Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfusion-related iron overload (TRIO) is a widely acknowledged late effect of antineoplastic therapy in pediatric cancer survivors, but firm guidelines as to screening protocols or at-risk populations are lacking in the literature. PROCEDURE We performed retrospective analysis of all oncology patients diagnosed at our center from 2014 to 2019, who underwent TRIO screening as part of an internal quality improvement project. Correlations of MRI-confirmed TRIO with patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific features were evaluated. RESULTS We show that a tiered screening algorithm for TRIO, when followed as intended, led to the identification of the highest proportion of patients with TRIO. We confirm that cardiac TRIO is quite rare in the oncology patient population. However, accepted surrogate markers including red blood cell transfused volume and ferritin only modestly correlated with TRIO in our patient cohort. Instead, we found that older age, leukemia diagnosis, anthracycline exposure, and receipt of stem cell transplant were most strongly associated with risk for TRIO. CONCLUSIONS We describe associations between TRIO and patient, disease, and treatment characteristics in a multivariate risk model that could lead to an improved risk stratification of off-therapy patients, and which should be validated in a prospective manner.

Abstract
During the past decade, the outcomes of pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have plateaued with 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of approximately 46 and 64%, respectively. Outcomes are particularly poor for those children with high-risk disease, who have 5-year OS of 46%. Substantial survival improvements have been observed for a subset of patients treated with targeted therapies. Specifically, children with KMT2A-rearranged AML and/or FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations benefitted from the addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin, an anti-CD33 antibody-drug conjugate, in the AAML0531 clinical trial (NCT00372593). Sorafenib also improved response and survival in children with FLT3-ITD AML in the AAML1031 clinical trial (NCT01371981). Advances in characterization of prognostic cytomolecular events have helped to identify patients at highest risk of relapse and facilitated allocation to consolidative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in first remission. Some patients clearly have improved survival with HSCT, although the benefit is largely unknown for most patients. Finally, data-driven refinements in supportive care recommendations continue to evolve with meaningful and measurable reductions in toxicity and improvements in EFS and OS. As advances in application of targeted therapies, risk stratification, and improved supportive care measures are incorporated into current trials and become standard-of-care, there is every expectation that we will see improved survival with a reduction in toxic morbidity and mortality. The research agenda of the Children's Oncology Group's Myeloid Diseases Committee continues to build upon experience and outcomes with an overarching goal of curing more children with AML.

Venetoclax for Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Pediatric Patients: A Texas Medical Center Experience. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15071983. [PMID: 37046645 PMCID: PMC10093646 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15071983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax improves survival for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in combination with lower-intensity therapies, but its benefit in pediatric patients with AML remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed two Texas Medical Center institutions’ experience with venetoclax in 43 pediatric patients with AML; median age 17 years (range, 0.6–21). This population was highly refractory; 44% of patients (n = 19) had ≥3 prior lines of therapy, 37% (n = 16) had received a prior bone marrow transplant, and 81% (n = 35) had unfavorable genetics KMT2A (n = 17), WT1 (n = 13), FLT3-ITD (n = 10), monosomy 7 (n = 5), TP53 (n = 3), Inv(3) (n = 3), IDH1/2 (n = 2), monosomy 5 (n = 1), NUP98 (n = 1) and ASXL1 (n = 1). The majority (86%) received venetoclax with a hypomethylating agent. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events included febrile neutropenia in 37% (n = 16), non-febrile neutropenia in 12% (n = 5), anemia in 14% (n = 6), and thrombocytopenia in 14% (n = 6). Of 40 patients evaluable for response, 10 patients (25%) achieved complete response (CR), 6 patients (15%) achieved CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), and 2 patients (5%) had a partial response, (CR/CRi composite = 40%; ORR = 45%). Eleven (25%) patients received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant following venetoclax combination therapy, and six remain alive (median follow-up time 33.6 months). Median event-free survival and overall survival duration was 3.7 months and 8.7 months, respectively. Our findings suggest that in pediatric patients with AML, venetoclax is well-tolerated, with a safety profile similar to that in adults. More studies are needed to establish an optimal venetoclax-based regimen for the pediatric population.
