Popis:	Background In myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achievement of complete remission (CR) is a prerequisite for potential cure. In AML, CR/CR with incomplete recovery (CRi) is deemed the major outcome associated with improved overall survival (OS); patients (pts) without CR/CRi are considered non-responders, and hematologic improvement (HI) without (assessment of) bone marrow (BM) blast clearance is considered treatment (trt) failure. Achievement of CR may not be necessary for prolonged OS in pts treated with azacitidine (AZA) (Pleyer L, Annals Hematol 2014, 1825; Schuh AC, ASH 2015, P575). Outside of clinical trials, BM evaluations (BME) are only performed in ~50% of pts (Dinmohamed, Leuk Res 2015, 177) when either response or progression are obvious from peripheral blood (PB) values, or when pts are unable or unwilling to have BME. Aims To assess of the impact of response type on AZA trt outcomes in multivariate adjusted analyses (MVA). Methods 1441 pts included in the Austrian Azacitidine Registry were analyzed (NCT01595295). Data cut-off was 1 July 21. Marrow response was assessed for MDS/CMML and AML at each BME; HI was assessed on day 1 of each AZA cycle (Döhner H, Blood 2017, 424; Cheson BD, Blood 2006, 419; Pleyer L, ASH 2019, P3821); peripheral blood complete remission (PB-CR) was defined as hemoglobin ³11 g/dL, platelet count ≥100 G/L, neutrophil count ³1.0 G/L, white blood cell count Results In total, 521, 135, and 785 pts had MDS, CMML and AML. Median year of initial diagnosis was 2012, median time to AZA start was 3·0 (IQR 1·0-13·2) months (mo), median follow-up time from AZA start was 10.6 (IQR 4·0-21·1) mo, 894 pts received AZA as first line trt, median age at AZA start was 73 (range 23-99) years. In total, 13956 AZA cycles were applied, median duration of AZA trt was 5·0 (IQR 1·9-12·1) mo, median AZA dose was 875 (IQR 700-1000) mg/cycle, AZA was applied for a median of 7 (IQR 5-7) days. Median time to best response was 3·7 (IQR 2·0-5·9) months. Early mortality was 5.5% within 30 days. During AZA trt 1225 BM evaluations (BME) were performed in 697 (48·4%) of pts. Of these, 204 achieved CR/CRi. Irrespective of BME, 622 (43%) of 1441 pts achieved an HI and 264 (18·3%) of 1441 pts achieved a PB-CR. Pts achieving CR had longer adjusted OS (23·7 vs 19·7 mo, p=0·0227; HR=0·621 [0·413-0·936]) and TTNT (19·4 vs 15·7 mo, p=0·0262; HR=0·644 [0·436-0·949]) than pts achieving CRi. Among pts achieving CR, those additionally achieving PB-CR had longer adjusted OS (24·8 vs 16·3; p=0·0040; HR=0·256 [0·101-0·647]; Fig 1A) and TTNT (21·2 vs 11·0; p=0·0005; HR=0·219 [0·094-0·513]; Fig 1B) than those who did not. Among pts not achieving CR, those additionally achieving PB-CR had longer adjusted OS (20·8 vs 14·1; p Among all pts, irrespective of BM blast count, achievement of PB-CR resulted in longer adjusted OS (21·7 vs 10·0 mo; p Among all response types and after MVA, the highest prognostic impact on both OS and TTNT was observed when achieving PB-CR or CR/CRi by cycle 9 or 10 (Fig 2A-B). Conclusions Above data indicate that achievement of PB-CR is a strong predictor of OS and TTNT that provides additional information to current response criteria. Inclusion of PB-CR in updated response criteria of pts with MDS, CMML or AML receiving non-intensive trt should be considered. The greatest advantage of PB-CR is that it can be easily, nearly painlessly and quickly assessed. Inclusion of PB-CR as an endpoint in clinical trials would be desirable for validation of these results. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures Pleyer: AbbVie, BMS, Novartis: Honoraria, Other: Travel Sport.
