes related to the IL-2/STAT5 signaling pathway. Good prognostic performance was observed in the training cohort (GSE37642-GPL96), and the signature was validated in seven other validation cohorts. As an independent prognostic factor, the STAT5-associated signature was positively correlated with patient age and ELN2017 risk levels. An integrated score based on these three prognostic factors had higher prognostic accuracy than the ELN2017 risk category. Characterization of immune cell infiltration indicated that impaired B-cell adaptive immunity, immunosuppressive effects, serious infection, and weakened anti-inflammatory function tended to accompany high-risk patients. Analysis of in-house clinical samples revealed that the STAT5-assocaited signature risk scores of AML patients were significantly higher than those of healthy people. Five chemotherapeutic drugs that were effective in these high-risk patients were screened in silico. Among the five drugs, MS.275, a known HDAC inhibitor, selectively suppressed the proliferation of cancer cells with high STAT5 phosphorylation levels in vitro. Taken together, the data indicate that the STAT5-associated signature is a reliable prognostic model that can be used to optimize prognostic stratification and guide personalized AML treatments.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia among adults and accounts for the largest number of annual deaths due to leukemias in the United States. Recent advances have resulted in an expansion of treatment options for AML, especially concerning targeted therapies and low-intensity regimens. This portion of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for AML focuses on the management of AML and provides recommendations on the workup, diagnostic evaluation and treatment options for younger (age <60 years) and older (age ≥60 years) adult patients.
