Aims
To report real-world outcomes of CPX vs FLAG-IDA in terms of Overall Survival (OS), Leukemia-free Survival (LFS), and complete remission (CR), and to determine if mutational profiles can predict responses.
Methods
Patients aged 18+ meeting WHO criteria for t-AML and AML-MRC with next-generation sequencing (NGS) profiles were included. Data were collected from 10 Canadian centers for CPX and the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre for FLAG-IDA. A total of 76 patients treated with CPX and 95 with FLAG-IDA were identified. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was used to adjust for baseline differences between the two treatment groups. Key pre-treatment variables included: age, complex cytogenetics, and TP53 mutational status. PSM resulted in 92 pts (46 case-control pairs) with a caliper difference within 0.2.
Results
Significant differences between pts treated with different approaches were mitigated when PSM was applied. The median number of frequently detected somatic mutations was 2 (range: 1-8), with the most common mutations being RUNX1 (n=19), ASXL1 (n=20), DNMT3A (n=20), and TET2 (n=18).
In the PSM-selected population (n=92), the median follow-up time was 303 days (range: 22-1488). CR rates were higher with FLAG-IDA, with CR achieved in 27 (61%) pts treated with CPX-351 compared to 38 (82%) pts treated with FLAG-IDA (p=0.024). This finding did not translate into significantly higher rates of ASCT. Overall, 18 (41%) pts in the CPX group and 24 (52%) pts in the FLAG-IDA group proceeded with ASCT (p=0.28), corresponding to 55% and 52% of the pts who achieved CR1 after first induction (p=0.81).
Assessment of mutations and their biological pathways showed that pts with ASXL1 mutations had higher CR rates with FLAG-IDA (90%) compared to CPX (50%) (p=0.046). Activating signaling (AS) mutations also showed better CR rates with FLAG-IDA (100%) vs. CPX (70%) (p=0.04). The overall 1-year OS was 52.2% (95% CI: [40.5-62.6]). There were no significant differences in outcomes when comparing CPX with FLAG-IDA. For pts treated with CPX, the 1-year OS was 56.4% [39.6-70.2], compared to 49.4% [33.3-63.5] for those treated with FLAG-IDA (p=0.73, HR: 1.10 [0.60-2.1]). The 1-year LFS was 40% [25.6-55.4] for the CPX-351 group and 46.30% [30.8-60.5] for the FLAG-IDA group (p=0.59, HR: 0.86, [0.50-1.5]. When censoring OS for transplant, the 1-year OS was 52.8% [32.0-69.9] for CPX and 47.8% [23.9-68.4] for FLAG-IDA (p=0.55, HR: 0.79 [0.37-1.7].
Pts who underwent ASCT had significantly better OS (p=0.003). However, there was no significant OS difference between ASCT preceded by FLAG-IDA or CPX(p=0.08). Specifically, for pts who had ASCT, the 1-year OS was 78% [47.0-92.7] for CPX and 58% [35.0-75.9] for FLAG-IDA. Considering pts characteristics, type of mutations, or biological pathways involved, the only subgroup that demonstrated a difference in OS when comparing CPX with FLAG-IDA was the presence of tumor suppressor gene mutations (TS=TP53+PHF6, n=17). Pts with these mutations showed higher survival in the uni and multivariable analysis when treated with CPX; the 1-year survival rate for pts treated with CPX was 25% [3.7-55.8], compared to 13% [0.7-44] for those treated with FLAG-IDA (HR 3.11 [1.4-6.9], p<0.001). No other factors showed significant differences between treatments.
Conclusions
We used PSM to effectively minimize differences in pts characteristics. Although FLAG-IDA was associated with higher CR rates, particularly in pts with ASXL1 mutations and, AS mutations, this did not translate into higher ASCT rates, improved OS or LFS. The only subgroup that showed a difference in OS in favor of CPX was the one with TS gene mutations.These results should be interpreted with caution due to the small pt numbers. Data regarding the reasons for not proceeding with ASCT were not available. Future research will focus on expanding the cohort and evaluating adverse events
