Characteristics and outcome of patients with core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3-ITD: results from an international collaborative study.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of FLT3-ITD in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBFAML) in an international, multicenter survey of 97 patients of whom 52% had t(8;21)(q22;q22) and 48% had inv(16)(p13q22)/t(16;16)(p13;q22). The median age of the patients was 53 years (range, 19-81). Complete remission after anthracycline-based induction (n=86) and non-intensive therapy (n=11) was achieved in 97% and 36% of the patients, respectively. The median follow-up was 4.43 years (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 3.35-7.39 years). The median survival after intensive and non-intensive treatment was not reached and 0.96 years, respectively. Among intensively treated patients, inv(16) with trisomy 22 (n=11) was associated with a favorable 4-year relapse-free surviv
