Study summary

This is an observational study involving a retrospective and prospective collection of clinical and molecular data regarding patients with AML with FLT3+ mutations

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study involving a retrospective and prospective collection of clinical and molecular data. Patients will follow their regular diagnostic and clinical practice. Thus, no additional procedure/blood withdrawal will be performed.

The study will be conducted as follows:

  1. Retrospective phase: clinical and molecular data of AML patients with FLT3+ mutations detected at diagnosis or at any refractory/relapse state will be collected.
  2. Prospective phase: clinical and molecular data of each new FLT3+ AML patient identified in participating centers at diagnosis or at any refractory/relapse state will be collected prospectively. Every effort will be done to include all consecutive patients, in order to avoid selection bias.

For patients with a mutation found at the time of disease relapse, any effort will be done to collect all the clinical and molecular information since the time of diagnosis.

The Primary objective of this study is to analyze how FLT3 mutational status evolve during the management of the disease looking at the percentage of patients with no FLT3 mutations at diagnosis who relapse with a new FLT3 mutation detected, and the percentage of FLT3 positive AML patients that after having obtained a Complete Remission relapse with FLT3 negative.

The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the association between different FLT3 mutations and the clinical, molecular and biological information.

Study population

All consecutive patient with FLT3 mutated AML documented at diagnosis or at the time of relapse/refractory state treated in the participating center. With regards to the retrospective collection, data from the eligible and acconsenting patients will be retrieved since 2012, that is, when the evaluation of FLT3 mutation was almost routine in the centers considered in the study.

Inclusion criteria

  1. AML patients
  2. Male or Female
  3. Aged ≥ 18 years
  4. FLT3 mutations (ITD or TKD) positive tests performed at diagnosis or at relapse.
  5. Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  1. To be currently involved in experimental clinical protocol, or have been treated with experimental drugs are not exclusion criteria.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. percentage of patients FLT3 negative at diagnosis who relapse FLT3 positive;

    description of how the FLT3 mutational status changes during the course and management of the disease

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  2. percentage of patients FLT3 positive at diagnosis who relapse FLT3 negative

    description of how the FLT3 mutational status changes during the course and management of the disease

    Time frame: up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. objective overall response rate (ORR)

    the objective overall response rate (ORR) defined as the proportion of patients with a partial or response (CR, CRi, CRp) response, to initial treatment and in case of salvage;

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  2. disease-free survival (DFS)

    disease-free survival (DFS) after first CR and after CR2/CR3, if applicable, defined as the time since CR (or CR2 or CR3) to disease relapse or death for any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  3. overall survival (OS)

    overall survival (OS) defined as the time since date of diagnosis until death for any cause or the last available patient contact.

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  4. Percentage of AML patients with specific types of FLT3 mutations

    Percentage of AML patients with specific types of FLT3 mutations, at initial diagnosis and at disease relapse

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  5. distribution of specific FLT3 mutations in AML patients

    distribution of specific FLT3 mutations in AML patients according to: age, WBC, LDH, cytogenetics, NPM1, CEBPA alterations, IDH1/2, tp53, DNMT3A, secondary vs de novo AML;

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  6. frequency of the different methods used to evaluate (Minimal residual disease) MRD

    the frequency of the different methods used to evaluate MRD such as, wt1 ratio or the fusion transcript level by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); percentage of patients performing FLT3 ITD analysis by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS);

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  7. FLT3-ITD allelic ratio

    FLT3-ITD allelic ratio defined as the ratio of the area under the curve of mutant and wild type alleles (mutant/totalFLT3) obtained after Fragment analysis for FLT3-ITD;

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  8. transplantation percentage

    percentage of FLT3 mutated AML patients undergoing transplantation

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  9. evaluation of modifications in terms of quality of life (QoL) of patients with FLT3 mutated AML

    scores for each patient and each scale as well as a summary QoL score will be computed according to the EORTC QLQ-C3 (quality of life questionnaire) manual

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  10. retrospective collection of surrogate measures of QoL

    the surrogate measures of QoL , as the number and days of hospitalizations per patient, number of clinical visits per patient, number of access in Day Hospital and Emergency Care Units per patient, and the use of antalgic drugs and neuro-active drugs, will be expressed in terms of mean values per patient or through proportions

    Time frame: up to 24 months
