Abstract

Secondary-type mutations (STMs), namely SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, ZRSR2, ASXL1, EZH2, BCOR, and STAG2, are more frequently detected in secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) than in de novo AML. Whether de novo AML with STMs should be differently managed is, however, unclear. In 394 patients diagnosed with de novo AML who had a normal karyotype, the genetic profiling via targeted deep sequencing of 45 genes revealed 59 patients carrying STMs (STM+). The STM+ group showed shorter overall survival (OS) than the STM group (5-year OS, 15.3 vs. 31.0%) (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.975, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.446–2.699, p < 0.001). Among the 40 STM+ patients who achieved CR, those who received allogeneic HCT (n = 15) showed better OS (5-year OS, 40.0 vs. 12.0%) (HR: 0.423, 95% CI: 0.184–0.975, p = 0.043) and relapse-free survival (5-year, 40.0 vs. 8.0%) (HR: 0.438, 95% CI: 0.189–1.015, p = 0.054) than those who received consolidation chemotherapy only. The cumulative incidence of relapse was lower in the patients who received allogeneic HCT (5-year, 33.3 vs. 60.0%) (HR: 0.288, 95% CI: 0.111–0.746, p = 0.011), and non-relapse mortality was similar between the two groups (p = 0.935). In conclusion, STM is an independent prognostic factor for adverse outcomes in AML that can be overcome by allogeneic HCT.
