摘要

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with KMT2A rearrangement (KMT2Ar) has poor outcomes. We analyzed 1,611 patients with AML and 4.3% demonstrated rearrangements in KMT2A. Signaling-related genes (NRAS 30%, KRAS 23% and FLT3-TKD 16%) were the most frequently mutated in patients with KMT2Ar AML. Patients treated with intensive chemotherapy (IT) achieved a complete remission (CR)/CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) rate of 81%, and when combined with venetoclax, the CR/CRi rate increased to 100%. Patients treated with low intensity treatment (LIT) achieved an CR/CRi rate of 33%, and when combined with venetoclax, the CR/CRi rate was 61%. For patients treated with IT, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 66% and 64%, respectively, compared with 7% in those treated with LIT. Thirty-nine patients (57%) underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation after achieving CR/CRi. For patients treated with LIT, multivariate analysis demonstrated that N/KRAS mutations were predictive for OS (HR 2.93, 95% CI 1.18–7.29, P = 0.021) and EFS (HR 3.51, 95% CI 1.35–9.24, P = 0.01). In summary, outcomes in KMT2Ar AML have improved over years in patients treated with IT, whereas those treated with LIT continue to show poor survival, highlighting the need for novel combinations.
