    Abstract: Introduction FLT3 receptor gene has been reported to be mutated in about 30% of AML, with two different kinds of mutations identified: in-frame duplications within the juxtamembrane region (FLT3-ITD) and point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (FLT3-TKD). In term of prognosis, the proper role of these mutations is still debated. Moreover, FLT3 mutations are often subjected to clonal evolution, thus how to properly monitor FLT3 mutated clones, evaluate minimal residual disease, manage FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) are only some of the open issues. FLAM is an observational study involving FLT3 positive AMLs to gain clinical and molecular data useful to ameliorate real-life physicians' management of this disease. Here we report the results of a preliminary analysis of the retrospective phase of the study. Methods The retrospective phase of FLAM multi-center observational study enrolled each AML patient treated in 33 participating Italian centers detected to carry a FLT3 mutation since 2012. Clinical and molecular data were collected in accordance with GCP and Helsinki declaration in electronic case report forms. Results At data cut-off , 1st of July 2020, 289 patients with FLT3 mutation at diagnosis were enrolled in the retrospective phase of FLAM study, being evaluable in this analysis, with a median age at diagnosis of 62 years (min-max: 18-94) and a M:F ratio of 141/148 (Patients' characteristics are summarized in table 1). 29 out 289 (10 %) patients had a low risk AML, 190/289 (65,7 %) had an intermediate risk AML and 27/289 (9,3 %) patients had a high risk AML, according to ELN 2017 risk stratification or ELN 2010 in case of allelic ratio unavailability (43 patients had no available ELN risk at baseline). A more frequent association between FLT3-ITD and normal karyotype and between FLT3-TKD mutation and other cytogenetic alterations not conferring a favorable/adverse risk has been observed (p = 0.045). Among the study population, 255/289 (88 %) patients carried a FLT3-ITD, 32/289 (11 %) a FLT3-TKD point mutation and 2/289 (1 %) patients both mutations. Capillary electrophoresis has been the technical method used to investigate FLT3-ITD in 163 of 226 (72 %) patients with information on the method used, while Sanger Sequencing in 47 out of 226 (21 %) patients and Next generation sequencing (NGS) in 16 out of 226 (7 %) patients. Overall, NGS has been adopted to investigate FLT3 gene status in 18 out of 259 patients (7 %). FLT3-ITD allelic ratio was available in 62 of 257 (24 %) ITD patients and was greater than or equal to 0.5 in 35/62 (56 %) patients. During patients' follow-up, 19/289 (7 %) patients affected by a FLT3 positive AML at diagnosis underwent a disease clonal evolution with a FLT3 negative AML progression or relapse. Regarding treatment options in FLT3-AML, in our cohort FLT3i were administered as first-line of therapy in only 36/289 (13 %) patients, always in a combination, of which in 26/36 (72.2 %) with intensive chemotherapy. As expected, intensive chemotherapy represented the induction regimen in the majority of the patients (211/289, 73 %). On the other hand, FLT3i were administered as rescue therapy in 62/171 (36 %) cases (47/62 single-agent and in 15/62 in combination) and as re-induction therapy in 22/80 (28 %) cases (10/22 single-agent and 12/22 in combination). Overall, a FLT3i has been administered as single-agent 81 times, of which Gilteritinib was the most frequently used (56/81, 69,1 %), followed by quizartinib (18/81, 22,2 %). Among the 52 documented combinations of a FLT3i with other drugs, particularly noteworthy is the administration of Sorafenib, in 20/52 (39 %) cases in this real-life study. Lastly, nine out of 289 (3 %) patients received a FLT3i as maintenance therapy after HSCT. Data regarding the correlation among the different regimens, with a special focus on FLT3i, other molecular features and response/survival are currently under analysis. Conclusions These data coming from a preliminary analysis portray the state of a large multi-center retrospective cohort of FLT3-positive AML patients treated in Italy between 2012 and 2020, including interesting insights regarding technical methods used to characterize the disease and the therapeutic scenario in which FLT3 inhibitors have been developed. Further safety and effectiveness data may reveal beneficial to ameliorate physicians' real-life clinical practice. Acknowledgements: work supported by Daiichi-Sankyo.

    Abstract: The study reports an urban health investigation conducted in Bastogi, an outskirt of Rome (Italy) characterised by social marginalization and deprivation. Our aim was to analyse the health perception, health-related behaviours, and interaction with healthcare professionals of the inhabitants of Bastogi compared to the population living in the area of the same local health unit (ASL). The Progresses of Health Authorities for Health in Italy questionnaire (PASSI) was administered to a sample of 210 inhabitants of Bastogi. Data were analysed and compared to those of the ASL collected in 2017–2018. The socio-economic indicators showed an overall worse condition for the inhabitants of Bastogi, with a significantly higher proportion of foreign and unemployed residents and a lower educational level compared to the ASL. Significant differences in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, mental health complaints, and participation in prevention strategies, including cancer screening, were found. The questionnaire showed a lower help-seeking behaviour and a lack of reliance on health professionals in Bastogi inhabitants. Our findings highlight how social determinants produce health inequities and barriers to accessing healthcare. The difficulties of conducting quantitative research in complex and hard-to-reach contexts, characterized by high social vulnerability, are outlined.

    Abstract: Abstract 4951 Introduction. Azacitidine (AZA) has proven effective in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The duration of haematological response is limited (median 13. 6 months) (Fenaux, 2009), although some patients (pts) show a prolonged response. The French Group (Itzykson 2011) identified some clinical and haematologic parameters (poor ECOG performance status, IPSS intermediate and poor risk cytogenetics, circulating blasts, high transfusion need) independently associated with a a poorer outcome, and these 4 criteria were integrated in a 3-group prognostic score, validated in other cohorts (van der Helm 2011; Breccia 2012). Moreover, a complex karyotype was also predictive of a shorter duration of response. However long term survival was also observed in some of the pts with poor risk features (Itzykson 2012). Methods. These data prompted us to retrospectively analyse our MDS pts treated with AZA who showed a favourable long-lasting response to AZA (i. e: duration of response ≥ 20 months), in order to enucleate the clinical and haematologic features of long-responder pts. The type of response was defined according to IWG criteria (Cheson 2006): Complete Remission (CR); Partial Remission (PR) and Hematologic Improvement (HI). The response duration was measured from the date of achievement of a first response (HI, PR or CR), (also in pts who subsequently achieved a higher response category) until the date of disease progression or death. Overall Survival (OS) was measured from the start of AZA treatment. Moreover, as some of us (Follo, 2009) demonstrated that phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) beta1 may represent a target for AZA, in a subgroup of pts we quantified the degree of PI-PLCbeta1 methylation and gene expression before and during AZA administration. Results. Thirty-four pts (M/F: 20/14), from eight Institutions, with a median age of 72 (range 52–84) yrs, showed a response duration ≥ 20 months. At AZA onset, WHO diagnosis was: refractory anemia (RA): 1 pt; refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD): 1 pt; RCMD with ringed sideroblasts (RCMD-RS): 1 pt; refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)-1: 8 pts; RAEB-2: 15 pts; cronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CMML): 4 pts; AML with 20–30% blasts: 3 pts, MDS with fibrosis (MDS-F): 1 pt. Four pts had therapy-related MDS. IPSS risk was: low: 3 pts; intermediate-1: 6 pts; intermediate-2: 20 pts, high: 5 pts. IPSS cytogenetic risk was: low: 21 pts (61. 8%); intermediate: 8 pts (23. 5%); high: 5 pts (14. 7%) (3 with complex karyotypes and 2 with isolated -7 or 7q-). ECOG-PS was poor (≥ 2) in 2 pts (5. 8%) and 〈 2 in the other 32 pts. Transfusion need was high (≥ 4 RBC units/8 weeks) in 17 pts (50%), and low or absent in the remaining 17 pts. Three pts (8. 8%) presented circulating blasts. Following Itzykson's AZA prognostic scoring system, the risk was low in 12 pts (35. 3%), intermediate in 21 pts (61. 8%), and high in 1 pt (2. 9%), respectively. Time from diagnosis to AZA onset was 〈 6 months in 21 pts, and 〉 6 months in 13 pts. The pts received a median of 22 cycles of AZA (range: 8–52). The median number of cyles to any first response was 4 (range: 2–10). Twenty pts (58. 8%) showed an at least two-fold increase of platelets after the first cycle of AZA. The best response achieved was: CR in 23 pts (67. 7%), PR in 2 pts (5. 8%), and HI in 9 pts (26. 5%). Cytogenetic remission was achieved in 7 pts (20. 6%). The median duration of response was 24. 5 (range: 23–88) months. A significant toxicity (grade 〉 2) was observed in 5 (14. 7%) pts. Twenty-two pts (64. 8%) are still maintaining hematologic response, 6 pts (17. 6%) are still alive but discontinued treatment because of disease progression, and 6 pts died, for AML (2 pts), infection (1 pt), haemorrhage (1 pt), myocardial infarction (1 pt), cachexy (1 pt), respectively. Median OS from the start of AZA was 35. 5 (range: 22–120) months. In a subgroup of pts, we observed an increase in PI-PLCbeta1 expression, that was maintained along with the hematologic response. Moreover, PI-PLCbeta1 early increase (during the cycles 1 to 3) was significantly associated with a higher duration of response. Conclusions. Although our data confirm the finding of other Authors, as the majority of long-responder patients showed pre-treatment favourable prognostic factors, a long-lasting hematologic response can be achieved even in a significant fraction of pts presenting one or more poor risk features (IPSS intermediate or high risk cytogenetics, high transfusion need).

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Many efforts have been made in the attempt to address the conundrum question of fitness definition ad prognosis prediction in elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Parametric definitions are expected to give an advantage in patient stratification; however, clinical examination remain de facto pivotal to formulate therapy decisions and frequently the comorbidities are empirically evaluated. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter study collecting baseline comorbidity, laboratory data, CTCAE 4.0.3 adverse events (AE), and outcome of elderly patients ( & gt;65 years old) with new onset AML who received hypomethylating agents as 1st line therapy. We tested the impact on prognosis of baseline clinical and biological risk factors. Furthermore, we evaluated a score - acute myeloid leukemia-composite model, AML-CM (Mukherjee et al, 2017) - developed in chemotherapy-eligible patients, that accounts for baseline comorbidities, laboratory parameters, age and cytogenetic-molecular risk. The study was approved by local Ethical Authority (316/2019/Oss/AOUBo). RESULTS: We collected data from 131 consecutive elderly patients who received 1 st line HMAs between January 2008 and January 2021. Patients had a median age of 76 years (IQR 72 -79). Seventy-seven out of 131 patients (58.8%) had de novo AML, 32/131 (32.8%) had secondary AML, and 11/131 (8.4%) had therapy-related AML. Out of 123 evaluable patients, 43 (34.9%) had complex karyotype, 1 (0.8%) inv(16), 59 (48.4) normal karyotype, 18 (14.7%) other alterations; 8/108 patients harbored FLT3 ITD mutation (7.4%, 23 not tested), 12/101 NPM1 mutation (11.9%, 30 not tested). Based on these data, 111 patients were evaluable for ELN2010 risk stratification; 9 over 111 patients (8.1%) were stratified in the low risk, 42/111 (37.8%) in intermediate-1 risk, 17/111(15.3%) in intermediate-2 risk, and 43/111 (38.7%) in high-risk class. As expected, most of the patients had at least one comorbidity. Particularly, baseline arrhythmia was present in 29/130 (22.1%, 1 no data), cardiovascular comorbidity in 20/130 (15.4%, 1 no data), diabetes in 20/131 (15.3%), cerebrovascular comorbidity in 11/131 (8.4%), kidney disease in 15/130 (11.5%, 1 no data), lung chronic disease 19/130 (14.6% 1 no data), hypoalbuminemia in 25/111 patients (22.5%, 20 no data). With a median follow up of 28.2 months, median overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort was 15.8 months (95% C.I. 11.2-19.4). We confirmed that patient who obtained a response (complete remission, partial response, hematological improvement) after 2 months of therapy had the best OS (figure A, median OS of 21 months for responders vs 7.4 months for non-responders, p & lt;.001). Interestingly, lung chronic disease (median OS 6.6 months in affected vs 16.5 months in non-affected, p=.013) and hypoalbuminemia (median OS 7.4 months in affected vs 18 months in non-affected p & lt;.001) confer significantly diminished OS. ELN2010 score impacted prognosis (median OS of 8.4 months for favorable, 23.4 months for int-1, 11.1 for 1int-2 and 6.5 months for high-risk, p=.004). To test the impact of comorbidities combined with cytogenetic and molecular risk, AML-CM was used. Our results indicate that AML-CM score was able to stratify prognosis in elderly patients receiving frontline HMAs (figure B, median OS in score group 1: 29.7 months, score group 2: 16.5 months, score group 3: 11.2 months, score group 4: 6.6 months, p=.038). The worse prognosis of patients with higher AML-CM score, which includes patients with increased baseline comorbidities, may be explained with a higher incidence of AEs (84.55, 116.01, 131.45, 229.3 events for 100 patients per year for score group 1,2,3, and 4, respectively) and infections (53.80, 55.10, 85.95, 140.13 events for 100 patients per year for score group 1,2,3, and 4, respectively), in patients with higher baseline comorbidities. CONCLUSION: In this study we found that baseline comorbidities, captured by AML-CM score, may define prognosis of elderly patients receiving 1st line HMAs; parametric comorbidity scores may improve our ability to predict outcome and tailor interventions. The impact of comorbidity on OS may be increased with novel and more aggressive therapy. For this reason, specific studies on functional fitness tests and geriatric assessments are highly warranted in patients receiving HMAs plus venetoclax. This work was supported by Bologna AIL.

    Abstract: Background This non-interventional retrospective study, is intended to analyze toxicity and effectiveness of venetoclax of a large cohort of R/R and de novo AML patients treated in Italy since 2015 outside clinical trials with the ultimate goal of improving the knowledge related to venetoclax treatment in the real-life setting. Interim analysis on first 59 patients enrolled is presented here. Aims The aim of this study is to collect data on safety and efficacy of venetoclax in a large cohort of AML patients treated in Italy from 2015 to 2020 in a real-life setting (out of clinical trials). Methods This is a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. All patients with AML treated outside clinical trials with venetoclax as single agent or in combination with other drugs from 1 January 2015 to 1 April 2020 in 40 Italian Hematology Units will be considered for enrollment. Data are collected in accordance with GCP and Helsinky declaration. For this interim analysis data registered into eCRF at 30 June 2020 have been considered. Adverse events (AEs) are graded according to CTCAE v4.03. Survival is estimated with Kaplan-Meyer method. Results The study started on August 2019 and will be completed on August 2021. Up to 30 June 2020 (first data cut off) 30 sites have been activated and 59 AML patients have been registered, 27 males (46%) and 32 females (54%), with a median age of 64 years (range 35 - 83). At the time of venetoclax initiation, 14/59 (24%) patients had a refractory disease, 31 (52.5%) had relapsed disease (14 first relapse and 17 a second or further relapse), eight patients (15%) were newly diagnosed and received venetoclax as first line therapy while in six patients disease status was missing at the time of data cut off. At diagnosis, 52 patients (88%) had bone marrow involvement, of which four (7%) had extramedullary involvement (skin or subcutaneous and deep muscular localization) and one had CNS involvement. 35/59 (59%) patients were classified as fit for intensive chemotherapy, 16 (27%) unfit and two (3%) frail according to SIE, SIES and GITMO group. For six patients fitness status was missing at the time of data cut off. 45/59 (76%) patients had received previous therapy for AML, eight patients were treatment naïve at the time of venetoclax initiation. while for six patients data regarding previous AML therapy were missing at the time of data cut off. In the R/R setting (n=45), the median number of previous therapy lines were 2 (range 1-7). Nine patients had relapse after stem cell transplantation (SCT) and one of them had received double transplant. For 42/45 R/R AML patients the data regarding treatment with venetoclax were available at the time of data cut off. Three out of 42(7%) patients received venetoclax as single agents, 32 (76%) in combination with HMAs (31 Azacitidine and 1 Decitabine), and six with high or intermediate dose ARA-C. In the cohort of R/R patients treated with combination of venetoclax and HMA, in 29/32 patients venetoclax was started as a ramp up phase. The median number of venetoclax cycles was 2 (range 1-13) and the median dose administered was 400 mg daily (range 100-600). Regarding toxicity, 72 adverse events (AEs) were recorded of which 49 were grade III-IV (39 hematologic toxicities, 4 pneumonia, 2 sepsis and 4 other) and 2 fatal (sepsis). For 25 out of 32 patients treated with venetoclax and HMAs combination, a response evaluation was available at the time of data cut off. 15 patients had an evaluable response within 2 months, 7 within 4-months and for 3 the date was missing. 14 (56%) patients obtained composite complete remission (CR=9; 5 =CRi), three patients had a partial response (PR), one stable disease (SD) while seven patients were refractory. Overall, six out of 32 (19%) patients underwent allogenic transplantation after venetoclax-HMAs combination. Median OS of R/R patients treated with venetoclax plus HMA was 182 days (95% C.I 85-421.). Conclusions These preliminary data show that venetoclax in combination with HMAs has an acceptable toxicity profile and is effective in this setting of R/R patients with unfavorable prognosis. Data from more than 100 patients treated in real life setting with venetoclax in Italy since 2015 is expected by the end of 2020, and further analysis on RR patients is ongoing. Data on newly diagnosed patients treated with venetoclax alone or in combination with HMA or chemotherapy will be analyzed. *G.M. and C.C. contributed equally as last author Disclosures Todisco: Jannsen, Abbvie, Jazz:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees.Fracchiolla:Amgen:Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Other: Travel, accommodations, expenses, Speakers Bureau;ABBVIE:Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Other: Travel, accommodations, expenses;Gilead:Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Other: Travel, accommodations, expenses, Speakers Bureau;Pfizer:Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Other: Travel, accommodations, expenses, Speakers Bureau.Papayannidis:Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, Amgen, Pfizer:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Patents & Royalties.Martelli:Pfizer:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Novartis:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Celgene:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Janssen:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;AbbVie:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Amgen:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Jazz Pharmaceuticals:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees.Di Renzo:BerGenBio ASA:Research Funding.Tarella:ADC Therapeutics:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding;ImmunoGen:Research Funding;TG-therapeutics:Research Funding.Rossi:Jazz:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Abbvie:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Astellas:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Novartis:Other: Advisory board;Amgen:Honoraria;Pfizer:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Janssen:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Daiichi Sankyo:Consultancy, Honoraria;Takeda:Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Alexion:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Celgene:Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees;Sanofi:Honoraria.

    Abstract: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the restoration of p53 activity through MDM2 inhibition proved efficacy in combinatorial therapies. WIP1, encoded from PPM1D, is a negative regulator of p53. We evaluated PPM1D expression and explored the therapeutic efficacy of WIP1 inhibitor (WIP1i) GSK2830371, in association with the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3a (Nut-3a) in AML cell lines and primary samples. PPM1D transcript levels were higher in young patients compared with older ones and in core-binding-factor AML compared with other cytogenetic subgroups. In contrast, its expression was reduced in NPM1-mutated (mut, irrespective of FLT3-ITD status) or TP53-mut cases compared with wild-type (wt) ones. Either Nut-3a, and moderately WIP1i, as single agent decreased cell viability of TP53-wt cells (MV-4-11, MOLM-13, OCI-AML3) in a time/dosage-dependent manner, but not of TP53-mut cells (HEL, KASUMI-1, NOMO-1). The drug combination synergistically reduced viability and induced apoptosis in TP53-wt AML cell line and primary cells, but not in TP53-mut cells. Gene expression and immunoblotting analyses showed increased p53, MDM2 and p21 levels in treated TP53-wt cells and highlighted the enrichment of MYC, PI3K-AKT-mTOR and inflammation-related signatures upon WIP1i, Nut-3a and their combination, respectively, in the MV-4-11 TP53-wt model. This study demonstrated that WIP1 is a promising therapeutic target to enhance Nut-3a efficacy in TP53-wt AML.
