Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Complications
Slide 2-

Objectives Define AML and recognize the different subtypes Recognize the common clinical presentation of a patient with AML Identify various prognostic factors in patients with AML Understand the different complications that are a result of the disease and of treatment Determine the therapy for these complications Briefly understand the principles of treatment
Slide 3-

Hematologic Malignancies Lymphoid Cell Line (B or T cells) ALL CLL Lymphoma Myeloma Myeloid Cell Line (granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes) CML Polycythemia Vera Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis with metaplasia Atypical chronic myeloid disorders AML
Slide 4-

Acute Myeloid Leukemia What is it? - Clonal expansion of myeloid precursor cells with reduced capacity to differentiate - As opposed to ALL/CLL, it is limited to the myeloid cell line differentiated from ALL based on morphology, cytogenetics, cytochemical analysis, cell surface markers
Slide 5-

Myelopoiesis Myeloid Progenitor cell → Myeloblast → Promyelocyte → Myelocyte → Metamyelocyte → Band → Granulocyte Myeloid Progenitor cell → Myeloblast → Monoblast → Promonocyte → Monocyte Myeloid Progenitor cell → Proerythroblast Myeloid Progenitor cell → Megakaryoblast
Slide 6-

Epidemiology Incidence – 2.7 per 100,000 12.6 per 100,000 in those over 65 yo median age of presentation : 65 yo More prevalent: Males European descent Hispanic/Latino background (promyelocytic leukemia (AML M3))
Slide 7-

Epidemiology Increased incidence Genetic fragility Bloom syndrome Faconi anemia Wiskott Aldrich Down, Klinefelter, Patau syndromes tobacco use? herbicides?, pesticides? benzene exposure XRT Topoisomerase II inhibitors (e.g etopisode), alkylating agents MDS other cell proliferation disorders CML, polycythemia vera, primary thrombocytosis, PNH
Slide 8-

Clinical symptoms Due to the excessive proliferation of myeloid precursor cells in bone marrow, certain symptoms/lab findings are expected (e.g. as a result of pancytopenia) Functional neutropenia – fever, chills (INFECTION) Thrombocytopenia – bleeding, bruising Anemia – weakness, fatigue
Slide 9-

Clinical symptoms Other findings bone pain (sternum, lower extremities) – infrequent but thought to be secondary to expansion of medullary cavity
Slide 10-

Physical Findings Gingival involvement (especially in the monocytic variants (M4 or M5)) Rare hepatosplenomegaly or LAD Pallor, petechiae, ecchymoses Bone tenderness Retinal hemorrhage CNS infiltration (more common in M4 and M5) Skin, soft tissue infiltration

Clinical symptoms/Physical Findings Extramedullary disease (ie, myeloid sarcoma) Can also have involvement of lymph nodes, intestine, mediastinum, ovaries, uterus
Slide 13-

Diagnosis Previously >30% blasts on BM aspirate (per FAB criteria) Recently changed to > 20% blasts on BM aspirate (per WHO criteria) patients with certain cytogenic abnormalities are considered to have AML regardless of blast percentage t(8;21)(q22;q22), inversion (16)(p13q22) t(16;16)(p13;q22), and t(15;17)(q22;q12)
Slide 14-

FAB Classification of AML M0 undifferentiated acute myeloblastic leukemia (5%) M1 AML with minimal maturation (20%) M2 AML with maturation (30%) – t(8;21) M3 Acute promyelocytic leukemia (5%) t(15;17) M4 Acute myelomonocytic leukemia (20%) M4 eos Acute myelomonocytic leukemia with eosinophilia (5%) inv (16) M5 Acute monocytic leukemia (10%) t(9;11) M6 Acute erythroid leukemia (3%) M7 Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (3%)

Case #1 52 yo M no significant PMHx presents with general malaise for several days, headache and shortness of breath. Exam reveals palor and scattered petechiae. Found to have 95,000 WBC with HCT of 22 and platelet count of 22,000. Chem panel unremarkable. Treatment of this condition would involve: Induction chemotx with anthracycline/cytarabine Leukapheresis Transfusion of platelets, PRBCs followed by leukapheresis Running throughout the hospital yelling as loudly as possible
Slide 21-

Leukostasis Leukostasis – predominantly in those with WBC counts > 100,000 (10% of patients); can also be seen in patients with WBC > 50,000 Most common in those with M4 or M5 leukemia Function of the blast cells being less deformable than mature myeloid cells. As a result, intravascular plugs develop. High metabolic activity of blast cells and local production of various cytokines contribute to underlying hypoxia

Slide 23-

Leukostasis Common symptoms Pulmonary: dyspnea, chest pain CNS: headaches, altered mentation, CN palsies, ocular symptoms Priapism Myocardial Infarction
Slide 24-

Leukostasis Treatment Chemotherapy with induction agents (e.g cytarabine, anthracycline) or with high dose hydroxyurea Consider low dose cranial irradiation to prevent cell proliferation in the CNS (can see intracranial hemorrhage in patients with leukostasis) Avoid PRBC transfusion if possible as additional blood elements contribute to the hyperviscosity In patients that are unable to undergo immediate chemotx (e.g renal insufficiency, metabolic derangements, etc), leukapheresis is a 2nd option
Slide 25-

Leukostasis Leukapheresis Limited affect on established vascular plugs Limited benefit in those with underlying pulmonary symptoms following chemotx. Symptoms in this case related to leukocyte lysis and subsequent inflammatory response Should not be used as a single modality agent in patients with leukostasis (unless chemotx is delayed) May consider as adjunct to chemotx in patients with WBC >100,000 and symptoms suggestive of leukostasis
Slide 26-

Leukapheresis Bug G et al (2007) - Retrospective study from Germany of 53 newly diagnosed cases of AML and hyperleukocytosis. Cohort A – Chemotx without leukoreduction (28 patients). Cohort B – Chemotx followed by leukapheresis (25 patients). By day 21 -> 13 of 53 patients had died with a lower risk of early death in Cohort B compared to Cohort A (16% vs. 32% respectively; p = 0.015). Dyspnea (p = 0.005), elevated creatinine (p = 0.028), and higher lactate dehydrogenase serum levels (p = 0.021) were independent risk factors for early death. At a median follow-up of 24.2 months, the overall survival was similar in both cohorts (Cohort A, 7.5; Cohort B, 6.5 months). (eg, Leukapheresis had no impact on long term survival)
Slide 27-

Leukapheresis Giles et al (2001) - 146 patients with newly-diagnosed AML (APL excluded) and an initial WBC count > 50 x 10(9)/L of whom 71 underwent leukapheresis. Pheresis reduced 2-week mortality rate (p = .006) No evidence that pheresis lengthened longer-term or overall survival; actually data to suggest the opposite (p = .06)
Slide 28-

Case #2 72 yo F initiating chemotx with intermediate dose cytarabine. Develops progressive nausea and lethargy with generalized muscle cramps. An ECG is obtained. What diagnosis is concerning?
Slide 29-

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Characterized by metabolic derangements caused by massive release of cellular components following lysis of malignant cells Commonly seen in malignancies with high rates of cell proliferation (esp. ALL, Burkitt’s lymphoma); also can be seen with AML
Slide 30-

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Tumor lysis syndrome - hyperphosphatemia, hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia and uremia Retrospective study of 788 patients (433 adults) found incidence of hyperuricemia and TLS to be 14.7%/3.4% in patients with AML compared to 21.4%/5.2% in patients with ALL and 19.6%/6.1% in patients with NHL Electrolyte abnormalities can occur without the entire spectrum of TLS or even before tx is initiated Hyperuricemia Lactic acidosis
Slide 31-

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Release of intracellular proteins →catobilized to hypoxanthine → xanthine → uric acid → Crystalization of uric acid and in renal tubules → impaired renal function Release of phosphate from malignant cells → calcium phosphate precipitation and further renal impairment along with hypocalcemia and resultant symptoms from ↓Ca Hyperphosphatemia: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, lethargy Hypocalcemia: arrhythmia, hypotension, tetany, cramps Hyperkalemia: arrhythmia, cramps, paresthesia
Slide 32-

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Prevention and management IV hydration : promotes excretion of uric acid and phosphate; improves renal blood flow/GFR Allopurinol → competitive inhibitor for xanthine oxidase. Therefore, ↓ conversion of purine metabolites to uric acid However, must consider buildup of xanthine crystals → acute obstructive uropathy (HYDRATE!!!) Recominant urate oxidase (rasburicase) Promotes conversion of uric acid to allantoin (highly soluble; urinary excretion) Indicated in patients at high risk of TLS (Burkitt’s Lymphoma, B-ALL, ALL (WBC >100,000), AML (WBC >50,000) Also indicated in patients that develop hyperuricemia despite allopurinol Dialysis can be used in severe cases Urine alkalization is NOT recommended – does not increase solubility of xanthine/hypoxanthine with an increased propensity to develop xanthine-obstructive uropathies (esp with allopurinol use)

Slide 37-

DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) Seen in AML M3 (promyelocytic) Function of primary granules of promyelocytes → granules contain a thromboplastin-like substance (initiates extrinsic coagulation pathway) and a factor X and Xa activator Initiation of coagulation cascade → widespread thrombin and fibrin deposition throughout vasculature → microangiopathic vasculopathy and inability of liver/bone marrow to sustain coagulant/platelet levels → multi-organ damage with thrombocytopenia and elevated PT/PTT Excessive production of plasmin as well → breakdown of fibrin/fibrinogen to FDPs
Slide 38-

Coagulation cascade en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_factor
Slide 39-

DIC Common symptoms/findings in addition to weakness (anemia), infections/fever (malfunctioning WBCs) petechiae, ecchymoses, hematuria, bleeding from venipuncture sites migratory thrombophlebitis (Trousseau’s syndrome) nonbacterial thrombotic (marantic) endocarditis DVT/PE Lab findings Prolonged PT/INR, PTT microangiopathic anemia (schistocytes) thrombocytopenia elevated fibrin split products elevated D-dimer low fibrinogen
Slide 40-

DIC Treatment Supportive therapy Platelets Cryoprecipitate (fibrinogen) FFP Treatment for obvious thrombosis (e.g thrombophlebitis, mural thrombus) UFH or LMWH; often resistant to coumadin activated protein C Treatment of underlying malignancy In the case of AML M3 → All-Trans Retinoic Acid (PML-RARα) Induces differentiation beyond promyelocyte phase Only with the more common t(15;17) translocation; t(11;17) and t(5;17) do not respond to ATRA Remission rates of greater than 90% with AML M3 patient treated with ATRA and chemotx (eg, anthracyclines (idarubicin)) with 60-70% disease free survival Arsenic trioxide in those that relapse – achieves complete remission in >90%
Slide 41-

Treatment of DIC Randomized prospective double-blind trial (2002) from Japan comparing activated protein C and unfractionated heparin for the treatment of DIC. 132 patients with 63 receiving APC and 69 receiving UFH. The effects on DIC-related organ dysfunction were not significantly different between the 2 groups. No significant difference in the rate of complete recovery from DIC between the 2 groups. The rate of death from any cause within 28 days after treatment was 20.4% in the APC group, significantly lower than the 40% death rate observed in the heparin group (P < .05).
Slide 42-

DIC Side effects of ATRA therapy Headache, bone pain, hypertriglyceridemia, dried mucous membranes and skin Retinoic Acid Syndrome (occur <20% of those tx with ATRA) thought to be caused by cytokine release and/or rapid release of M3 promyelocytes from bone marrow following ATRA therapy fever, respiratory distress, hypotension, pleural and pericardial effusions, LE edema, occasional renal failure highly elevated WBC count = higher risk prevent by tx with chemotx (eg, cytarabine) at same time; also dexamethasone
Slide 43-

CNS Involvement Occurs in less than 5% of AML patients (highest incidence in relapsed promyelocytic (M3) variant) Routine LP is not performed unless symptoms suggestive of CNS pathology Common symptoms headache mental status changes CN palsies (commonly CN III or VI) CSF findings blast cells moderate increase in protein and moderate decrease in glucose
Slide 44-

CNS Involvement Treatment Intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate or cytarabine) +/- whole brain XRT addition of XRT depends on response to intrathecal chemotx and whether there is cranial nerve involvement high relapse rate Commonly administer prophylactic intrathecal chemotx in relapsed promyelocytic disease
Slide 45-

Ocular Involvement Seen in over 60% of newly diagnosed AML patients Commonly choroid and retina (hemorrhage, cotton wool spots) Can also involve conjunctiva and lacrimal glands Treatment with common induction chemotherapeutic agents and with platelet transfusions as needed
Slide 46-

Other Complications Necrotizing enterocolitis – usually at time of neutrophil nadir post chemotx Joint involvement – in setting of leukemic blast synovial membrane infiltration <4% of those with AML
Slide 47-

Treatment of AML Goal for complete remission platelet count greater than 100 neutrophil count greater than 1000 BM with 5% or less blasts Molecular complete remission : no evidence of leukemic cells in BM even with sensitive tests (eg, PCR, flow cytometry) If in complete remission for >3 yrs without relapse → potentially cured (<10% chance of relapse)
Slide 48-

Treatment Assess need for emergent therapy APL with blast > 50,000 and evidence of DIC leukemic crisis with organ dysfunction (pulmonary, CNS) – seen most often with M4 or M5 variant
Slide 49-

Prognostic Factors in AML Favorable younger age (<50) WBC <30,000 t(8;21) – seen in >50% with AML M2 inv(16) – seen in AML M4 eos t(15;17) – seen in >80% AML M3 Unfavorable older age (>60) Poor performance status WBC >100,000 Elevated LDH prior MDS or hematogic malignancy CD34 positive phenotype, MRD1 postive phenotype del (5), del (7) trisomy 8 t(6;9), t(9;22) t(9;11) – seen in AML M5 FLT3 gene mutation (seen in 30% of patients)
Slide 50-

Treatment Remission induction therapy Commonly anthracycline (ie, daunorubicin, idarubicin) and cytarabine → (“3+7 regimen”) Cytarabine has ample CNS penetration so no need for prophylactic intrathecal chemotx (also, ↓ risk in patients with AML compared to ALL) 60-80% achieve complete remission Postremission therapy Consolidation longer survival than maintence alone typically high dose cytarabine Maintenance – continue chemotx monthly for 4-12 months nonmyelosuppressive doses
Slide 51-

Treatment Increasingly, hematopoietic cell transplantation is used in patients with AML after 1st remission in those with poor/intermediate prognostic factors. Also allogenic/autologous transplant in those with relapse or 2nd remission autologous with higher relapse rates. Used in those without HLA matched donor

Slide 54-

Treatment Standard therapy → remission rates of 60-80% with median remission durations of 1 yr less than 20% achieve long-term remission free survival Therapy is altered in older individuals (esp. those with poor performance status) AML believed to be a clinically/biologically distinct entity in older individuals → remission rates of 45% in those > 60 yo with less than 10% long-term remission free survival low dose cytarabine +/- hydroxyurea investigational therapy palliative care

Slide 56-

Treatment in Refractory or Relapsed AML Most important predictive factor for outcome in relapsed/refractory AML = duration of 1st remission Relapse is defined by >5% blasts in bone marrow Salvage therapy produces remission rates of 40-60% in pts with remission rates >1 yr, but only 10-15% in those with shorter remission Allogenic transplant appears superior to cytarabine based chemotx in those with remission <1 yr Gentuzumab (anti-CD33 Ab linked to antitumor antibiotic calicheamicin) – only approved tx for relapsed AML in pts >60 yo with remission > 3 months
Slide 57-

Treatment Supportive care G-CSF platelet transfusions PRBCs (leukodepleted, irradiated) Prophylactic antibiotics fluconazole (candidiasis) acyclovir (HSV, VZV)
