Outcomes of intensive and nonintensive blast-reduction strategies in accelerated and blast-phase MPN
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Transformation of BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) to an accelerated or blast phase is associated with poor outcomes. The efficacy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-type intensive and nonintensive hypomethylating agent-based regimens is not well studied. We therefore performed a retrospective analysis of patients with MPN-AP/BP (N = 138) treated with intensive (N = 81) and nonintensive (N = 57) blast-reduction strategies. We used clinically relatable response criteria developed at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The overall best response, comprising complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and reversion to chronic phase MPN (cMPN), in the intensive and nonintensive groups was 77% (62 of 81) and 39% (21 of 54), respectively. Similar overall best response rates were observed in patients receiving induction with daunorubicin combined with cytarabine arabinoside (daunorubicin + ara-C) (74% [23 of 31]) or FLAG-IDA/NOVE-HiDAC (78% [39 of 50], P = .78). However, patients receiving daunorubicin + ara-C more often required second inductions (29% [9 of 31] vs 4% [2 of 50], P = .002). Most responses in the entire cohort were reversions to cMPN (55 of 83 [66%]). CR and CRi comprised 30% (25 of 83) and 4% (3 of 83) of responses, respectively. Mutations in TP53 (overall response [OR] 8.2 [95% confidence interval [CI] 2.01, 37.1], P = .004) and RAS pathway (OR 5.1 [95%CI 1.2, 23.7], P = .03) were associated with inferior treatment response for intensively treated patients, and poorer performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) was associated with inferior treatment response in both intensively (OR 10.4 [95% CI 2.0, 78.5], P = .009) and nonintensively treated groups (OR 12 [95% CI 2.04, 230.3], P = .02). In patients with paired samples before and after therapy (N = 26), there was a significant residual mutation burden remaining irrespective of response to blast-reduction therapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
