Abstract:	In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) internal tandem duplications of the FLT3 gene (FLT3- ITD) are associated with poor prognosis. Retrospectively, we investigated the prognostic and predictive impact of FLT3 -ITD insertion site (IS) in 452 patients randomized within the RATIFY trial, which evaluated midostaurin additionally to intensive chemotherapy. Next-generation sequencing identified 908 ITDs, with 643 IS in the juxtamembrane domain (JMD) and 265 IS in the tyrosine kinase domain-1 (TKD1). According to IS, patients were categorized as JMDsole (n = 251, 55%), JMD and TKD1 (JMD/TKD1; n = 117, 26%), and TKD1sole (n = 84, 19%). While clinical variables did not differ among the 3 groups, NPM1 mutation was correlated with JMDsole (P = 0. 028). Overall survival (OS) differed significantly, with estimated 4-year OS probabilities of 0. 44, 0. 50, and 0. 30 for JMDsole, JMD/TKD1, and TKD1sole, respectively (P = 0. 032). Multivariate (cause-specific) Cox models for OS and cumulative incidence of relapse using allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in first complete remission as a time-dependent variable identified TKD1sole as unfavorable and HCT as favorable factors. In addition, Midostaurin exerted a significant benefit only for JMDsole. Our results confirm the distinct molecular heterogeneity of FLT3 -ITD and the negative prognostic impact of TKD1 IS in AML that was not overcome by midostaurin.
