To analyze the clinical features, efficacy and prognosis factors of core binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) children in South China. This was a retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 584 AML patients from 9 hospitals between January 2015 to December 2020 was collected. According to fusion gene results, all patients were divided into two groups: CBF-AML group (189 cases) and non-CBF-AML group (395 cases). CBF-AML group were divided into AML1-ETO subgroup (154 cases) and CBFβ-MYH11 subgroup (35 cases). Patients in CBF-AML group chosen different induction scheme were divided into group A (fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony stimulating factor and idarubicin (FLAG-IDA) scheme, 134 cases) and group B (daunorubicin, cytarabine and etoposide (DAE) scheme, 55 cases). Age, gender, response rate, recurrence rate, mortality, molecular genetic characteristics and other clinical data were compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and survival curve was drawn. Cox regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors. A total of 584 AML children were diagnosed, including 346 males and 238 females. And a total of 189 children with CBF-AML were included, including 117 males and 72 females. The age of diagnosis was 7.3 (4.5,10.0)years, and the white blood cell count at initial diagnosis was 21.4 (9.7, 47.7)×10/L.The complete remission rate of the first course (CR1) of induction therapy, relapse rate, and mortality of children with CBF-AML were significantly different from those in the non-CBF-AML group (91.0% (172/189) 78.0% (308/395); 10.1% (19/189) 18.7% (74/395); 13.2% (25/189) 25.6% (101/395), all <0.05). In children with CBF-AML, the CBFβ-MYH11 subgroup had higher initial white blood cells and lower proportion of extramedullary invasion than the AML1-ETO subgroup, with statistical significance (65.7% (23/35) 14.9% (23/154), 2.9% (1/35) 16.9% (26/154), both <0.05). AML1-ETO subgroup had more additional chromosome abnormalities (75/154), especially sex chromosome loss (53/154). Compared with group B, group A had more additional chromosome abnormalities and a higher proportion of tumor reduction regimen, with statistical significance (50.0% (67/134) 29.1% (16/55), 34.3% (46/134) 18.2% (10/55), both 0.05). Significant differences were found in 5-years event free survival (EFS) rate and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate between CBF-AML group and non-CBF-AML group ((77.0±6.4)% (61.9±6.7)%,(83.7±9.0)% (67.3±7.2)%, both <0.05).EFS and OS rates of AML1-ETO subgroup and CBFβ-MYH11 subgroup in children with CBF-AML were not significantly different (both >0.05). Multivariate analysis showed in the AML1-ETO subgroup, CR1 rate and high white blood cell count (≥50×10/L) were independent risk factors for EFS (=0.24, 95% 0.07-0.85,=1.01, 95% 1.00-1.02, both <0.05) and OS (=0.24, 95% 0.06-0.87; =1.01, 95% 1.00-1.02; both <0.05). In CBF-AML, AML1-ETO is more common which has a higher extramedullary involvement and additional chromosome abnormalities, especially sex chromosome loss. The prognosis of AML1-ETO was similar to that of CBFβ-MYH11. The selection of induction regimen group FLAG-IDA for high white blood cell count and additional chromosome abnormality can improve the prognosis.
分析中国南方核心结合因子(CBF)急性髓系白血病(AML)患儿的临床特征、疗效及预后因素。这是一项回顾性队列研究。收集了2015年1月至2020年12月期间9家医院584例AML患者的临床资料。根据融合基因结果,将所有患者分为两组:CBF-AML组(189例)和非CBF-AML组(395例)。CBF-AML组又分为AML1-ETO亚组(154例)和CBFβ-MYH11亚组(35例)。将选择不同诱导方案的CBF-AML组患者分为A组(氟达拉滨、阿糖胞苷、粒细胞集落刺激因子和伊达比星(FLAG-IDA)方案,134例)和B组(柔红霉素、阿糖胞苷和依托泊苷(DAE)方案,55例)。比较两组患者的年龄、性别、缓解率、复发率、死亡率、分子遗传学特征及其他临床资料。采用Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析并绘制生存曲线。采用Cox回归模型分析预后因素。共诊断出584例AML患儿,其中男性346例,女性238例。共纳入189例CBF-AML患儿,其中男性117例,女性72例。诊断年龄为7.3(4.5,10.0)岁,初诊时白细胞计数为21.4(9.7,47.7)×10⁹/L。CBF-AML患儿诱导治疗第1疗程完全缓解率(CR1)、复发率和死亡率与非CBF-AML组有显著差异(91.0%(172/189)对78.0%(308/395);10.1%(19/189)对18.7%(74/395);13.2%(25/189)对25.6%(101/395),均<0.05)。在CBF-AML患儿中,CBFβ-MYH11亚组初诊时白细胞较高,髓外浸润比例低于AML1-ETO亚组,差异有统计学意义(65.7%(23/35)对14.9%(23/154),2.9%(1/35)对16.9%(26/154),均<0.05)。AML1-ETO亚组有更多额外染色体异常(75/154),尤其是性染色体缺失(53/154)。与B组相比,A组有更多额外染色体异常,肿瘤减量方案比例更高,差异有统计学意义(50.0%(67/134)对29.1%(16/55),34.3%(46/134)对18.2%(10/55),均<0.05)。CBF-AML组与非CBF-AML组5年无事件生存率(EFS)和5年总生存率(OS)有显著差异((77.0±6.4)%对(61.9±6.7)%,(83.7±9.0)%对(67.3±7.2)%,均<0.05)。CBF-AML患儿中AML1-ETO亚组和CBFβ-MYH11亚组的EFS和OS率无显著差异(均>0.05)。多因素分析显示,在AML1-ETO亚组中,CR1率和高白细胞计数(≥50×10⁹/L)是EFS(P=0.24,95%CI 0.07-0.85;P=1.01,95%CI 1.00-1.02,均<0.05)和OS(P=0.24,95%CI 0.06-0.87;P=1.01,95%CI 1.00-1.02;均<0.05)独立危险因素。在CBF-AML中,AML1-ETO更常见,髓外浸润和额外染色体异常更多,尤其是性染色体缺失。AML1-ETO的预后与CBFβ-MYH11相似。对于高白细胞计数和有额外染色体异常的患者选择FLAG-IDA诱导方案可改善预后。
