Impact of TP53 on outcome of patients with myelofibrosis undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

TP53 mutations (TP53MTs) have been associated with poor outcomes in various hematologic malignancies, but no data exist regarding its role in patients with myelofibrosis undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here, we took advantage of a large international multicenter cohort to evaluate the role of TP53MT in this setting. Among 349 included patients, 49 (13%) had detectable TP53MT, of whom 30 showed a multihit configuration. Median variant allele frequency was 20.3%. Cytogenetic risk was favorable (71%), unfavorable (23%), and very high (6%), with complex karyotype present in 36 patients (10%). Median survival of patients with TP53MT was 1.5 vs 13.5 years for those with wild-type TP53 (TP53WT; P < .001). Outcome was driven by multihit TP53MT constellation (P < .001), showing 6-year survival of 56% for individuals with single-hit vs 25% for those with multihit TP53MT vs 64% for those with TP53WT. Outcome was independent of current transplantation-specific risk factors and conditioning intensity. Similarly, cumulative incidence of relapse was 17% for single-hit vs 52% for multihit vs 21% for TP53WT. Ten patients with TP53MT (20%) presented as leukemic transformation vs only 7 (2%) in the TP53WT group (P < .001). Out of the 10 patients with TP53MT, 8 showed multihit constellation. Median time to leukemic transformation was shorter for multihit and single-hit TP53MT (0.7 and 0.5 years, respectively) vs 2.5 years for TP53WT. In summary, multihit TP53MT represents a very high-risk group in patients with myelofibrosis who are undergoing HSCT, whereas single-hit TP53MT alone showed similar outcome to patients with nonmutated TP53, informing prognostication for survival and relapse together with current transplantation-specific tools.
