PURPOSE: The AIEOP-BFM ALL 2009 protocol included, at the end of the induction phase, a randomized study of patients with high-risk (HR) ALL to investigate if an intensive exposure to pegylated L-asparaginase (PEG-ASNASE, 2,500 IU/sqm once a week × 4) on top of BFM consolidation phase IB allowed us to decrease minimal residual disease (MRD) and improve outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 1,097 patients presented, from June 2010 to February 2017, with one or more of the following HR criteria: KMT2A::AFF1 rearrangement, hypodiploidy, prednisone poor response, poor bone marrow response at day 15 (Flow MRD ≥10%), or no complete remission (CR) at the end of induction. Of them, 809 (85.1%) were randomly assigned to receive (404) or not receive (405) four weekly doses of PEG-ASNASE. RESULTS: By intention to treat (ITT) analysis, there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with polimerase chain reaction MRD ≥5 × 10-4 at the end of phase IB in the experimental versus control arm (13.9% v 17.0%, P = .25). The 5-year event-free survival (median follow-up 6.3 years) by ITT in the experimental and control arms was 70.4% (2.3) versus 75.0% (2.2; P = .18), and the 5-year overall survival was 81.5% (2.0) versus 84.0% (1.9; P = .25), respectively. The corresponding 5-year cumulative incidence of death in CR was 9.5% (1.5) versus 5.7% (1.2; P = .08), and that of relapse was 17.7% (1.9) versus 17.2% (1.9), respectively (P = .94). Adverse reactions in phase IB occurred in 22.2% and 8.9% of patients in the experimental and control arm, respectively (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Additional PEG-ASNASE in phase IB did not translate into a benefit for decreasing relapse incidence but was associated with higher toxicity. Further improvements with conventional chemotherapy might be difficult in the context of intensive treatment protocols.

A comprehensive international consensus on the cytogenetic risk-group stratification of KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is lacking. This retrospective (2005-2016) International Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster Study Group study on 1256 children with KMT2A-r AML aims to validate the prognostic value of established recurring KMT2A fusions and additional cytogenetic aberrations (ACAs) and to define additional, recurring KMT2A fusions and ACAs, evaluating their prognostic relevance. Compared with our previous study, 3 additional, recurring KMT2A-r groups were defined: Xq24/KMT2A::SEPT6, 1p32/KMT2A::EPS15, and 17q12/t(11;17)(q23;q12). Across 13 KMT2A-r groups, 5-year event-free survival probabilities varied significantly (21.8%-76.2%; P < .01). ACAs occurred in 46.8% of 1200 patients with complete karyotypes, correlating with inferior overall survival (56.8% vs 67.9%; P < .01). Multivariable analyses confirmed independent associations of 4q21/KMT2A::AFF1, 6q27/KMT2A::AFDN, 10p12/KMT2A::MLLT10, 10p11.2/KMT2A::ABI1, and 19p13.3/KMT2A::MLLT1 with adverse outcomes, but not those of 1q21/KMT2A::MLLT11 and trisomy 19 with favorable and adverse outcomes, respectively. Newly identified ACAs with independent adverse prognoses were monosomy 10, trisomies 1, 6, 16, and X, add(12p), and del(9q). Among patients with 9p22/KMT2A::MLLT3, the independent association of French-American-British-type M5 with favorable outcomes was confirmed, and those of trisomy 6 and measurable residual disease at end of induction with adverse outcomes were identified. We provide evidence to incorporate 5 adverse-risk KMT2A fusions into the cytogenetic risk-group stratification of KMT2A-r pediatric AML, to revise the favorable-risk classification of 1q21/KMT2A::MLLT11 to intermediate risk, and to refine the risk-stratification of 9p22/KMT2A::MLLT3 AML. Future studies should validate the associations between the newly identified ACAs and outcomes and unravel the underlying biological pathogenesis of KMT2A fusions and ACAs.

PURPOSE: We aimed to study prognostic factors and efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in first remission of patients with noninfant childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with 11q23/KMT2A rearrangements treated with chemotherapy regimens between 1995 and 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data were retrospectively retrieved from 629 patients with 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged ALL from 17 members of the Ponte-di-Legno Childhood ALL Working Group. Clinical and biologic characteristics, early response assessed by minimal residual disease at the end of induction (EOI) therapy, and allo-HSCT were analyzed for their impact on outcomes. RESULTS: A specific 11q23/KMT2A translocation partner gene was identified in 84.3% of patients, with the most frequent translocations being t(4;11)(q21;q23) (n = 273; 51.5%), t(11;19)(q23;p13.3) (n = 106; 20.0%), t(9;11)(p21_22;q23) (n = 76; 14.3%), t(6;11)(q27;q23) (n = 20; 3.8%), and t(10;11)(p12;q23) (n = 14; 2.6%); 41 patients (7.7%) had less frequently identified translocation partner genes. Patient characteristics and early response varied among subgroups, indicating large biologic heterogeneity and diversity in therapy sensitivity among 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged ALL. The EOI remission rate was 93.2%, and the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) for the entire cohort was 69.1% ± 1.9%, with a range from 41.7% ± 17.3% for patients with t(9;11)-positive T-ALL (n = 9) and 64.8% ± 3.0% for patients with t(4;11)-positive B-ALL (n = 266) to 91.2% ± 4.9% for patients with t(11;19)-positive T-ALL (n = 34). Low EOI minimal residual disease was associated with favorable EFS, and induction failure was particularly predictive of nonresponse to further therapy and relapse and poor EFS. In addition, EFS was not improved by allo-HSCT compared with chemotherapy only in patients with both t(4;11)-positive B-ALL (n = 64 v 51; P = .10) and 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged T-ALL (n = 16 v 10; P = .69). CONCLUSION: Compared with historical data, prognosis of patients with noninfant 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged ALL has improved, but allo-HSCT failed to affect outcome. Targeted therapies are needed to reduce relapse and treatment-related mortality rates.

PURPOSE: Historically, patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) who fail to achieve remission at the end of induction (EOI) have had poor long-term survival. The goal of this study was to examine the efficacy of contemporary therapy, including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in first remission (CR1). METHODS: Induction failure (IF) was defined as the persistence of at least 5% bone marrow (BM) lymphoblasts and/or extramedullary disease after 4-6 weeks of induction chemotherapy. Disease features and clinical outcomes were reported in 325 of 6,167 (5%) patients age 21 years and younger treated in 14 cooperative study groups between 2000 and 2018. RESULTS: With a median follow-up period of 6.4 years (range, 0.3-17.9 years), the 10-year overall survival (OS) was 54.7% (SE = 2.9), which is significantly higher than the 27.6% (SE = 2.9) observed in the historical cohort from 1985 to 2000. There was no significant impact of sex, age, white blood cell count, central nervous system disease status, T-cell maturity, or BM disease burden at EOI on OS. Postinduction complete remission (CR) was achieved in 93% of patients with 10-year OS of 59.6% (SE = 3.1%) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 56.3% (SE = 3.1%). Among the patients who achieved CR, 72% underwent HSCT and their 10-year DFS (with a 190-day landmark) was significantly better than nontransplanted patients (63.8% [SE = 3.6] v 45.5% [SE = 7.1]; P = .005), with OS of 66.2% (SE = 3.6) versus 50.8% (SE = 6.8); P = .10, respectively. CONCLUSION: Outcomes for patients age 21 years and younger with T-ALL and IF have improved in the contemporary treatment era with a DFS benefit among those undergoing HSCT in CR1. However, outcomes still lag considerably behind those who achieve remission at EOI, warranting investigation of new treatment approaches.
