A post hoc analysis of the randomized, multicenter, phase III CLTR0310‑301 study (NCT01696084) evaluated survival benefit with CPX‑351 vs cytarabine + anthracycline (7 + 3) chemotherapy in genetically defined subgroups of older patients (aged 60–75 years) with untreated, high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNA sequencing reclassified patients, based on mutational status, into TP53-mutated (TP53m) AML (n = 62), DDX41-mutated (DDX41m) AML (n = 10), myelodysplasia-related AML (AML‑MR; n = 88), and other-AML (n = 24) subgroups. Overall survival (OS) and response rates were assessed among genetically defined AML subgroups. Results were published in Blood Advances by Shimony et al.
Key data: Complete remission (CR) / CR with incomplete hematologic response (CRi) rates varied across molecular subgroups at 35% in TP53m AML, 100% in DDX41m AML, 38% in AML‑MR, and 63% in other-AML (p < 0.001), but did not significantly differ between treatment arms within each subgroup. Median OS in patients with AML‑MR treated with CPX‑351 was 9.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2–13.7) vs 6.8 months in those treated with 7 + 3 (95% CI, 3.6–9.6; p = 0.037). No survival differences were observed between treatment arms in the TP53m AML (p = 0.70), other-AML (p = 0.77), or DDX41m AML (p = 0.11) subgroups. Among patients with AML‑MR who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), induction with CPX‑351 was associated with longer survival vs 7 + 3 (2-year OS, 76% vs 27%).
Key learning: Results indicate that CPX‑351 may be an effective therapeutic option for older transplant-eligible patients with AML‑MR, while lack of efficacy in the TP53m AML subgroup limits its role in patients with TP53m AML. Further studies evaluating efficacy across molecular subgroups are needed to reach definitive conclusions on survival outcomes with CPX‑351 in different AML subtypes.
