HOT QUESTIONS ü Which Biomarkers in ALL? ü Will NGS be the future standard for MRD? ü Which are the most promising new drugs in ALL? ü What about allo-sct in Ph ALL?
Definition of biomarker? A feature that reflects a biologic process that is predictive for: v Susceptibility to develop leukemia Tutti nel gruppo concordano che un Biomarker deve v Diagnosis of the disease essere utile per la diagnosi, la stratificazione prognostica v Subtype of a e, disease ove possibile, la valutazione della Risposta e della MRM. v Recurrence of the disease v Response to a given treatment in an invidual patients den Boer ML, EHA 2013, Educational Program
Biomarkers nella pratica Ø Ph+ Ø IKZF1 Ø MRD NGS
IKZF1 DELETION STATUS DISCRIMINATES FOR OUTCOME IN IMATINIB TREATED BCR-ABL1-POSITIVE CHILDHOOD ALL v The BCR-ABL1-translocation predicts for an unfavorable outcome in ALL, at least in pre-tki era v BCR-ABL1-positive ALL is characterized by a high frequency (70%) of IKZF1 deletions. v IKZF1 deletions are correlated to an unfavorable outcome in BCR- ABL1-negative ALL. Ven der Veer et al., EHA 2013, Abst S1123
Ven der Veer et al., EHA 2013, Abst S1123
v This is the first study demonstrating that IKZF1 deletions are correlated to a poor outcome in a relative large cohort of childhood BCR-ABL1-positive ALL. v IKZF1-deleted patients need a more intensified or alternative therapy. v Since IKZF1 wild-type BCR-ABL1-positive patients treated with Imatinib have a good outcome comparable to BCR-ABL1-negative ALL, the absence of an IKZF1 deletion may be used as marker to exclude HSCT.

NSG Comparison of MRD results obtained by sequencing, FC, and ASO-PCR. Malnassy et al, et al. EHA 2013, Abst S537
In at least one patient, the relative frequencies of the 3 clonal sequences changed dramatically over the disease course
NSG method enables MRD detection without the need for development of patient-specific reagents v Concordance data between sequencing and ASOPCR are high Malnassy et al. EHA 2013 Tutti riconoscono il prezioso contributo di questa tecnologia e auspicano che in tempi brevi possa essere Introdotta nella pratica clinica.. Faham M et al, Blood 2012

WEEKLY INOTUZUMAB OZOGAMICIN (INO) IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED OR REFRACTORY CD22- POSITIVE ALL De Angelo et al, EHA 2013, Abst S1125
INO had a tolerable safety profile consistent with prior reports, primarily characterized by hematologic, gastrointestinal, and hepatic AEs. Single-agent INO demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in this relapsed/refractory population; Preliminary efficacy results appear dynamically related to exposure and circulating blasts.
