According to the study results, it is recommended that all myeloid neoplasms with KMT2A (MLL) rearrangement be classified as AML, regardless of the number of blasts.

In patients with ts-AML and previous exposure to HMA, HMA + Ven resulted in significantly higher ORR rates and improved OS compared to IC / LIC, especially in patients with a  non-adverse risk karyotype and in patients 60 years of age or more. Thus, instead of chemotherapy-based therapies, HMA + Ven should be preferred in patients with ts-AML and previous exposure to HMA. The study results also confirm the very poor outcome results of ts-AML. This is a poor risk subgroup of AML where new, effective therapies are needed.

The study found no statistically significant difference in overall survival between induction with CPX-351 and ven/aza.

The presence of STM is an independent unfavorable prognostic factor for AML. This can be overcome through allogeneic HCT.

Despite generally poor results, in a subgroup of these patients, alloHCT appears to improve long-term survival.

First and second-generation FLT3i-based doublet therapies generated comparable response rates. The survival rate in older adults with newly diagnosed FLT3 mutated AML was 9-16 months. The triplet combination was able to significantly improve the CR / CRi rates, the FLT3-PCR and MFC-MRD rates, and also the overall survival. The early mortality in this retrospective analysis was not increased. Prospective validation of triplet therapy in older and/or unfit AML patients would be desirable.
