FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutationsClinical significance
• FLT3-internal tandem duplication is an indicator of poor outcome in AML.Kottaridis et al. Blood 2001, 1752-1759.
• NPM1mut is associated with improved outcome. Falini B et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:254–266.
• NPM1mut together with FLT3-ITD is not associated with improved outcome.Thiede et al. Blood 2006, 4011-4020.
• Analyses to date have been performed in younger patient populations and have not taken treatment into account.
Aim of study
• Evaluate FLT3-ITD as a prognostic factor in a homogenous group of elderly patients (>60 years) treated with one protocol
• Evaluate NPM1mut alone and in combination with FLT3-ITD as a prognostic factor for OS, EFS and relapse incidence
• Evaluate the role of FLT3-ITD and NPM1mut on outcome following chemotherapy and SCT
