ABSTRACT: Recurring genetic abnormalities have been identified in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Among them, IKZF1 deletion was associated with poor prognosis in patients treated with imatinib-based or dasatinib-based regimens. However, the molecular determinants for clinical outcomes in ponatinib-treated patients remain unknown. We systematically analyzed genetic alterations in adults with Ph-positive ALL uniformly treated in clinical trials with dasatinib-based regimens or a ponatinib-based regimen and investigated the molecular determinants for treatment outcomes using pretreatment specimens collected from adults with Ph-positive ALL treated with Hyper-CVAD plus dasatinib or ponatinib. DNA sequencing and SNP microarray were performed and recurrent genetic abnormalities were found in 84% of the patients, among whom IKZF1 deletion was most frequently detected (60%). IKZF1 deletion frequently co-occurred with other copy-number abnormalities (IKZF1plus, 46%) and was significantly associated with unfavorable overall survival (OS) (false discovery rate < 0.1) and increased cumulative incidence of relapse (p = 0.01). In a multivariate analysis, dasatinib therapy, lack of achievement of 3-month complete molecular response, and the presence of IKZF1plus status were significantly associated with poor OS. The differential impact of IKZF1plus was largely restricted to patients given Hyper-CVAD plus ponatinib; dasatinib-based regimens had unfavorable outcomes regardless of the molecular abnormalities.

Project description:Background Children with Down Syndrome have an augmented risk for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (DS-ALL), which is associated with a survival lower than in non-DS ALL, due to increased chemotherapy-related toxicity and a higher relapse rate, thus demanding new tailored therapeutic strategies. Cytogenetic abnormalities common in childhood ALL are less frequent in DS-ALL, while alterations in CRLF2 and IKZF1 genes are increased. Aim of the study was to evaluate in DS-ALL children the incidence and prognostic value of the Philadelphia Chromosome-Like (Ph-like) status and the “IKZF1plus” profile, both associated with poor outcome in non-DS ALL and therefore introduced in current therapeutic protocols for BCP-ALL. Method Seventy DS-ALL patients at diagnosis treated in Italian centres from 2000 to 2014 were evaluated for their cytogenetic status, including the Ph-like ALL profile, while the IKZF1plus feature was investigated in a larger cohort of 134 patients treated in Italian and German centres from 2000 to 2011. Findings Forty-six out of 70 (65•7%) AIEOP DS-ALL patients displayed the Ph-like ALL gene expression signature, mostly characterized by CRLF2 (n=33) and IKZF1 (n=16) alterations (13 had both alterations); only one case was positive for an ABL-class and one for a PAX5 fusion gene. In the Italian and German joint cohort, we observed 35•6% patients positive for P2RY8::CRLF2 fusion, 24•8% for IKZF1 deletion and 18% for IKZF1plus feature. Unexpectedly, a higher IKZF1 expression and activity were observed in IKZF1plus than IKZF1 wt DS-ALL patients. Ph-like signature and IKZF1 deletion were associated with poor outcome, which further worsens when IKZF1 deletion was co-occurring with P2RY8::CRLF2, qualifying for the IKZF1plus definition. Interpretation These subgroups, which for the most part are not associated with other high risk features, need new and tailored therapeutic strategies, not only focussed on the use of drugs that restore IKZF1 function.
