Background: ENA is an oral, selective inhibitor of IDH2 approved for the treatment (Tx) of patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory IDH2 mutated (IDH2m) AML. Here we report the results of a Phase 2 expansion and Phase 1b of the Beat AML Master Trial Phase 2/1b sub-study to assess the efficacy of Tx of newly diagnosed (ND) IDH2m AML pts ≥ 60 years of age with ENA monotherapy (ENAm) and subsequent response-driven addition of AZA Tx. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03013998). Methods: The study initiated with a 3-outcome, 2-stage Phase 2 design, which enrolled patients on ENAm for up to 5 cycles. Pts without CR/CRi after 5 cycles of ENAm, or progression/intolerance prior to this time, were transferred to Phase 1b to receive ENA + AZA (Figure 1). Key eligibility included ND IDH2m AML pts with age ≥ 60 years and ECOG performance status 0-2. Pts received ENAm 100 mg/day in continuous 28-day cycles and ENA + AZA (75 mg/m2 days 1-7 every 28 days) for Phase 1b. Response was assessed using 2017 ELN AML criteria. The primary endpoint was CR/CRi rate. The 2-stage design required 24 pts and tested the null hypothesis (H0) that CR/CRi rate equaled 20% vs 50% and then expanded to test a revised H0 of 30% vs 50% in 60 pts (conditional alpha=0.025, power=77%). Expansion also allowed further assessment of safety of this treatment regimen. Results: At data cut off (06/18/2020), 60 pts enrolled, received ENAm, and were evaluable for the primary endpoint. Median age was 75 years and 52% were female (Table 1). Median time on ENAm was 4.7 months (mos). At data cut off, 12 pts were still on ENAm Tx. Most common reasons for discontinuing ENAm were Tx failure (defined as no response to treatment) (23 or 38%), disease progression (loss of response to treatment) (7 or 12%) and adverse events (AEs; 6 or 10%). Five pts (8%) went to transplant. CR/CRi was achieved in 28 pts (47%; adjusted 95% CI 28-59, unadjusted exact 95% CI 34-60) (Table 2). Responses were higher (p=0.04) among the 44 pts with IDH2 R140 (55%) as compared to the 16 with IDH2 R172 mutation (25%) further supporting distinct biology between these subsets. After a median follow up of 14.6 mos, the median overall survival (mOS) was 24.4 mos (95% CI 10.6-not reached). The median duration of response was not reached with 12 mos estimation of 57% (95% CI 34-75). Overall, 20 ENA-related serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in 15 pts, the most common was differentiation syndrome (12 or 20%) and 1 had ENA-related SAE of tumor lysis syndrome (1.7%). One pt had ENA-related Grade 5 AE (renal failure/death). Most common AEs of any grade (in ≥20%) were nausea, anemia, and low potassium (Table 3). The 7-day/30-day/60-day deaths observed with ENAm were 2%/5%/11%, respectively. Phase 1b: Seventeen pts had inadequate response to ENAm and transferred to Phase 1b to receive ENA + AZA. Median time on Tx (including ENAm) was 6.2 mos and median time on Tx after pts started ENA + AZA was 2.1 mos (Table 2). Most common reasons for discontinuing ENA + AZA included Tx failure (5 or 29%), disease progression (2 or 12%), transplant, death and AEs (each 2 or 12%). CR/CRi was 41% (exact 95% CI 18-67). After a median follow up of 12.7 mos, the mOS from start of ENA + AZA combination Tx was 8.9 mos. Four ENA-related SAEs occurred in 3 pts on ENA + AZA Tx and the most common was differentiation syndrome (2 or 12.5%). One dose-limiting toxicity (Grade 3 nausea) related to both Txs was observed. Most common AEs (≥20%) of any grade were anemia, low albumin and vomiting (Table 3). One death occurred at day 13 of ENA + AZA. Conclusions: In newly diagnosed pts ≥60 years old with IDH2m AML, ENA had a low early death rate, high CR/CRi rate (47%, adjusted 95% CI 28-59), and yielded durable remissions. The most common unique toxicity with ENA was differentiation syndrome that occurred in 20% of patients. In pts who did not achieve CR/CRi with ENAm, a subset of patients achieved CR/CRi with addition of AZA. This combined approach of serial therapy with ENA monotherapy followed by AZA addition in pts with sub-optimal response resulted in a mOS exceeding 2 years for pts enrolled on study. Further focus on improving response among patients with IDH2 R172 mutations, identifying subsets of pts not responding to ENA monotherapy, and integrating new targeted agents into this treatment regimen are warranted.

OffLabel Disclosure: Enasidenib is not approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed AML.

Background: IVO is an oral potent inhibitor of mutated IDH1 (IDH1m) enzyme, recently approved for the treatment (Tx) of ND adult patients (pts) with IDH1m AML ≥75 years old or with comorbidities precluding use of intensive induction chemotherapy, and adult pts with relapsed or refractory AML. In this Phase 2 sub-study of the Beat AML Master Trial, we evaluated the efficacy of IVO + AZA combination Tx in ND pts aged ≥60 years with IDH1m AML (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03013998) Methods: This open-label multicenter (16 sites / 9 enrolling) combination Tx study enrolled ND pts with R132 mIDH1 AML, utilizing the modified minimax Simon's 2-stage Phase 2 design. Pts received IVO + AZA for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression (PD), unacceptable toxicity or stem cell transplant. Pts who achieved complete remission (CR)/complete remission with hematologic improvement (CRh)/complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) continued IVO + AZA for a total of 12 cycles, then IVO monotherapy until PD. Pts without CR/CRh/CRi after 6 cycles continued IVO + AZA if they demonstrated Tx benefit, as defined in Figure 1. Key eligibility included ND IDH1 R132 mutated AML pts aged ≥60 years and ECOG performance status 0 - 2 (Karnofsky ≥60). All pts received IVO 500 mg/day orally in continuous 28-day cycles + AZA 75 mg/m2 IV or SC on days 1-7 every 28 days. The primary endpoint was CR+CRh+CRi rate after 6 cycles of Tx. Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The modified minimax Simon's 2-stage design required 40 pts and tested the null hypothesis that the CR/CRh/CRi rate equaled 25% vs the alternative of 50% (one-sided alpha = 0.025, power 90%). Stage 1 required >5/16 responses for continued enrollment. Even though these criteria were met, the sponsor decided to discontinue the trial on 12/12/2019. Here we report the final primary endpoint results. Data were frozen 02/03/2021. Results: Between 07/2018 and 11/2019, 19 patients were enrolled with IDH1m AML; 18 started IVO + AZA Tx and are included in the analyses. At data freeze, 5 pts had died and 7 pts still on Tx were offered standard of care IVO. Median age of the pts was 75 years, 50% were ≥75 years, 61% were female and 89% were White (Table 1). The most common reasons for Tx discontinuation were trial discontinued by sponsor (7 or 39%), stem cell transplant (4 or 22%), and PD (3 or 17%). A total of 13 pts achieved CR/CRh/CRi (72%) by up to 6 cycles of Tx (Table 2 & Figure 2). Over the entire study period, 14 pts achieved CR/CRh/CRi (78%) with 8 CR (44%), 3 CRh (17%) and 3 CRi (17%). No deaths occurred within the first 60 days of Tx. After a median follow up of 19.8 months (mos), Page 2 median response duration was not reached, with 12-mos disease-free survival rate of 69%; also, median OS was not reached, with 12- and 18-mos OS rates of 100% and 73%, respectively. The median (range) time on Tx was 12 mos ( Conclusions: In ND pts with IDH1m AML and ≥60 years of age, IVO + AZA Tx was associated with a high CR/CRh/CRi rate, no early deaths (60 days) and a 1-year OS of 100%. IVO + AZA was acceptably tolerated and no unexpected toxicities occurred. Most common unique toxicities of IVO observed during the study were differentiation syndrome and QTc prolongation; these led to Tx discontinuation in only 1 pt. CR/CRh/CRi rate obtained with IVO +AZA is higher than that previously reported in studies with the individual agents or intensive chemotherapy approaches, suggesting a synergistic effect. Our overall response rate is similar to that reported recently for IVO + AZA in older ND IDH1 mutant AML pts, despite not including pts with morphologic leukemia-free state and partial remission. Based on these results, a global Phase 3 evaluation of IVO or placebo plus AZA is ongoing (NCT03173248). Figure 1 Figure 1.

OffLabel Disclosure: IVO is an oral potent inhibitor of mutated IDH1 enzyme, recently approved for the treatment of ND adult patients with IDH1m AML âââ,¬Â°Ã,Â¥75 years old or with comorbidities precluding use of intensive induction chemotherapy, and adult pts with relapsed or refractory AML. The combination of AZA, a hypomethylating agent, and venetoclax, an oral BCL-2 inhibitor, is also FDA approved for newly diagnosed AML in adults 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities precluding intensive chemotherapy. This presentation will discuss the combination of IVO and AZA.

Background: GILT is an oral potent selective FLT3 kinase inhibitor approved for marketing for the treatment (Tx) of patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory FLT3 mutated (FLT3m) AML but efficacy in older ND FLT3m AML pts is unknown. Furthermore, FLT3m can be present as a dominant or subclone and impact of FLT3 inhibitor therapy in this setting is uncertain. Here we report the results of a Phase 2/1b sub-study of the Beat AML Master Trial to assess the efficacy of GILT monotherapy (GILTm) in ND FLT3m AML pts aged ≥60 years with high and low VAF and the subsequent response-driven addition of DEC Tx. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03013998) Methods: The study was an open-label multicenter (15 sites), 3-outcome, 2-stage Phase 2 design that assigned pts to either Dominant FLT3/Group 1 (GP1) or Non-Dominant FLT3/Group 2 (GP2) as shown in Figure 1. Key eligibility criteria included ND FLT3m AML pts with high and low VAF and/or ITD ratio, aged ≥60 years, and ECOG performance status 0-2. In the Phase 2 study, all pts received GILTm 120 mg/day on days 1 - 28. Pts without CR/CRi after cycle 2 were transferred to the Phase 1b study to receive GILT + DEC (Figure 1). Phase 1b study utilized a standard 3+3 design to evaluate the safety/tolerability of concurrent GILT + DEC. Pts received GILT (dose level 1 [DL1] = 80 mg/day or dose level 2 [DL2] = 120 mg/day on days 1-28) + DEC 20 mg/m 2 IV on days 1-10 or 1-5 every 28 days. Primary endpoint was CR+CRi rate (Phase 2). Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The non-dominant GP2 was stopped for futility, GP1 was stopped early to modify trial to include venetoclax. Results: Phase 2 - Between 9/10/2018 to 2/11/2020, 19 / 20 enrolled pts (GP1: n = 9; GP2: n = 10) received GILTm and were included in analyses. Baseline pt characteristics are shown in Table 1. Median (range) time on GILTm was 3 cycles (1 - 18) in GP1 and 1 cycle (1 - 9) in GP2. Most common reasons for discontinuing Tx were Tx failure (TF; 44%) and relapse (33%) in GP1 and TF (70%) and disease progression (PD; 20%) in GP2. Overall CR+CRi was achieved in 4 pts (44%) in GP1 and 1 pt (10%) in GP2. Response duration are shown in Table 2. After median follow-up of 14.3 months (mos) and 19 mos in GP1 and GP2, respectively, 1-year OS was 56% and 76%. Most common Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were febrile neutropenia and colitis (each 25%) in GP1; anemia and low platelet count in GP2 (each 30%). Overall, 7 pts had 15 serious AEs (SAEs) and all SAEs occurred in GP1 pts; most common SAE was colitis (25%) and 1 pt (13%) had a Tx-related Grade 3 SAE of tumor lysis syndrome. In GP2, 1 pt (10%) had Tx-related Grade 2 AE of differentiation syndrome. In GP1, 2 pts died within 60 days of Tx and none in GP2. Phase1b - After up to 2 cycles of GILTm, 12 pts with no CR/CRi (GP1: n = 4; GP2: n = 8) were transferred to receive GILT + DEC (Figure 1). At the time of this report, 1 pt with CRh remained on Tx. Median total time on Tx (including GILTm) was 4 cycles and median time on GILT + DEC Tx was 3 cycles (Table 2). Most common reasons for discontinuing Tx were PD (33%) and TF (25%); and 2 pts (17%) stopped Tx due to an AE. Pts were treated with DL1 GILT + DEC (n = 3), then DL2 GILT + DEC (n = 9); only 1 pt had dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at DL2 (Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia and pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy), hence, DL2 GILT + DEC was considered the MTD. CR+CRi rate was 25% in 3 pts, all at DL2 (Table 2). After a median follow-up of 17.8 mos, the 1-year OS from start of GILT + DEC Tx was 57%. Most common Grade ≥3 Tx-related AEs were anemia, febrile neutropenia and low WBC count (each 22%). Overall, 6 pts had 12 SAEs; 1 pt with SAE of Grade 4 sepsis died. Three GILT-related SAEs occurred in 1 pt - Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia, and pneumonitis and Grade 1 transaminases increased. One pt died within 30 days and a second within 60 days of Tx. No difference was observed in GILT pharmacokinetics (PK) with or without DEC, however steady state Ctrough values were 1.4 to 2.3-fold greater than in relapsed/refractory AML pts (Admiral trial). Conclusions: In ND pts ≥60 years old with dominant FLT3 AML, GILTm induced a high 44% CR+CRi rate and long median OS (21.7 mos). Pts with non-dominant FLT3 had low 10% CR+CRi rate. GILTm was generally safe and was associated with differentiation syndrome in 1 pt. Concurrent GILT + DEC was acceptably tolerated, only 1 pt had a DLT, and the MTD was 120 mg/day GILT + DEC. A subset of pts with no CR/CRi during GILTm achieved remission with addition of DEC. Based on these results, a triple combination Tx study with venetoclax is currently enrolling. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Background: In vitro studies and emerging clinical data suggest that inhibition of spleen tyrosine kinase may have an antileukemic effect in human AML. Pts with AML and TP53 mutations (TP53m) are commonly associated with older age (≥60 years) and complex karyotype (CK) and respond poorly to standard 7 + 3 induction (IND) chemotherapy with Methods: This multicenter (13 sites), open-label, Phase 2 combination Tx study utilized Simon's 2-stage Phase 2 design and enrolled AML pts with TP53m (identified molecularly) ± CK (Cohort A) or CK (≥3 metaphase abnormalities) without TP53m (Cohort B). Pts initially received 5 days of ENTO lead-in (which was later discontinued), followed by ENTO + DEC and those who achieved CR/CRh/CRi/MLFS with up to 3 cycles of IND proceeded to consolidation (CON) Tx for up to 11 cycles (Figure 1). Pts with CRi/MLFS after IND were allowed up to 6 cycles (IND + CON) to achieve CR/CRh or stayed on Tx if they got clinical benefit or went off Tx. CON was followed by maintenance (MTN) Tx for up to 2 years from start of study Tx. Pts were eligible if aged ≥60 years, ND, and had ECOG performance status 0 - 2. Pts received ENTO 400 mg orally twice daily for 5 days during ENTO lead-in, and then every 28 days during IND, CON, and MTN + DEC 20 mg/m 2 IV days 1-10 (IND) or days 1-5 (CON) every 28 days. Response was assessed using modified 2017 ELN AML criteria. The primary endpoint was composite complete remission (CCR) rate (CR + CRh) with up to 3 cycles of IND, and CRi/MLFS that achieved CR/CRh by up to 6 cycles (IND + CON). Beyond stage 1, pt accrual to Cohort A was allowed based on pts with CRi and to Cohort B was stopped early for futility. Results: Between Oct 2017 and Feb 2020, of the 63 pts enrolled (Cohort A = 48; Cohort B = 15), pts with confirmed eligibility who started study Tx were included in the analyses (Cohort A = 45; Cohort B = 13). During lead-in, 27 pts in Cohort A and 6 pts in Cohort B received ENTOm for 5 days. All pts received ENTO + DEC except 1 pt in Cohort A who withdrew consent (WOC). Median ages of the pts were 70 years (range 60 - 84) in Cohort A and 74 years (range 65 - 86) in Cohort B. Median time (range) on Tx was 2.2 mos and 4.8 mos in Cohort A and B, respectively. Most common reasons for Tx discontinuation were adverse event (AE; 27%), Tx failure (TF; 27%) and WOC (18%) in Cohort A; TF (31%), disease progression and relapse (each 15%) in Cohort B. In each cohort, 1 pt discontinued Tx due to death from leukemia and 1 pt in Cohort A in CRh due to development of an additional genetic abnormality. Four pts (9%) in Cohort A and 1 pt (8%) in Cohort B proceeded to transplant. The CCR (CR + CRh) rates with up to 6 cycles of Tx for Cohort A and B were 13.3% and 30.8%, respectively; overall CR + CRh rates were 17.8% and 38.5% (Table 1). In Cohort A, with a median follow-up of 11.5 months, 0% were 1-year disease-free and median OS (mOS) was 6.5 months. In Cohort B, with a median follow-up of 15.1 months, 25% were 1-year disease-free and mOS was 11.5 months. Deaths within 7-, 30-, and 60-days of Tx were 0, 3 and 11 in Cohort A and 0, 0 and 2 in Cohort B. Most common treatment-related Grade ≥3 AEs in Cohort A and B were febrile neutropenia (31% and 39%) and anemia (22% and 31%) (Table 2). Overall, 83 serious AEs (SAEs) were reported in 33 pts in Cohort A and 12 SAEs in 6 pts in Cohort B; most common SAEs in Cohort A were pneumonia (18%) and respiratory failure (11%), and in Cohort B sepsis, dehydration and acute kidney injury (each 15%). Most common treatment-related grade ≥3 laboratory abnormalities in Cohort A and B were neutrophils decreased (27% and 31%), WBC count decreased (20% and 23%), and lymphocyte count decreased (18% and 15%). Conclusions: ENTO + DEC demonstrated activity in ND AML pts aged ≥60 years with TP53m ± CK and CK without TP53 but induced low CR/CRh rates and short OS consistent with previously published poor CR rates and OS in these pts. Our results differ from the high remission rate and longer OS previously reported for DEC monotherapy in AML pts with TP53m. ENTO + DEC was safe and acceptably tolerated. Novel Tx strategies that can benefit AML pts with these most adverse risk factors are urgently needed. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures Ruppert: Telios Pharma: Consultancy.

Background: NGS of myeloid mutations is an integral part of AML clinical decision-making. There is currently no information regarding concordance between NGS panels in AML using samples from the same patient across various platforms in different diagnostic laboratories. To study this important question, we analyzed NGS of myeloid mutations in diagnostic samples from The Beat AML Master Trial (BAMT) for newly diagnosed older AML patients, and compared variant calls made between institutional laboratories enrolling the study subject with those made by Foundation Medicine (FM), the central laboratory used for treatment assignment in this precision medicine trial. Methods: We identified newly diagnosed AML patient samples (peripheral blood (PB) and/or bone marrow (BM)) from 2 lead institutions in the BAMT(Ohio State, OSU and Oregon Health and Sciences University, OHSU) that were analyzed by both the institutional and by FM from Nov 15, 2016 to Apr 15, 2019. Samples sent to both laboratories >3 days apart were excluded. Samples were analyzed at the institutional laboratories using their respective NGS mutational panels and by FM using the FoundationOne®Heme(FMH) NGS panel which utilizes capture based sequencing. The OSU NGS assay utilizes sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. The OHSU NGS assay employs semiconductor-based sequencing (Ion Torrent PGM platform). The variant allele frequency (VAF) sensitivity for detection for all 3 laboratories range from 1-2%. We evaluated the ability to identify mutations in 8 genes : FLT3, IDH1/ 2, NPM1, TET2, DNMT3A, WT1 and TP53 used in treatment assignment in theBAMT. A detection cutoff of 2% was used to define the presence or absence of a mutation. Overall, agreement was defined as the number of times the local and central laboratories made the same call divided by the total number of patients. Sensitivity was defined as the number of present calls made locally divided by the number of present calls made centrally, and specificity as the number of absent calls made locally divided by the number of absent calls made centrally. The overall kappa statistic, controlling for institution, provided another measure of agreement between local and central calls, where a value of 1 indicates perfect agreement. Results: 194 patient samples were identified using methods above and analyzed locally at the screening institution (125 at OSU, 69 at OHSU) and centrally at FM. Type of tissue analyzed for variants between local site and FM were 59 PB, 129 BM, and 6 with BM/PB mismatch. Overall agreement in presence/absence calls between local and central results for each of the 8 genes was over 95% (Table 1). There was perfect agreement for NPM1. The sensitivity was above 94% for all genes except TP53 (88.6%) and WT1 (63.6%). Failure to detect a mutation locally was primarily due to reporting of all TP53 variants, including variants of unknown significance (VUS) (5) by FM as agreed upon in the study protocol, detection at low levels below local site sensitivity cutoff (1), detection of variants in a portion of gene not covered at the local site(1)and possible artifact (1). For the WT1 gene, discordance in 5 samples included VUS (3) reported by FM ,a variant detected in a portion of the gene not covered at the local site(1).and difference in leukemic tissue analyzed with mutation not detected by the central laboratory on a PB sample, and present at the institutional lab on a BM sample; affecting the overall agreement and specificity but not sensitivity. Specificity was at least 98% for each of the 8 genes. Finally, most discrepancies in reported mutations in FLT3 (n=2), IDH1 (n=1), IDH2 (n=2), DNMT3A (n=4) and TET2 (n=5) were due to reporting of VUS in one laboratory and not by another. Conclusion: Detection of pathogenic myeloid mutations using orthogonal assays showed a high degree of concordance for genes used in therapeutic assignment on the BAMT.The small number of discordant results, in TP53 and WT1, were attributed to the reporting of VUS. This study illustrates the importance of quality control and standardization as NGS continues to be widely utilized in AML for clinical decision making, with a variety of platforms across multiple laboratories. Our next steps involve evaluating the differences in VAFs reported between local and central laboratories when a given mutation is identified, as well as the potential reasons for observed differences and clinical implications of known pathogenic mutations vs putative VUS.

*equal contribution of AB, RLL, BD and JCB Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is common with increasing age, and older adults with AML rarely achieve long-term remission with chemotherapy. Gene discovery studies in older adults with AML have shown that this malignancy is characterized by a multitude of somatic genomic alterations beginning with initiating somatic events followed by acquisition of collaborative transforming mutations. Despite these important biologic insights, current therapeutic approaches to AML remain limited, particularly in adults ≥ 60 years of age. The Beat AML trial was designed to assess the feasibility of using genetic profiling to assign patients (pts) to molecularly defined, subtype-specific therapies within 7 days of the initial diagnosis in a multi-center clinical trial setting, and to delineate the role of molecularly informed first-line treatment of AML with mechanism based novel therapies. Methods: Treatment-naïve patients with AML were enrolled in this prospective trial which offered accelerated cytogenetic and comprehensive mutational testing within 7 days followed by treatment assignment using these molecular data. Pt eligibility included age ≥ 60 years with non-APML AML, no known CNS leukemia, no prior hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy and no clinical need for emergent therapy. Eligible pts were profiled by local cytogenetics analysis and using a central next generation sequencing (NGS) assay (Foundation Medicine, Inc.) with all molecular data required for treatment assignment (TA) obtained < 7 days. TA was made centrally using a pre-determined algorithm considering somatic cytogenetic and molecular alterations in the dominant clone, available targeted therapeutics for specific AML subsets, and the likelihood of cure with intensive chemotherapy. Results: From November 2016 to January 2019, 487 pts with a suspected diagnosis of AML had enrolled at 14 clinical sites; 395 were eligible for the study (77% of the patients not eligible for the study had an alternative diagnosis). The median age of eligible patients was 72 years (range: 60 to 92) with 38% being≥ 75 years and 16% with treatment-related AML. From the 395 eligible patients, 374 (94.7%) were centrally assigned to the different cytogenetic/genomic groups within 7 days. The most common groups were TP53 mutated (19%) and marker negative (18%) molecular groups. The Beat AML trial is dynamic by design, thereby allowing different arms to open over time; all trial arms are designed to evaluate for substantial clinical efficacy in small, molecularly defined patient subsets. As shown in Figure 1, 224 patients (57%) had a TA and consented to a BEAT AML sub-study. Of the remaining 171 patients, 103 received standard therapy defined as induction therapy (7+3) or hypomethylation agent (25 before TA and 78 after TA), 28 received an alternative investigational agent (5 before TA and 23 after TA), 38 received palliative care, and 2 had an unknown treatment status and are grouped with the palliative care patients in subsequent analyses; 9 patients died before TA (2 who received standard therapy and 7 in the palliative care group). Demographic, clinical, performance and molecular characteristics were not largely different between pts who elected targeted therapy as part of the BEAT AML trial versus those who elected standard therapy. As shown in Figure 2, the overall survival was significantly longer for patients enrolled in a targeted therapy arm as part of the BEAT AML trial compared to those who elected standard therapy. (p Conclusion: Our data support the feasibility of a rapid precision medicine approach in older patients with previously untreated AML. Patients with AML who elected treatment assigned based upon cytogenetic and molecular alterations in the dominant clone using a novel precision medicine approach had significantly improved overall survival versus those who elected standard of care treatment.

Introduction: Inherited predisposition to myeloid malignancies in adults may be more common than previously suggested with recent studies suggesting a prevalence of candidate predisposition alleles in 15-20% of patients. An inherited predisposition may not be considered in older AML patients despite significant clinical implications for family members as potential stem cell transplant donors. To better define the role of inherited genetic alterations in older AML patients , we analyzed a unique cohort of newly diagnosed older (>60 years) patients enrolled in) Beat AML® Master Trial(BAMT) for candidate genes associated with a known or putative inherited cancer predisposition. Methods: We analyzed extracted DNA from skin and/or saliva samples compared to paired leukemia samples of 176 AML patients enrolled in the BAMT. All samples underwent genomic profiling using a modified FoundationOne®Heme platform (capture-based) and/or the Oregon Health Sciences University panel (amplicon-based), evaluating 477 and 220 genes respectively, with a known role in hematologic malignancies. Germline(GL) variants were identified by the haplotype-based Bayesian genetic variant detector FreeBayes and using variant allele frequency(VAF) values. The pathogenicity and clinical significance of the variants was interpreted according to the 2015 ACMG/AMP guidelines while the AMP/CAP/ASCO guidelines and various disease databases were used in the somatic variant calls. Results: -The mutational landscape of the 176 newly diagnosed older AML patients is detailed in Table 1. Our cohort has a higher proportion of adverse risk patients, consistent with an older AML patient population. 27 pathogenic or likely pathogenic GL variants were detected in 24 AML patients, with a germline mutation prevalence of 14% in this cohort. Deleterious GL mutations were found in the gene DDX41 (5), followed by SBDS (4), CHEK2 (4), MPL (3), BRCA2 (2), HAX1 (2), DNAH9 (2), FANCA (1), FANCL (1), SAMD9 (1), BLM (1), and ATM (1) (Table 2). The types of mutations included missense mutations (9), nonsense mutations (8), frameshift mutations (7), splice site mutations (2), and an exonic deletion (1). Family history of leukemia was available on 129 patients from this cohort. 12 patients have at least one family member with AML. Of these 12 patients, 2 had a deleterious GL alteration identified. Along with the 14% prevalence of pathogenic/likely pathogenic GL mutations , there were an additional 181 GL variants of unknown significance (VUS) in 102 patients, seen in genes implicated in inherited predisposition to hematologic malignancies, most commonly variants in DOCK8 and CREBBP(>5% VUS) with both genes being implicated in leukemogenesis . As skin and/or saliva samples were collected at the time of AML diagnosis, tumor-in-normal presence was expectedly observed. The median VAF for somatic mutations was significantly lower (p < 0.0001) in skin (median 6%; mean 9%; standard deviation (SD) 10%; N=562 variants) than in saliva (median 17%; mean 21%; SD 16%; N=368 variants). In 37 patients who had both saliva and skin tissue concomitantly ,skin had a significantly lower tumor-in-normal presence (median VAF 5%, mean 8%, SD 8%;) than saliva (median 15%, mean 20%, SD 16%)(p < 0.0001). Conclusions: We found a prevalence of 14% pathogenic/ likely pathogenic GL mutations in cancer predisposition genes in this unique cohort of newly diagnosed older AML patients. This finding has potential clinical implications for patients and family members. We also found a large number of VUS in genes implicated in hematological malignancies. Additional studies linking candidate VUS' to familial predisposition to understand contribution to AML predisposition are needed. We are in the process of comparing the manual curation of ACMG classification of pathogenicity with a computational curation algorithm to assess the potential for automated classification of GL variants. Our study suggests the choice of source for germline DNA in patients with AML is variably impacted by leukemic contamination. Cultured skin fibroblasts are the current standard for tumor-normal paired genotyping, with the caveat of being labor intensive and not routinely performed in clinical diagnostic laboratories. This is a critical consideration for rapid GL screening of patients and family members with hematologic malignancies and suspected cancer predisposition.

Background: The prognosis for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients age >60 years is poor. Rapid pre-treatment identification of molecular disease subsets may allow specific targeting with novel agents, presenting an opportunity to improve outcomes. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS)-sponsored Beat AML master trial was initiated for previously untreated AML patients ≥60 years, with treatment assignment to a sub-study (S1, S2, etc.) based upon cytogenetics and dominant clone by next generation sequencing; patients with multiple mutations are assigned a sub-study according to variant allele frequency and a predetermined prioritization schema. Methods: Patients within two molecular subsets were selected for a phase 1b/2 dose escalation study (S2) of the Fc engineered (for increased binding to FcyRIIIa) CD33 antibody BI 836858 plus azacitidine (AZA). Group A was comprised of patients with mutations that drive hypermethylation, with potential for enhanced sensitivity to AZA: TET2/WT1 or IDH1/2 (for IDH1/2, if no specific targeting agent available). Group B was comprised of "marker-negative" AML (those not eligible for any available targeted sub-study). Both groups were pooled in the phase 1b portion reported herein. Patient eligibility included ECOG performance status < 3, no prior chemotherapy for AML or myelodysplastic syndrome, and preserved organ function. Patients received AZA (75 mg/m2) IV or SQ days 1-7 of 28 day cycles. BI 836858 was given weekly beginning day 9 (provided WBC < 10 x 109/L) and monthly once complete remission with or without sufficient blood count recovery (CR/CRi) was obtained. A standard 3 + 3 design for toxicity was used to guide dosing decisions, with consideration of dose level expansion based on toxicity and CD33 saturation. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined by select grade 3/4 toxicities during cycle 1, or failure to recover counts by day 56 in the setting of no residual AML. Results: At data cut off (April 30, 2018) 39 patients were enrolled; 31 were treated with the combination. Eight were not treated with BI 836858 due to failure to start any therapy (3), withdrawal (1), high white blood cell (WBC) count (2), adverse event (1), and early death (1). Median age of the 31 patients was 71 years (range 62-85); median WBC at study enrollment was 5.3 x 109/L (range 0.5-46.7) and platelets 52 x 109/L (range 10-681). Seventeen (55%) were in Group A (9 TET2, 1 with both TET2 and WT1, 3 IDH1, 4 IDH2). Among 27 with known cytogenetics, 16 (59%) were abnormal including 5 (19%) with complex karyotype. Of 31 patients, 8 were treated at 20 mg, 11 at 40 mg, 9 at 80 mg, and 3 at 160 mg. Six patients (3 at 80 mg and 3 at 160 mg) are currently in cycle 1 and have not fully been assessed for DLT or response. One patient had grade 4 decreased neutrophils in the absence of detectable AML at 20 mg and one had grade 3 portal hypertension at 40 mg, which were considered DLTs. Infusion reactions occurred in 5 BI 836858-treated patients, including 3 grade 3/4. Common grade 3/4 toxicities observed included: anemia (45%), febrile neutropenia (36%), hypophosphatemia (32%), hyponatremia (26%), and decreased platelet (42%), neutrophil (39%), and WBC count (36%). Pharmacokinetics of BI 836858 at dose levels 1-3 (20-80 mg) showed proportional increases by dose without trough accumulation at 4 weeks. Blast CD33 saturation by BI 836858 in the blood and bone marrow was not observed at dose levels 1-3. Pharmacodynamic studies of NK cells pre/post dose of BI 836858 demonstrated evidence of activation in a subset of patients. Among 28 eligible patients who received at least one dose of AZA, had adequate follow-up, and did not withdraw consent prior to response evaluation, there have been 5 CR/CRi (18%) and 4 morphologic leukemia free state (14%) responses, to date. Fifteen patients remain on treatment at data cut off. Reasons for discontinuing combination therapy include proceeding to allogeneic stem cell transplant (1), failure to respond (5), progression after response (4), adverse events (5), and patient withdrawal (1). Conclusions: This phase 1b sub-study of Beat AML demonstrates acceptable tolerability and activity of the combination of AZA with a novel CD33 glycoengineered antibody. Dose escalation as part of this sub-study continues, which will allow further assessment of efficacy and toxicity of this regimen in molecularly defined AML subsets.

A multitude of somatic genomic alterations contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite these important biologic insights, current therapeutic approaches to AML remain limited, particularly in adults ≥ 60. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)-led Beat AML trial was designed to assess whether a multi-center clinical trial could use genetic profiling to assign patients (pts) to molecularly defined, subtype-specific therapies within 7 days, and to delineate the role of new therapies in the first-line treatment of AML, with the goal of improving outcomes in older pts with AML through the use of mechanism based novel therapies. Pt eligibility included age ≥ 60 years with non-APML AML, no CNS leukemia, no prior hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy and no clinical need for emergent therapy. Eligible pts were profiled using local cytogenetics and next generation sequencing (NGS) assay (Foundation Medicine, Inc.) with all molecular data required for treatment assignment (TA) obtained ≤ 7 days. TA was made centrally using a prioritization schema incorporating cytogenetics [t(8;21], inv(16), MLL rearrangement, complex karyotype ≥ 3 abn) and somatic mutations present in a dominant AML clone with a variant allele frequency (VAF) >0.3. If no cytogenetic abnormality or mutation with VAF ≥ 0.3 was observed, VAF ≥ 0.2 was used for TA. The trial opened with 3 arms but currently has 11 treatment arms with 7 novel agents (NA) shown in Table 1. Treatment among different arms include either NA followed by combination of NA + HMA if no response, upfront combination of NA + HMA, or NA + intensive chemotherapy for select groups. Current treatment prioritization and TA based upon enrollment are shown in Table 2. Enrollment began November 2016 with a data cut off of April 30, 2018. At data cutoff, 268 pts have enrolled with a median age of 72 years (range: 60 to 92) and 38% being ≥ 75 years; 43% were female; median WBC was 4.8 x 109/L (range: 0.5 to 194.1) and WBC > 50 x 109/L in 9.3%; median Hgb was 8.4 g/dL (range: 3.9 to 15); median platelet count was 61 x 109/L (range: 7 to 649). Of the 268 patients, 210 had AML with TA. 53 pts were ineligible for enrollment, most commonly due to an alternative diagnosis, and 5 pts have a treatment decision pending. All pts had cytogenetic results available by 7 days. We achieved TA within 7 days in 106 of the 109 (97.2%) pts in the feasibility phase, and 200/210 (95.2%) of the overall cohort, meeting feasibility requirements. Of the 10 pts with delayed treatment assignment, 1 pt had suboptimal specimen quality whereas 9 pts had delayed TA due to technical (7/10) or instrumentation failure (2/10). All pts had cytogenetics available by 7 days. TA is shown in Table 2. These data confirm the feasibility of a precision medicine TA trial in newly diagnosed pts with AML. The Beat AML trial is dynamic by design, with different arms opening over time and all trial arms designed to detect for substantive clinical efficacy. As shown in Figure 1, of the 210 eligible AML pts enrolled, 7 pts (3.3%) died during the first 7 days prior to TA, 12 pts (5.7%) received alternative treatments prior to TA and 81 pts (38.6%) received an alternative treatment after TA. At time of analysis, weekly safety calls assessed that 23 pts went on an alternative clinical trial deemed better for them than Beat AML, and 40 pts received other standard-of-care therapies, 13 pts received palliative care and 5 pts were not specified. Special events of interest (disease worsening or progression) were assessed in 19 (9.0%) of pts. Of those going onto treatment, 110 pts (52.4%) received treatment on one of the Beat AML sub-studies. At time of abstract submission, one sub-study had completed phase 2 enrollment with positive results using monotherapy as measured by CR/CRi attainment (Study S3 with enasidenib +/- HMA: 43% CR/Cri rate) and is currently in expansion to further assess efficacy of this NA in newly diagnosed AML. Three additional studies have completed phase 1b dose escalation for combined NA + HMA therapy. An update including overall (for all enrolled pts) survival, sub-study-specific survival, and survival of patients receiving alternative treatment will be presented. Our data support the feasibility of a rapid precision medicine approach in older pts with previously untreated AML. The Beat AML trial is a model for dynamic, mechanism- based clinical trials in blood cancers where genomic analysis may inform, accelerate, and improve drug development.

The majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including nearly all patients older than age 60, present with multiple, sequentially acquired, somatic mutations. The 5-year overall survival (OS) for AML patients ≥ 60 with the current standard-of-care is less than 10 percent and the median OS in most genetically defined subtypes is < 1 year. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Beat AML Master Trial is a precision medicine trial for previously untreated AML pts age ≥ 60. Eligible patients are assigned to an interventional sub-study based upon an algorithm incorporating cytogenetic and mutational analysis, all within 7 days of enrollment. The primary objective of this phase 1B/II sub-study is to assess the efficacy of the oral IDH2 inhibitor enasidenib, as measured by overall response rate, in newly diagnosed AML patients, ≥ 60, with IDH2 mutant AML. Pt eligibility included ECOG performance status of 0-2, AST/ALT < 5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN, creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, cardiac ejection fraction of 40%, and no prior chemotherapy for AML or MDS. Exclusion criteria included symptomatic disseminated intravascular coagulation, leukostasis requiring urgent therapy, active hepatitis, or active second malignancy. Patients were treated with enasidenib 100 mg/day in continuous 28-day cycles. Azacitidine (75 mg/m2 days 1-7) was added to enasidenib for patients not achieving a complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) by cycle 5, or those with earlier progression as part of a delayed phase 1b study using a standard 3 + 3 design. At data cut off (April 30, 2018), 24 patients were consented to the trial and 23 received therapy. Of these, 18 (78%) had an IDH2 R140 and 5 (22%) had an IDH2 R172 mutation. The median age was 76 (range 62 -84) and 57% were female. Median WBC was 6.0 x 109/L (range .69-30.1), hemoglobin 8.2 g/dl (range 6.8-12.8) and platelets of 66 x 1012/L (range 6-517). 44% of patients had abnormal cytogenetics, including 17 % which were high risk according to CALGB criteria. Of the 23 patients enrolled, there were no deaths within the first 28 days of treatment. A total of 13 pts experienced one or more serious adverse events on enasidenib monotherapy, the most common being differentiation syndrome (n=4), sepsis (n=4), bleeding (n=3, 1 grade 5), elevated liver tests (n=3), and respiratory failure (n=2). Other common adverse events grade ≥3 occurring in 20% or more patients included fatigue, fever, edema, anorexia, low albumin, low electrolytes, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, insomnia and depression. For the 23 patients receiving enasidenib monotherapy, the median time on any treatment (including combination) is 138 days (min=43, max=312), and the median time on enasidenib monotherapy is 110 days (min=43, max=312). CR/CRi was achieved in 43% (7 CR/2CRi) of patients. Of the 6 pts with RAS or PTPN11 mutations, 1 responded. Reasons for discontinuing monotherapy include proceeding to allogeneic stem cell transplant after attaining CR (2), failure to respond to monotherapy (9), CR or CRi with discontinuation (2) or progression after CR/CRi (1). At the time of data cutoff, five pts have died. Five pts with inadequate response to monotherapy proceeded to the phase 1b portion of the study with enasidenib in combination with azacitidine. The combination was generally well tolerated with one DLT (nausea) and no other safety concerns. One patient attained a CRi and four pts have discontinued combined therapy without response. This trial demonstrates the significant clinical activity of enasidenib in previously untreated IDH2 mutated AML patients who do not choose to receive intensive chemotherapy. Enasidenib in this trial was associated with a low early death rate and an acceptable toxicity profile. These results justify further exploration of single agent enasidenib in newly diagnosed AML and of novel combination strategies building upon the efficacy of enasidenib in newly diagnosed AML patients ≥ 60.
