Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in acute myeloid leukemia.



During the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, Levis presented results from an exploratory post hoc analysis of the phase III QuANTUM-First trial (NCT02668653) evaluating the impact of co-mutations on survival benefits with quizartinib in patients with FLT3-ITD+ ND AML.1


Key learnings
Among 518 evaluable patients with FLT3-ITD+ AML, mutations were detected in 96.5%, with NPM1 (54%) and DNMT3A (43%) being the most common. NPM1 and DNMT3A were co-mutated in 32% of patients.
Quizartinib demonstrated substantial survival benefits across most mutational subgroups, including NPM1 (mOS: NE vs 15.1 months; mRFS: 48.6 vs 12.6 months) and DNMT3A (mOS: 40.4 vs 9.6 months; mRFS: 48.6 vs 8.5 months). Survival benefits with quizartinib vs placebo were most pronounced in patients harboring triple mutations (FLT3-ITD + NPM1 + DNMT3A), with mOS of NE vs 9.6 months and mRFS of 48.6 vs 7.1 months.
CRc rates were similar with quizartinib vs placebo in patients with NPM1 (85% vs 82%) and DNMT3A (77% vs 69%) mutations, indicating absence of primary resistance to quizartinib due to baseline mutations.
In the QuANTUM-First trial, quizartinib consistently improved survival in patients with ND FLT3-ITD+ AML vs placebo, irrespective of co-occurring baseline mutations.

Abbreviations: AML, acute myeloid leukemia; CRc, composite CR (complete remission [CR] or CR with incomplete blood count recovery [CRi]); ITD, internal tandem duplications; m, median; ND, newly diagnosed; NE, not evaluable; OS, overall survival; RFS, relapse-free survival.
