Abstract Introduction: Historically, clinical outcome of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), progressing on hypomethylating agents (HMA; azacitidine or decitabine) has been dismal with median overall survival (OS) of less than 6 months (Jabbour et al. Cancer 2010). With recent approval of venetoclax based combinations for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and CPX-351 for AML with MDS related changes (primary or secondary), clinical outcome has improved in sub-set of high-risk patients compared to historical cohorts. Hence, we analyzed clinical outcome of MDS patients progressing on HMA, in the current era of novel therapies. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical outcome of 43 MDS patients who progressed on HMA-based therapy and treated at the Mayo Clinic between February 2015 and February 2021. We describe clinical characteristics of these patients, therapies received after progressing on HMA-based therapy, duration of response attained after 1st line therapy post HMA-based therapy and OS from time of HMA failure till death or last follow up. We also performed Cox regression multivariate analysis for OS after progression on HMA-based therapy. Results: Baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1.The median age of the patients were 69 years (range [R], 48-93). R-IPSS score in this cohort of patients was very low (2[5%]), low (5[12%]), intermediate (5 [12%]), high (11[26%]) and very high (20 [46.5%]). Forty-nine percent of patients had complex cytogenetics. Most commonly occurring mutations (≥ 5%) were TP53 (42%), splicing mutation (SRSF2/SF3B1/ or U2AF1) (16%), ASXL1 (12%), RUNX1 (7%), DNMT3A (5%) and IDH1/ or IDH2 (5%). The HMA-based therapy patients received were azacitidine (40%), decitabine (30%) and HMA plus venetoclax (30%). The median time to progression from time of initiation of HMA-based therapy was 5 months (R= 1-30). Sixty-three percent (n= 27) of patients progressed to AML after HMA-based therapy. The most common 1 st line therapies post HMA was venetoclax-based (12 [28%]), CPX-351 (12 [28%]), and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) (4 [9%]). Fifteen (45.5%) patients achieved CR/CRi, 17 (51.5%) patients progressed and 1 (3%) patient had stable disease. The percentage of patients received venetoclax with HMA, 1 st and 2 nd line therapy post HMA were 26%, 28% and 10%, respectively. Overall, 11 (25%) patients received SCT in this cohort of patients. The median duration of response after 1 st line therapy post HMA was not reached (NR; 66% progression free at 1 year) (Figure 1A). The median OS after HMA failure was 12.7 months (95% CI: 3.1-22.2) (Figure 1B). In the univariate analysis for OS after HMA failure, SCT at any time point (p = 0.01) and achieving CR/CRi after 1 st line therapy post HMA (p= <0.001) showed favorable significance for OS. Whereas, R-IPSS high/very high (p= 0.35), treatment with CPX-351 on AML progression (p=0.33), venetoclax-based therapy (p= 0.59) did not show statistical significance. Subsequently, in multivariate analysis, only achievement of CR/CRi after 1 st line therapy post HMA retained significance for favorable OS (HR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-0.86, p= 0.03). Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report analyzing outcome of MDS patients progressing on HMA in the recent era. Acknowledging the limitations of retrospective analysis, our report suggests improved outcome of these high-risk patients compared to historical data. Utilizing venetoclax plus HMA combination earlier in patients with high-risk MDS as being evaluated in VERONA trial and consolidation therapy with SCT in eligible patients have potential to improve long term outcome of this group of high-risk patients.

Abstract Introduction: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A041202 is a NCI National Clinical Trials Network phase 3 study (NCT01886872) comparing BR (Arm 1) with ibrutinib (Arm 2) and the combination of ibrutinib plus rituximab (Arm 3) to determine whether ibrutinib-containing regimens are superior to chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), and whether rituximab adds benefit to ibrutinib therapy. Initial results showed that ibrutinib-containing regimens had superior PFS to CIT, and that rituximab added to ibrutinib did not improve PFS over ibrutinib alone. Pts and Methods: Eligible pts on A041202 were those age ≥ 65 years with previously untreated, symptomatic CLL. Pts had a CrCl > 40 mL/min, bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, and no significant life-limiting intercurrent illness or need for warfarin treatment. Pts were stratified on Rai stage, Zap-70 methylation performed centrally, and del(17)(p13.1) or del(11)(q22.3) by local interphase cytogenetics and were randomized 1:1:1 to each arm. Pts on Arm 1 who progressed could cross over to Arm 2. Here we present an updated analysis after the third planned interim analysis of Arms 2 and 3 versus Arm 1, and at the second planned interim analysis for Arms 3 vs 2. PFS and OS were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and corresponding hazard ratios with p-values were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. These data encompass patient visits through April 2020 and were locked 15 February 2021. Results: Between 12/9/2013 and 5/16/2016, 547 pts were randomized (Arms 1: 183, 2: 182, and 3: 182). Baseline characteristics have previously been reported; briefly, median age was 71 years, 53% had unmethylated Zap-70, 61% were IGHV unmutated (performed in 66% of patients), 6% had del(17p) and 20% del(11q) by central FISH. Stimulated karyotype was performed centrally and revealed ≥ 3 abnormalities in 27%, and ≥ 5 in 11% of patients. With median follow-up of 55 months (mo), median PFS was 44 mo (95% CI 38-54) in Arm 1 and has not been reached in Arms 2 or 3 [Arm 2 vs 1 hazard ratio (HR): 0.36, 95% CI 0.26-0.52, p<0.0001; Arm 3 vs 1 HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.25-0.51, p<0.0001; Arms 3 vs 2 HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.66-1.48, p=0.96]. 48-month PFS estimates were 47%, 76% and 76% in Arms 1, 2, and 3 respectively (Figure 1). At this time, there are no significant differences in overall survival (OS) among arms (p=0.49). 48-month OS estimates were 84%, 85%, and 86% in Arms 1, 2, and 3, respectively (Figure 2). The benefit of ibrutinib regimens over CIT, with no additional benefit of rituximab when combined with ibrutinib, was consistent for all subgroups of patients defined by TP53 abnormalities, del(11q), complex karyotype, and IGHV (Figure 3). No significant interaction effects were observed between treatment arm and del(11q), complex karyotype, or IGHV. However, greater benefit of ibrutinib regimens over CIT was observed among patients with TP53 abnormalities than without (p<0.001). Thus in Arm 1, PFS was significantly worse for those with TP53 abnormalities vs without (HR 5.32, 95% CI 3.05-9.27, p<0.0001), but in Arms 2 and 3 combined, there was no significant difference in PFS by presence/absence of TP53 abnormalities (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.51-1.91, p=0.98). Notable adverse events with ibrutinib include atrial fibrillation or flutter (afib) and hypertension (HTN). All grade afib was seen in 11 pts on BR (6%) and 67 pts on ibrutinib (19%). All grade HTN was seen in 95 pts on BR (54%) and 263 pts on ibrutinib (73%). Conclusions: This update of the A041202 trial continues to show that ibrutinib regimens prolong PFS over BR for older patients with treatment-naïve CLL. With longer follow-up, these benefits continue to be seen across subgroups, including those associated with higher risk disease. Strikingly, within the ibrutinib arms, there does not appear to be inferior PFS for patients with abnormalities in TP53, the highest risk feature seen in CLL, and a predictor of inferior PFS with ibrutinib in relapsed CLL. This differentiates ibrutinib (and perhaps BTKi in general) from other targeted therapy paradigms for treatment-naïve CLL. Similar to prior studies, rates of afib and HTN continue to increase with time on therapy. These data support the use of ibrutinib as initial therapy in CLL, and strengthen the rationale for use of ibrutinib for high risk disease.

Abstract Background: TP53 mutations occur in 10-20% of patients with AML, constitute high-risk disease as per ELN criteria, and confer poorer prognosis. Venetoclax combination therapies and CPX-351 were recently approved for AML treatment and lead to improved outcomes in subsets of high-risk AML, however the most effective approach for treatment of TP53-mutated (m) AML remains unclear. In this study we explored the clinical outcome of TP53m AML patients treated over the last 8 years as novel therapies have been introduced to our therapeutic armamentarium. Methods: We conducted a multicenter observational study in collaboration with 4 U.S. academic centers and analyzed clinical characteristics and outcome of 174 TP53m AML patients diagnosed between March 2013 and February 2021. Mutation analysis was performed on bone marrow specimens using 42, 49, 199, or 400 gene targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) panels. Patients with an initial diagnosis of AML were divided into 4 groups (GP) based on the progressive use of novel therapies in clinical trials and their approvals as AML induction therapy during different time periods: 2013-2017 (GP1, n= 37), 2018-2019 (GP2, n= 53), 2019-2020 (GP3, n= 48) and 2020-2021 (GP4, n= 36) to analyze difference in outcome. Results: Baseline characteristics were not significantly different across different GP, as shown in Table 1. Median age of patients was 68 (range [R], 18-83), 65 (R, 29-88), 69 (R, 37-90) and 70 (R, 51-97) years in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.40). The percentage of patients with de novo AML/secondary AML/therapy-related AML in GP1-4 was 40/40/20, 36/29/24, 37.5/37.5/25 and 28/52/20, respectively (p=0.82). The proportion of patients with complex cytogenetics (CG) was 92%, 89%, 96% and 94% in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.54). The median TP53m variant allele frequency (VAF) was 48% (range [R], 5-94), 42% (R, 5-91), 45% (R, 10-94) and 60% (R, 8-82) in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.38). Four (11%), 13 (24.5%), 10 (21%) and 9 (25%) patients had multiple TP53 mutations in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.33). The proportion of patients who received 3+7 (30%, 16%, 6% & 8%; p=0.01), HMA only (11%, 18%, 2% & 8%; p=0.06), venetoclax-based (2.5%, 12%, 48%, & 61%; p <0.01) and CPX-351 induction (16%, 40%, 28% & 5%; p<0.001) were varied in GP1-4, respectively. The rate of CR/CRi was 22%, 26%, 28% and 18% in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.63). Treatment related mortality during induction was observed in 3%, 7%, 10% and 17% of patients in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.18). Overall, 28 (16%) patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) after induction/consolidation: 22%, 15%, 17% and 11% in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.67). In subset analysis, there was no difference in the rate of CR/CRi with venetoclax-based regimens vs. others (39% vs 61%, p=0.18) or with CPX-351 vs. others (25% vs 75%, p=0.84). The median progression-free survival was 7.7, 7.0, 5.1 and 6.6 months in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.60, Fig 1A). The median overall survival (OS) was 9.4, 6.1, 4.0 and 8.0 months in GP1-4, respectively (p=0.29, Fig 1B). In univariate analysis for OS, achievement of CR/CRi (p<0.001) and alloHCT in CR1 (p<0.001) associated with favorable outcome, whereas complex CG (p=0.01) and primary refractory disease (p<0.001) associated with poor outcome. Multiple TP53 mutations (p=0.73), concurrent ASXL1m (p=0.86), extra-medullary disease (p=0.92), ≥ 3 non-TP53m mutations (p=0.72), TP53m VAF ≥ 40% vs. < 40% (p=0.25), induction with CPX-351 vs. others (p=0.59) or venetoclax-based regimen vs. others (p=0.14) did not show significance for favorable or poor OS in univariate analysis. In multivariable analysis, alloHCT in CR1 (hazard ratio [HR]=0.28, 95% CI: 0.15-0.53; p=0.001) retained an association with favorable OS and complex CG (HR 4.23, 95%CI: 1.79-10.0; p=0.001) retained an association with dismal OS. Conclusion: We present the largest experience with TP53m AML patients analyzed by NGS. Although outcomes were almost universally dismal, alloHCT appears to improve the long-term survival in a subset of these patients. Effective therapies are warranted to successfully bridge patients to alloHCT and to prolong survival for transplant ineligible patients. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Background Clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) is a risk factor for development of myeloid neoplasms (MN) such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN) is defined as the development of a MN in the context of prior DNA damaging therapies including chemotherapy, radiation, and immunosuppressive therapies. CCUS diagnosed in the setting of prior DNA damaging therapy (t-CCUS) and its outcomes are not known. The aim of this study was to study clinicopathological features and outcome of t-CCUS and compare it with t-MN. Methods Patients who had received DNA-damaging therapy and subsequently determined to have CCUS or t-MN were identified. The diagnosis of CCUS was made if the patient had non-diagnostic bone marrow biopsy evaluation combined with evidence of pathogenic myeloid somatic genetic alterations using conventional cytogenetics or next generation sequencing (NGS) panel. Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV) were stratified by DTA (DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1) genes vs. others. Event-free survival (EFS) was calculated using interval from t-CCUS to t-MN with death as a competing risk. Overall survival (OS) for t-CCUS and t-MN patients was calculated using interval from t-CCUS or t-MN diagnoses respectively to the last follow up. Statistical analysis was performed using JMP (v14.1, SAS Institute). Results We identified 30 patients with t-CCUS and 259 patients with t-MN. Eleven (37%) t-CCUS patients developed t-MN and were included in both cohorts (Fig. A). Clinical characteristics of t-CCUS patients are shown in Table 1. Briefly, age (median, interquartile range or IQR) at the diagnosis of primary malignancy and t-CCUS was not different between those who developed t-MN and those did not (P=0.09 and 0.378 respectively). There was no difference in hemoglobin, white blood cells, or ANC between the two groups. Patients who developed t-MN had a significantly lower platelet count (68 vs. 130, P<0.01) and higher bone marrow blast percent (2 vs. 0, P=0.04) compared to those who did not. At t-CCUS diagnosis, cytogenetics was abnormal in 11 (37%) patients and none had complex karyotype (CK). Paired cytogenetic analysis at t-CCUS and t-MN was available for 10 patients: 4 had unchanged karyotype at t-MN, whereas 6 had cytogenetic evolution. In contrast, 213 (83%) of 256 t-MN patients with available cytogenetics had abnormalities and 126/256 (49%) had CK. Thus, a significantly higher proportion of patients had CK t-MN compared to t-CCUS (χ 2 26.4, P<0.01). A 42-gene NGS panel identified 36 PV in 21 patients (median 1, range 1-4) at t-CCUS. The most common PV were in TET2 (37.1%), TP53 (11.4%), DNMT3A (8.6%), and ZRSR2 (8.6%) genes. Two patients had paired NGS available at t-CCUS and t-MN: one had BCOR and U2AF1 PV at t-CCUS and acquired an additional NRAS PV at t-MN. The second patient had 2 PV in TP53 at t-CCUS diagnosis, that remained the only PV identified at t-MN. In the t-MN cohort, median number of PV was 2 (range 1-9). The most common PV identified were TP53 (21.5%), TET2 (6.7%), DNMT3A (6.4%), and ASXL1 (6.4%), whereas 4.8% patients had no PV. Three of 22 patients in the t-CCUS cohort had TP53mut, compared to 55 of 157 in the t-MN cohort (χ 2 4, P=0.05). Management strategies for t-CCUS included observation (20), growth factors (4), treatment of primary malignancy (2), immunosuppressives (1), hypomethylating agent followed by allogeneic SCT (1), and others (2). Following t-CCUS, 9 patients progressed to MDS and 2 to AML with a median of 3.5 months (IQR 1.7-43.4). EFS was 43.4 months (IQR 6.8-80.9). The presence of abnormal cytogenetics (Fig. B) and the absence of DTA-mutations (Fig. C) predicted shorter EFS. At last follow up, 12 (40%) deaths were noted. Four (33%) patients died without developing t-MN. Causes of death in the t-CCUS cohort were: t-MN (3), primary malignancy (1), progressive cytopenia without MN (1), infection (1), graft-vs.-host-disease (1), and undetermined (5). t-MN patients had a significantly shorter survival compared to t-CCUS (Fig. D). Conclusion More than 10% of t-MN patients had a precursor t-CCUS. On the other hand, t-CCUS patients are at a high risk of progression to MN. t-MN is characterized by the acquisition of TP53mut, genomic instability, and a significantly shorter survival compared to t-CCUS. The presence of abnormal cytogenetics and the absence of DTA mutations at t-CCUS predict shorter EFS. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Background: The ECOG-ACRIN randomized phase 3 clinical trial E1912 established ibrutinib-rituximab (IR) as the standard of care for CLL patients <= 70 years in the frontline setting by improving the progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to previous standard chemo-immunotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) (Shanafelt et al. NEJM 2019). Quality of life (QOL) was an important secondary endpoint on this trial comparing continuous (IR) vs time-limited (FCR) therapy due to the differing profile of treatment-related toxicities over the short and long-term. E1912 patient-reported outcomes (PROs) results are presented here. Methods: Patients enrolled on E1912 completed the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) and Leukemia subscale at randomization (baseline), 3, 6, and 12 months post-randomization, and every 6 months for 2 years regardless of disease status. The primary outcome was the 31-item FACT-Leukemia Trial Outcome Index (FACT-Leu TOI), calculated by summing items from the FACT-G physical wellbeing (PWB), functional well-being (FWB), and leukemia subscales (score range: 0-124). The primary endpoint was defined as the difference in FACT-Leu TOI change scores from randomization to 12 months (at response evaluation) between patients treated with continuous therapy Arm A (IR) vs time-limited therapy Arm B (FCR). Mean change scores from baseline to each time point were calculated using all cases with data at baseline and the corresponding time point. Comparisons between treatment arms were performed using two-sample t tests. Linear mixed effects models were used to estimate the trajectories of PRO scores. Results: PRO data was extracted on 3/8/2021. PRO data was provided at baseline and 12 months for 233/354 (65.8%) patients on the IR arm and 118/175 (67.4%) patients on the FCR arm. At enrollment, there were no significant differences in the baseline FACT-Leu TOI scores (mean ± SE) between the two arms: IR (93.27 ± 1.03) vs FCR (92.68 ± 1.38; p=0.73). The FACT-Leu TOI score improved from baseline to 12 months in both arms (Table 1 and Figure 1). The change scores from baseline to 12 months, the primary outcome, were not significantly different between IR (7.59 ± 1.09) vs FCR (8.22 ± 1.44; p=0.73). Change in FACT-Leu TOI from baseline to 3 months was 5.77 ± 0.77 and 4.06 ± 1.18 (p=0.22); and from baseline to 6 months was 6.87 ± 0.87 and 8.01 ± 1.44 (p=0.50) in the IR and FCR arms, respectively. After the first 6 months of treatment, the improvement in FACT-Leu TOI scores was maintained in both treatment arms. There was no significant difference in total FACT-Leu TOI score in the continuous therapy (IR) vs time-limited therapy (FCR) arms over the first 36 months post registration. Analysis of FACT subscales showed PWB improved in the IR arm (0.37 ± 0.22) and declined in the FCR arm (-0.92 ± 0.39) from baseline to 3 months (p=0.004 for difference in PWB change between arms) but there was no significant difference between the two arms for change in PWB scores from baseline to 6 and 12 months. There were no significant differences between the two arms for change in FWB and FACT-Leu subscales from baseline to 3, 6 and 12 months. Conclusions: QOL improves in CLL patients age 70 and younger when treated in the frontline setting with IR or FCR. The improvement in QOL is maintained during continuous therapy with ibrutinib and there is no significant decline in QOL over time. Given the improvement in PFS and OS with IR over FCR seen in E1912, the results of this QOL analysis support the use of frontline ibrutinib in previously untreated younger CLL patients.

Abstract Background: Several targeted therapies have been recently approved as treatment options for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), however, complete remissions (CR) in relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients remain low. Due to suboptimal responses to standard therapies, most of these patients do not receive an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). In addition, AML patients ≥55 years have poor tolerance and high morbidity from a myeloablative HCT. The SIERRA trial (Study of Iomab-B in Elderly Relapsed or Refractory AML) has been investigating the use of Iomab-B, an 131I-labeled anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody, to reduce relapse in patients with active, R/R AML who receive HCT as compared to Conventional Care (CC) therapies. With the recent approval of various targeted therapies like BCL-2 inhibitors (e.g., venetoclax), FLT-3 inhibitors (e.g., midostaurin and gilteritinib) and IDH inhibitors (e.g., ivosidenib), the protocol was amended to include patients refractory to these therapies. We are reporting on the success rate of engraftment and tolerability of Iomab-B among the CC patients who cross-over to receive Iomab-B and HCT after failing these agents. Methods: Approximately 150 older patients with R/R AML are to be randomized (1:1) to receive Iomab-B followed by fludarabine, total body irradiation (2 Gy) and allogeneic HCT, or to conventional care (CC). CC patients receive physician's choice of therapy, including targeted therapies, and may proceed to standard of care allogeneic HCT if they achieve CR. CC patients not achieving CR may cross over to Iomab-B-based HCT. Results: Available data for 136 patients (>90% of target enrollment; median age 65) demonstrated they had a median of 3 (range: 1-7) prior lines of AML therapies. Median marrow blast at time of study entry was 25%. Prior to enrollment, 85 (63%) patients received targeted therapies, including BCL-2 inhibitors (62%), FLT-3 inhibitors (18%), IDH inhibitors (7%) and others (13%; e.g., gemtuzumab ozogamicin). Among the 50 evaluable patients in the Iomab-B group that received HCT, all successfully engrafted after a median radiation dose delivered to marrow of 14.7 Gy (range: 4.6 - 44.6) with a median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment of 14.5 (range: 9-28) and 18 (range: 4-58) days, respectively. Of 63 patients randomized to the CC arm and with data available, 11 (17%) achieved CR and proceeded to standard of care HCT without Iomab-B while 52 (83%) did not respond to CC therapy. Twenty-seven of 63 (43%) CC patients received targeted therapy, of whom 21 received venetoclax with hypomethylating agents (HMA) or low-dose Cytarabine (LDAC). Seven of the 27 (26%) CC patients remission after targeted therapy and received standard of care HCT. Of the 20 patients who did not respond to targeted therapies, 11 (55%) crossed-over and received Iomab-B/HCT with a median radiation dose delivered to marrow of 18 Gy (range: 12.6 - 22.6). Median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 12 (range: 10-27) and 20 (range: 15-38) days, respectively. Safety data are available for 103 transplanted patients in both groups and are presented in table. The incidence of Grade ≥3 febrile neutropenia (FN) was 37% vs 55%, sepsis 5% vs 30%, and mucositis 10% vs 20% in the Iomab-B group compared to all transplanted patients in the CC group. In patients who received targeted therapy and HCT (crossover or standard HCT), incidences of FN, sepsis and mucositis were 39%, 28% and 22%, respectively. Conclusion: SIERRA trial patients not achieving CR with recently approved targeted therapies who then crossed-over to receive HCT with Iomab-B successfully engrafted. Time to engraftment was similar to those who were randomized to receive Iomab-B and HCT. Available data suggest incidences of sepsis and mucositis are lower in the Iomab-B group.

Abstract Background: GILT is an oral potent selective FLT3 kinase inhibitor approved for marketing for the treatment (Tx) of patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory FLT3 mutated (FLT3m) AML but efficacy in older ND FLT3m AML pts is unknown. Furthermore, FLT3m can be present as a dominant or subclone and impact of FLT3 inhibitor therapy in this setting is uncertain. Here we report the results of a Phase 2/1b sub-study of the Beat AML Master Trial to assess the efficacy of GILT monotherapy (GILTm) in ND FLT3m AML pts aged ≥60 years with high and low VAF and the subsequent response-driven addition of DEC Tx. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03013998) Methods: The study was an open-label multicenter (15 sites), 3-outcome, 2-stage Phase 2 design that assigned pts to either Dominant FLT3/Group 1 (GP1) or Non-Dominant FLT3/Group 2 (GP2) as shown in Figure 1. Key eligibility criteria included ND FLT3m AML pts with high and low VAF and/or ITD ratio, aged ≥60 years, and ECOG performance status 0-2. In the Phase 2 study, all pts received GILTm 120 mg/day on days 1 - 28. Pts without CR/CRi after cycle 2 were transferred to the Phase 1b study to receive GILT + DEC (Figure 1). Phase 1b study utilized a standard 3+3 design to evaluate the safety/tolerability of concurrent GILT + DEC. Pts received GILT (dose level 1 [DL1] = 80 mg/day or dose level 2 [DL2] = 120 mg/day on days 1-28) + DEC 20 mg/m 2 IV on days 1-10 or 1-5 every 28 days. Primary endpoint was CR+CRi rate (Phase 2). Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The non-dominant GP2 was stopped for futility, GP1 was stopped early to modify trial to include venetoclax. Results: Phase 2 - Between 9/10/2018 to 2/11/2020, 19 / 20 enrolled pts (GP1: n = 9; GP2: n = 10) received GILTm and were included in analyses. Baseline pt characteristics are shown in Table 1. Median (range) time on GILTm was 3 cycles (1 - 18) in GP1 and 1 cycle (1 - 9) in GP2. Most common reasons for discontinuing Tx were Tx failure (TF; 44%) and relapse (33%) in GP1 and TF (70%) and disease progression (PD; 20%) in GP2. Overall CR+CRi was achieved in 4 pts (44%) in GP1 and 1 pt (10%) in GP2. Response duration are shown in Table 2. After median follow-up of 14.3 months (mos) and 19 mos in GP1 and GP2, respectively, 1-year OS was 56% and 76%. Most common Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were febrile neutropenia and colitis (each 25%) in GP1; anemia and low platelet count in GP2 (each 30%). Overall, 7 pts had 15 serious AEs (SAEs) and all SAEs occurred in GP1 pts; most common SAE was colitis (25%) and 1 pt (13%) had a Tx-related Grade 3 SAE of tumor lysis syndrome. In GP2, 1 pt (10%) had Tx-related Grade 2 AE of differentiation syndrome. In GP1, 2 pts died within 60 days of Tx and none in GP2. Phase1b - After up to 2 cycles of GILTm, 12 pts with no CR/CRi (GP1: n = 4; GP2: n = 8) were transferred to receive GILT + DEC (Figure 1). At the time of this report, 1 pt with CRh remained on Tx. Median total time on Tx (including GILTm) was 4 cycles and median time on GILT + DEC Tx was 3 cycles (Table 2). Most common reasons for discontinuing Tx were PD (33%) and TF (25%); and 2 pts (17%) stopped Tx due to an AE. Pts were treated with DL1 GILT + DEC (n = 3), then DL2 GILT + DEC (n = 9); only 1 pt had dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at DL2 (Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia and pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy), hence, DL2 GILT + DEC was considered the MTD. CR+CRi rate was 25% in 3 pts, all at DL2 (Table 2). After a median follow-up of 17.8 mos, the 1-year OS from start of GILT + DEC Tx was 57%. Most common Grade ≥3 Tx-related AEs were anemia, febrile neutropenia and low WBC count (each 22%). Overall, 6 pts had 12 SAEs; 1 pt with SAE of Grade 4 sepsis died. Three GILT-related SAEs occurred in 1 pt - Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia, and pneumonitis and Grade 1 transaminases increased. One pt died within 30 days and a second within 60 days of Tx. No difference was observed in GILT pharmacokinetics (PK) with or without DEC, however steady state Ctrough values were 1.4 to 2.3-fold greater than in relapsed/refractory AML pts (Admiral trial). Conclusions: In ND pts ≥60 years old with dominant FLT3 AML, GILTm induced a high 44% CR+CRi rate and long median OS (21.7 mos). Pts with non-dominant FLT3 had low 10% CR+CRi rate. GILTm was generally safe and was associated with differentiation syndrome in 1 pt. Concurrent GILT + DEC was acceptably tolerated, only 1 pt had a DLT, and the MTD was 120 mg/day GILT + DEC. A subset of pts with no CR/CRi during GILTm achieved remission with addition of DEC. Based on these results, a triple combination Tx study with venetoclax is currently enrolling. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Objective : We describe the Mayo Clinic experience in 797 newly-diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) serially treated with 7+3 induction chemotherapy that included 3 days of daunorubicin at a daily dose of 60 mg/m2 (dauno-60; n=239) or 90 mg/m2 (dauno-90; n=52), or idarubicin 12 mg/m2 (IDA-12; n=506). Our objective was to compare overall (OS) and relapse-free (RFS) survival outcome. Methods : Newly-diagnosed AML patients seen at our institution and received intensive induction chemotherapy were identified from the Mayo Clinic AML database. Treatment period spanned from January 2004 through May 2021. Follow-up information was updated as of June 2021. Conventional criteria were used to diagnose AML, assign cytogenetic risk category, and classify treatment response. Results : The study group included 797 patients (median age 60 years, range 18-88; 58% males): 506 (63%) patients received IDA-12, 239 (30%) dauno-60, and 52 (7%) dauno-90. The respective median (range) ages were 60 (18-88), 61 (19-82), and 53 (22-72) years (p=0.01) (Table). Primary, secondary, and therapy-related AML accounted for 65%, 25% and 10% of patients treated with IDA-12, 69%, 22%, and 9% of those treated with dauno-60, and 75%, 23% and 2% of patients treated with dauno-90, respectively (p=0.1). The corresponding frequencies of adverse karyotype were 34%, 25% and 25% (p=0.05). CR/CRi was documented in 78% (620/793) of all evaluable patients: IDA-12 80% (400/503), dauno-60 75% (175/238), and dauno-90 87% (45/52) (p=0.1). 210 (34%) patients underwent allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT), including 125 (25%), 59 (25%) and 26 (50%) patients, in the three treatment groups, respectively (p=0.0004). After a median (range) follow up 19 (0.2-203) months, 348 (54%) relapses and 518 (65%) deaths were documented. Median (range) survivals for IDA-12, dauno-60 and dauno-90 groups were 21 (0.3-243), 14.5 (0.45-198), and 27.7 (0.2-180) months (p=0.07; figure 1). The respective 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 67%, 42%, and 34% (IDA-12); 66%, 37%, and 30% (dauno-60); and 78%, 51%, and 49% (dauno-90), respectively; the trend favoring dauno-90 was no longer apparent during age-adjusted analysis (p=0.33). Multivariable analysis that accounted for age, cytogenetic risk category, FLT3-ITD/NPM1 status and AML subtype confirmed the lack of additional contribution from IDA-12 vs dauno-60 vs dauno-90 (p=0.2) while affirming the independent prognostic value of the other four variables; AHSCT carried an additional predictive value for superior survival without altering these results. A total of 348 (54%) relapses were documented: 228 (57%) in the IDA-12; 99 (57%) in the dauno-60; and 21 (47%) in the dauno-90 cohorts (p=0.7); RFS was similar in the three treatment groups (p=0.1; figure 2). Conclusion :In the current large single-institution study of consecutive adult patients with AML, neither the choice of anthracycline (idarubicin vs daunorubicin) or the dose of daunorubicin (60 vs 90 mg/m2) appeared to effect outcome in terms of remission rates or overall or relapse-free survival. The study otherwise confirms the independent favorable effect of younger age, non-adverse karyotype, FLT3-ITD-/NPM1+ status, and AHSCT. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Background: In vitro studies and emerging clinical data suggest that inhibition of spleen tyrosine kinase may have an antileukemic effect in human AML. Pts with AML and TP53 mutations (TP53m) are commonly associated with older age (≥60 years) and complex karyotype (CK) and respond poorly to standard 7 + 3 induction (IND) chemotherapy with <10% 1-year overall survival (OS). DEC has been reported to improve response in TP53m AML. Here, we report the results of a Phase 2 sub-study of the Beat AML Master Trial that assessed the efficacy of ENTO + DEC combination treatment (Tx) in ND AML patients (pts) with TP53m or CK aged ≥60 years. [ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03013998] Methods: This multicenter (13 sites), open-label, Phase 2 combination Tx study utilized Simon's 2-stage Phase 2 design and enrolled AML pts with TP53m (identified molecularly) ± CK (Cohort A) or CK (≥3 metaphase abnormalities) without TP53m (Cohort B). Pts initially received 5 days of ENTO lead-in (which was later discontinued), followed by ENTO + DEC and those who achieved CR/CRh/CRi/MLFS with up to 3 cycles of IND proceeded to consolidation (CON) Tx for up to 11 cycles (Figure 1). Pts with CRi/MLFS after IND were allowed up to 6 cycles (IND + CON) to achieve CR/CRh or stayed on Tx if they got clinical benefit or went off Tx. CON was followed by maintenance (MTN) Tx for up to 2 years from start of study Tx. Pts were eligible if aged ≥60 years, ND, and had ECOG performance status 0 - 2. Pts received ENTO 400 mg orally twice daily for 5 days during ENTO lead-in, and then every 28 days during IND, CON, and MTN + DEC 20 mg/m 2 IV days 1-10 (IND) or days 1-5 (CON) every 28 days. Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The primary endpoint was composite complete remission (CCR) rate (CR + CRh) with up to 3 cycles of IND, and CRi/MLFS that achieved CR/CRh by up to 6 cycles (IND + CON). Beyond stage 1, pt accrual to Cohort A was allowed based on pts with CRi and to Cohort B was stopped early for futility. Results: Between Oct 2017 and Feb 2020, of the 63 pts enrolled (Cohort A = 48; Cohort B = 15), pts with confirmed eligibility who started study Tx were included in the analyses (Cohort A = 45; Cohort B = 13). During lead-in, 27 pts in Cohort A and 6 pts in Cohort B received ENTOm for 5 days. All pts received ENTO + DEC except 1 pt in Cohort A who withdrew consent (WOC). Median ages of the pts were 70 years (range 60 - 84) in Cohort A and 74 years (range 65 - 86) in Cohort B. Median time (range) on Tx was 2.2 mos and 4.8 mos in Cohort A and B, respectively. Most common reasons for Tx discontinuation were adverse event (AE; 27%), Tx failure (TF; 27%) and WOC (18%) in Cohort A; TF (31%), disease progression and relapse (each 15%) in Cohort B. In each cohort, 1 pt discontinued Tx due to death from leukemia and 1 pt in Cohort A in CRh due to development of an additional genetic abnormality. Four pts (9%) in Cohort A and 1 pt (8%) in Cohort B proceeded to transplant. The CCR (CR + CRh) rates with up to 6 cycles of Tx for Cohort A and B were 13.3% and 30.8%, respectively; overall CR + CRh rates were 17.8% and 38.5% (Table 1). In Cohort A, with a median follow-up of 11.5 months, 0% were 1-year disease-free and median OS (mOS) was 6.5 months. In Cohort B, with a median follow-up of 15.1 months, 25% were 1-year disease-free and mOS was 11.5 months. Deaths within 7-, 30-, and 60-days of Tx were 0, 3 and 11 in Cohort A and 0, 0 and 2 in Cohort B. Most common treatment-related Grade ≥3 AEs in Cohort A and B were febrile neutropenia (31% and 39%) and anemia (22% and 31%) (Table 2). Overall, 83 serious AEs (SAEs) were reported in 33 pts in Cohort A and 12 SAEs in 6 pts in Cohort B; most common SAEs in Cohort A were pneumonia (18%) and respiratory failure (11%), and in Cohort B sepsis, dehydration and acute kidney injury (each 15%). Most common treatment-related grade ≥3 laboratory abnormalities in Cohort A and B were neutrophils decreased (27% and 31%), WBC count decreased (20% and 23%), and lymphocyte count decreased (18% and 15%). Conclusions: ENTO + DEC demonstrated activity in ND AML pts aged ≥60 years with TP53m ± CK and CK without TP53 but induced low CR/CRh rates and short OS consistent with previously published poor CR rates and OS in these pts. Our results differ from the high remission rate and longer OS previously reported for DEC monotherapy in AML pts with TP53m. ENTO + DEC was safe and acceptably tolerated. Novel Tx strategies that can benefit AML pts with these most adverse risk factors are urgently needed. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures Ruppert: Telios Pharma: Consultancy.

Abstract Background: IVO is an oral potent inhibitor of mutated IDH1 (IDH1m) enzyme, recently approved for the treatment (Tx) of ND adult patients (pts) with IDH1m AML ≥75 years old or with comorbidities precluding use of intensive induction chemotherapy, and adult pts with relapsed or refractory AML. In this Phase 2 sub-study of the Beat AML Master Trial, we evaluated the efficacy of IVO + AZA combination Tx in ND pts aged ≥60 years with IDH1m AML (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03013998) Methods: This open-label multicenter (16 sites / 9 enrolling) combination Tx study enrolled ND pts with R132 mIDH1 AML, utilizing the modified minimax Simon's 2-stage Phase 2 design. Pts received IVO + AZA for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression (PD), unacceptable toxicity or stem cell transplant. Pts who achieved complete remission (CR)/complete remission with hematologic improvement (CRh)/complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) continued IVO + AZA for a total of 12 cycles, then IVO monotherapy until PD. Pts without CR/CRh/CRi after 6 cycles continued IVO + AZA if they demonstrated Tx benefit, as defined in Figure 1. Key eligibility included ND IDH1 R132 mutated AML pts aged ≥60 years and ECOG performance status 0 - 2 (Karnofsky ≥60). All pts received IVO 500 mg/day orally in continuous 28-day cycles + AZA 75 mg/m2 IV or SC on days 1-7 every 28 days. The primary endpoint was CR+CRh+CRi rate after 6 cycles of Tx. Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The modified minimax Simon's 2-stage design required 40 pts and tested the null hypothesis that the CR/CRh/CRi rate equaled 25% vs the alternative of 50% (one-sided alpha = 0.025, power 90%). Stage 1 required >5/16 responses for continued enrollment. Even though these criteria were met, the sponsor decided to discontinue the trial on 12/12/2019. Here we report the final primary endpoint results. Data were frozen 02/03/2021. Results: Between 07/2018 and 11/2019, 19 patients were enrolled with IDH1m AML; 18 started IVO + AZA Tx and are included in the analyses. At data freeze, 5 pts had died and 7 pts still on Tx were offered standard of care IVO. Median age of the pts was 75 years, 50% were ≥75 years, 61% were female and 89% were White (Table 1). The most common reasons for Tx discontinuation were trial discontinued by sponsor (7 or 39%), stem cell transplant (4 or 22%), and PD (3 or 17%). A total of 13 pts achieved CR/CRh/CRi (72%) by up to 6 cycles of Tx (Table 2 & Figure 2). Over the entire study period, 14 pts achieved CR/CRh/CRi (78%) with 8 CR (44%), 3 CRh (17%) and 3 CRi (17%). No deaths occurred within the first 60 days of Tx. After a median follow up of 19.8 months (mos), Page 2 median response duration was not reached, with 12-mos disease-free survival rate of 69%; also, median OS was not reached, with 12- and 18-mos OS rates of 100% and 73%, respectively. The median (range) time on Tx was 12 mos (<1 - 26.6); 2 pts (11%) discontinued Tx due to an adverse event (AE) - 2 Grade 3 serious AEs (SAEs), differentiation syndrome and skin infection. Overall, 5 pts had 7 Tx-related SAEs; most common Tx-related SAE was differentiation syndrome in 4 pts (22%), of which 3 (17%) were considered Grade ≥3 (Table 3). The most common AEs of any grade (in ≥25% of pts) were diarrhea (61%), constipation (50%), nausea and hypokalemia (each 44%); and most common Grade ≥3 Tx-related AEs were differentiation syndrome and QTc prolongation (each 17%). The most common Tx-related laboratory abnormalities of any grade were decreased platelet count (22%) and decreased WBC count (17%). Conclusions: In ND pts with IDH1m AML and ≥60 years of age, IVO + AZA Tx was associated with a high CR/CRh/CRi rate, no early deaths (60 days) and a 1-year OS of 100%. IVO + AZA was acceptably tolerated and no unexpected toxicities occurred. Most common unique toxicities of IVO observed during the study were differentiation syndrome and QTc prolongation; these led to Tx discontinuation in only 1 pt. CR/CRh/CRi rate obtained with IVO +AZA is higher than that previously reported in studies with the individual agents or intensive chemotherapy approaches, suggesting a synergistic effect. Our overall response rate is similar to that reported recently for IVO + AZA in older ND IDH1 mutant AML pts, despite not including pts with morphologic leukemia-free state and partial remission. Based on these results, a global Phase 3 evaluation of IVO or placebo plus AZA is ongoing (NCT03173248). Figure 1 Figure 1.
