Project description:This pilot study evaluated CPX-351 in adults with newly diagnosed, favourable-intermediate risk, FLT3-ITD-negative AML. Twenty patients received CPX-351 for induction, with six also receiving gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). The complete response rate was 95%, with 42% achieving flow-based minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity post-induction. The 18-month leukaemia-free and overall survival estimates were 80% and 95% respectively. Adding GO appeared safe without prolonged cytopenias. Subclinical cardiotoxicity was observed in 25% of patients. The study demonstrated CPX-351's feasibility, with response and MRD-negativity rates comparable to standard '7 + 3' induction.

Project description:Despite the maximum intensification of chemotherapy and the increased use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) in pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), nearly 40% of patients still experience relapse, and cure in this setting remains a significant challenge. Recent improvements in AML characterization, including advances in flow cytometry and comprehensive genomic sequencing, have led to a better understanding of AML biology and the identification of multiple potential therapeutic targets. Novel agents targeting genomic lesions, cell surface antigens, and other mechanisms that permit oncogenesis or immune escape are being incorporated into current treatment strategies or are under investigation in efforts to improve outcomes and decrease the toxicities and late effects associated with traditional intensive chemotherapeutic and HCT treatment. However, multiple challenges still exist, including the biologic and immunophenotypic heterogeneity of childhood AML, the differences in underlying biology as compared to adult AML, and the significant potential for on-target/off-tumor toxicity associated with therapies directed at targets common to myeloid cells, both leukemic and normal. This article reviews the current landscape of genomic and cell surface targets for children with AML with a focus on the currently available targeted therapeutic agents, those in active clinical investigation, and those still in development.

Project description:Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), an immunoconjugate between an anti-CD33 antibody and a calicheamicin-γ(1) derivative, induces remissions and improves survival in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As the mechanisms underlying GO and calicheamicin-γ(1) resistance are incompletely understood, we herein used flow cytometry-based single cell network profiling (SCNP) assays to study cellular responses of primary human AML cells to GO. Our data indicate that the extent of DNA damage is quantitatively impacted by CD33 expression and drug efflux activity. However, although DNA damage is required for GO-induced cytotoxicity, it is not sufficient for effective cell kill, suggesting that downstream anti-apoptotic pathways may function as relevant resistance mechanisms. Supporting this notion, we found activated PI3K/AKT signaling to be associated with GO resistance in vitro in primary AML cells. Consistently, the investigational AKT inhibitor MK-2206 significantly sensitized various human AML cells to GO or free calicheamicin-γ(1) with particularly pronounced effects in otherwise GO or free calicheamicin-γ(1)-resistant cells. Likewise, MK-2206 also sensitized primary AML cells to calicheamicin-γ(1). Together, our findings illustrate the capacity of SCNP assays to discover chemotherapy-related biological pathways and signaling networks relevant to GO-induced genotoxic stress. The identification of AKT signaling as being associated with GO resistance in vitro may provide a novel approach to improve the in vivo efficacy of GO/calicheamicin-γ(1) and, by extrapolation, other DNA damage-based therapeutics.

Project description:CD33 is expressed on the majority of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) leukemic blasts and is the target for gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), a toxin-conjugated anti-CD33 mAb. In the present study, we quantified the CD33 mean fluorescent intensity of leukemic blasts prospectively in 619 de novo pediatric AML patients enrolled in Children's Oncology Group GO-containing clinical trials and determined its correlation with disease characteristics and clinical outcome. CD33 expression varied more than 2-log fold; a median mean fluorescent intensity of 129 (range, 3-1550.07) was observed. Patients were divided into 4 quartiles, quartiles 1-4 (Q1-4) based on expression and disease characteristics and clinical response defined across quartiles. High CD33 expression was associated with high-risk FLT3/ITD mutations (P < .001) and was inversely associated with low-risk disease (P < .001). Complete remission (CR) rates were similar, but patients in Q4 had significantly lower overall survival (57% ± 16% vs 77% ± 7%, P = .002) and disease-free survival from CR (44% ± 16% vs 62% ± 8%, P = .022). In a multivariate model, high CD33 expression remained a significant predictor of overall survival (P = .011) and disease-free survival (P = .038) from CR. Our findings suggest that CD33 expression is heterogeneous within de novo pediatric AML. High expression is associated with adverse disease features and is an independent predictor of inferior outcome. The correlation between CD33 expression and GO response is under investigation. These studies are registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00070174 and NCT00372593.

Project description:BackgroundBased on the results from the ALFA-0701 study, gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) has been approved by the European Medicine Agency and by the Italian Drug Agency for the first line treatment of de novo acute-myeloid leukemia (AML). In this analysis, we assessed the cost-effectiveness of GO in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA), vs DA alone, adopting the perspective of the Italian National Health Service.MethodsFor this analysis, a cohort state transition model was developed. The model was designed to capture health states and events that occur throughout the entire disease course and that impact costs and outcomes. The ALFA-0701 study was the main source of clinical data for this analysis. In the model, patients had the same baseline characteristics and experienced the same clinical improvements as in the ALFA-0701 study. Economic data (resource consumption and unit costs) were adapted to reflect expenditure for the Italian National Health Service. Utilities per health state and disutilities due to adverse events were based on the literature and on the general population for those functionally cured. A lifetime horizon was adopted, with both costs and outcome being discounted of 3.0%, annually. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of results.ResultsIn the base case (lifetime horizon; primary source of data: study ALFA-0701; perspective: Italian National Health Service; discount rate on costs and outcomes: 3.0%), GO + DA was more effective DA both in terms of life-year (LY) survival (6.42 LY vs 5.75 LY, respectively) and quality-of-life adjusted survival (4.69 QALY vs 4.19 QALY, respectively). The overall costs were almost similar in the two groups (slightly lower with GO + DA than with DA; €162,424 and €162,708, respectively). The use of GO increased the costs of drug therapy but saved costs of relapse and costs associated with transplantation (HSCT).ConclusionsIf results of the ALFA-0701 study are applied to the Italian healthcare environment, then gemtuzumab ozogamicin, in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine, would clinical outcomes and reduce lifetime costs, compared with daunorubicin and cytarabine alone for the first line treatment of de novo AML.Trial registrationNot applicable.

Project description:Addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) to induction chemotherapy improves outcomes in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but it is uncertain whether a fractionated schedule provides additional benefit to a single dose. We randomized 852 older adults (median age, 68-years) with AML/high-risk myelodysplasia to GO on day 1 (GO1) or on days 1 and 4 (GO2) of course 1 induction. The median follow-up period was 50.2 months. Although complete remission (CR) rates after course 1 did not significantly differ between arms (GO2, 63%; GO1, 57%; odds ratio [OR], 0.78; P = .08), there were significantly more patients who achieved CR with a measurable residual disease (MRD)<0.1% (50% vs 41%; OR, 0.72; P = .027). This differential MRD reduction with GO2 varied across molecular subtypes, being greatest for IDH mutations. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 29% for patients in the GO2 arm and 24% for those in the GO1 arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; P = .14). In a sensitivity analysis excluding patients found to have adverse cytogenetics or TP53 mutations, the 5-year OS was 33% for GO2 and 26% for GO1 (HR, 0.83; P = .045). In total, 228 (27%) patients received an allogeneic transplantation in first remission. Posttransplant OS was superior in the GO2 arm (HR, 0.67; P = .033); furthermore, the survival advantage from GO2 in the sensitivity analysis was lost when data of patients were censored at transplantation. In conclusion, GO2 was associated with a greater reduction in MRD and improved survival in older adults with nonadverse risk genetics. This benefit from GO2 was dependent on allogeneic transplantation to translate the better leukemia clearance into improved survival. This trial was registered at www.isrctn.com as #ISRCTN 31682779.

Project description:We analysed the prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) level in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated in the randomized gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) ALFA-0701 trial. Levels of WT1 and NPM1 gene transcripts were assessed using cDNA-based real-time quantitative PCR in 183 patients with WT1 overexpression and in 77 patients with NMP1 mutation (NPM1mut) at diagnosis. Positive WT1 MRD (defined as > 0.5% in the peripheral blood) after induction and at the end of treatment were both significantly associated with a higher risk of relapse and a shorter overall survival (OS). Positive NPM1mut MRD (defined as > 0.1% in the bone marrow) after induction and at the end of treatment also predicted a higher risk of relapse, but did not influence OS. Interestingly, the achievement of a negative NPM1mut MRD was significantly more frequent in patients treated in the GO arm compared to those treated in control arm (39 % versus 7% (p=0.006) after induction and 91% versus 61% (p=0.028) at the end of treatment). However, GO did not influence WT1 MRD levels. Our study supports the prognostic significance of MRD assessed by WT1 and NPM1mut transcript levels and show that NPM1 MRD is decreased by GO treatment.

Project description:It remains unclear in adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) whether leukaemic expression of CD33, the target antigen for gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), adds prognostic information on GO effectiveness at different doses. CD33 expression quantified in 1583 patients recruited to UK-NCRI-AML17 (younger adults) and UK-NCRI-AML16 (older adults) trials was correlated with clinical outcomes and benefit from GO including a dose randomisation. CD33 expression associated with genetic subgroups, including lower levels in both adverse karyotype and core-binding factor (CBF)-AML, but was not independently prognostic. When comparing GO versus no GO (n=393, CBF-AMLs excluded) by stratified subgroup-adjusted analysis, patients with lowest quartile (Q1) %CD33-positivity had no benefit from GO (relapse risk, HR 2.41 (1.27-4.56), P=0.009 for trend; overall survival, HR 1.52 (0.92-2.52)). However, from the dose randomisation (NCRI-AML17, n=464, CBF-AMLs included), 6 mg/m2 GO only had a relapse benefit without increased early mortality in CD33-low (Q1) patients (relapse risk HR 0.64 (0.36-1.12) versus 1.70 (0.99-2.92) for CD33-high, P=0.007 for trend). Thus CD33 expression is a predictive factor for GO effect in adult AML; although GO does not appear to benefit the non-CBF AML patients with lowest CD33 expression a higher GO dose may be more effective for CD33-low but not CD33-high younger adults.
