Abstract
Despite the use of midostaurin (MIDO) with intensive chemotherapy (ICT) as frontline treatment for Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), complete remission rates are close to 60% to 70%, and relapses occur in >40% of cases. Here, we studied the molecular mechanisms underlying refractory/relapsed (R/R) disease in patients with FLT3-mutated AML. We conducted a retrospective and multicenter study involving 150 patients with R/R AML harboring FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (n = 130) and/or FLT3-tyrosine kinase domain mutation (n = 26) at diagnosis assessed by standard methods. Patients were treated with ICT + MIDO (n = 54) or ICT alone (n = 96) according to the diagnosis date and label of MIDO. The evolution of FLT3 clones and comutations was analyzed in paired diagnosis-R/R samples by targeted high-throughput sequencing. Using a dedicated algorithm for FLT3-ITD detection, 189 FLT3-ITD microclones (allelic ratio [AR] of
