Abstract

Results after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for TP53-mutated myeloid malignancies are disappointing. Several HSCT centers decline to perform HSCT for patients with TP53 mutation because of poor outcomes. In this study, we analyzed 240 patients with TP53-mutated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent HSCT. We aimed to identify the patients who benefit most from HSCT. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Of the cohort, 52% had AML and the median age was 62 years. AML and MDS outcomes were similar. We identified several favorable prognostic factors for PFS, including absence of complex cytogenetics/5q deletion/7q deletion, a lower variant allele frequency (VAF), a monohit status, and use of a matched-related donor. Using classification and regression tree analysis, we identified VAF and cytogenetics as the 2 most important prognostic factors. Patients with TP53mut VAF ≥ 50% had a 2-year PFS of 3%, and patients with TP53mut VAF < 50% and complex/5q/7q cytogenetic abnormalities had 2-year PFS of 22%. Patients with TP53mut VAF < 50% and without complex/5q/7q cytogenetics had 2-year PFS of 60%. These data inform clinical practice and help patients decide whether to pursue HSCT.

  • In that cohort, 2-year PFS was 3% for patients with VAF ≥ 50%; 22% for VAF < 50% + CK [±5/7 abnormalities]; 60% if VAF < 50% and absence of CK.

    “(3% for patients with VAF ≥ 50%; 22% for VAF < 50% + CK [±5/7 abnormalities]; 60% if VAF < 50% and absence of CK).”

    The Results (HSCT outcomes) report the stated 2-year PFS values of 3%, 22%, and 60%. The cytogenetic groups are less accurately described: the 22% group had complex cytogenetics OR 5q/7q abnormalities, while the 60% group had neither complex cytogenetics NOR 5q/7q abnormalities. Absence of complex karyotype alone does not define the 60% group. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • A recent large cohort of 240 patients identified cytogenetic complexity and VAF as the strongest predictive factors of 2-year PFS.

    “a recent large cohort of 240 patients identified both cytogenetic complexity and VAF to be the strongest predictive factors of 2‐year PFS”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
