IDH2 mutations in patients with normal karyotype AML predict favorable responses to daunorubicin, cytarabine and cladribine regimen
Abstract Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) genes occur in about 20% patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), leading to DNA hypermethylation and epigenetic deregulation. We assessed the prognostic significance of IDH1/2 mutations (IDH1/2 +) in 398 AML patients with normal kar...

Sumario: | Abstract Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) genes occur in about 20% patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), leading to DNA hypermethylation and epigenetic deregulation. We assessed the prognostic significance of IDH1/2 mutations (IDH1/2 +) in 398 AML patients with normal karyotype (NK-AML), treated with daunorubicine + cytarabine (DA), DA + cladribine (DAC), or DA + fludarabine. IDH2 mutation was an independent favorable prognostic factor for 4-year overall survival (OS) in total NK-AML population (p = 0.03, censoring at allotransplant). We next evaluated the effect of addition of cladribine to induction regimen on the patients’ outcome according to IDH1/2 mutation status. In DAC group, 4-year OS was increased in IDH2 + patients, compared to IDH-wild type group (54% vs 33%; p = 0.0087, censoring at allotransplant), while no difference was observed for DA-treated subjects. In multivariate analysis, DAC independently improved the survival of IDH2 + patients (HR = 0.6 [0.37–0.93]; p = 0.024; censored at transplant), indicating that this group specifically benefits from cladribine-containing therapy. In AML cells with R140Q or R172K IDH2 mutations, cladribine restrained mutations-related DNA hypermethylation. Altogether, DAC regimen produces better outcomes in IDH2 + NK-AML patients than DA, and this likely results from the hypomethylating activity of cladribine. Our observations warrant further investigations of induction protocols combining cladribine with IDH1/2 inhibitors in IDH2-mutant. |
