Hypomethylating agent monotherapy in core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia: a French multicentric retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Very few data are available about hypomethylating agent (HMA) efficiency in core binding factor acute myeloid leukemias (CBF-AML). Our main objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA in the specific subset of CBF-AML. Here, we report the results of a multicenter retrospective French study about efficacy of HMA monotherapy, used frontline or for R/R CBF-AML. Forty-nine patients were included, and received a median of 5 courses of azacitidine (n = 46) or decitabine (n = 3). ORR was 49% for the whole cohort with a median time to response of 112 days. After a median follow-up of 72.3 months, median OS for the total cohort was 10.6 months. In multivariate analysis, hematological relapse of CBF-AML at HMA initiation was significantly associated with a poorer OS (HR: 2.13; 95%CI: 1.
