This study retrospectively evaluated 88 AML patients who underwent either Allo-HSCT or Auto-HSCT, revealing a significant association between D816V KIT mutation and post-transplant relapse, as well as the predictive value of CBFB-MYH11 MRD assessments for post-transplant outcomes.
Given the controversies in the prognostic value of KIT mutations and optimal thresholds and time points of MRD monitoring for AML with CBFB-MYH11, we retrospectively evaluated 88 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT, n = 60) or autologous HSCT (Auto-HSCT, n = 28). The D816V KIT mutation was significantly associated with post-transplant relapse, contrasting with other types of mutations in KIT. Pre- and post-transplant (3 months after transplant) CBFB-MYH11 MRD assessments were useful in predicting post-transplant relapse and poor survival. The optimal threshold was determined as a 2 log reduction at both time points. In multivariate analysis, the D816V KIT mutation and CBFB-MYH11 MRD assessments were independently associated with post-transplant relapse and survival. Stratification by D816V KIT and pre-transplant CBFB-MYH11 MRD status further distinguished the risk of relapse and survival. Auto-HSCT was superior to Allo-HSCT in MRD negative patients without D816V KIT, while Allo-HSCT trended to be superior to Auto-HSCT in patients with MRD positivity or the D816V KIT mutation. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the differentiated prognostic value of the D816V KIT mutation in AML with CBFB-MYH11 and clarified optimal time points and thresholds for CBFB-MYH11 MRD monitoring in the setting of HSCT.
