Keith W Pratz: Novel risk signature for AML treated with Azacitidine and Venetoclax

Keith W Pratz, Director of Leukemia at the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania, shared on X:

“Happy to share novel risk signature for AML treated with Azacitidine and Venetoclax. These data derived from VIALE-A trial demonstrate mutations in four genes (TP53, FLT-3, KRAS, and NRAS) predict patient outcomes more definitively than ELN2022 or ELN 2017.”

Rahul Bhansali, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at Penn Medicine – Abramson Cancer Center, shared this post, adding:

“Nice to see these data out! My takeaways:

  1. TP53 still the bad player.
  2. MDS-related mutations in the higher benefit group with Ven-aza with earlier recent studies of RUNX1, ASXL1, etc.
  3. Waiting for more data on triplets and/or sequencing on FLT3 outcomes in this context.”
