MultiOmic characteriZation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Evolving From myelopRoliferative Neoplasm to Identify New Targeted Therapeutic Strategies

Study Purpose

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are chronic myeloid malignancies characterized by a risk of evolution to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This unpredictable complication is associated with a grim outcome with median overall survival ranging between 2 to 10 months. To date, even allogeneic transplantation fails to significantly improve the prognosis. Biological and molecular mechanisms driving leukemic transformation are complex, ill-defined, and heterogeneous between patients. The investigator hypothesize that deciphering the molecular heterogeneity of post-MPN AML may lead identifying efficient drugs targeting of the most relevant leukemogenic pathways. Our main objective is to identify new targeted therapeutic approaches in post-MPN AML through in-depth characterization of the dysregulated pathways. The investigator will first characterize in an already annotated cohort of 120 post-MPN AML homogeneous patients subgroups using comprehensive multiomic analyses. Dysregulated pathways will be identified in each subgroup using the omics data and single-cell RNA-sequencing will be performed in a subset of patients in each subgroup. A customised drug-panel will be derived from the dysregulated pathway for an ex vivo drug screening, which will use a flow-cytometry read-out enabling to identity drug effect on cells survival, differentiation, and stemness. The 3 most promising drugs will be validated in a preclinical in vivo model of patient's derived xenograft (PDX) and their impact on clonal architecture will be studied in primary cell cultures using single-cell DNA-sequencing. Overall, this proposal may provide a better understanding of MPN leukemic transformation mechanisms and provide a path for personalized therapies. Our findings may therefore pave the way to drugs development in post-MPN AML that would provide a rationale for implementation of early clinical trials in these dreadful diseases.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06022341
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Patients samples and clinical data: The investigator will study samples from 120 patients with a post-MPN acute myeloid leukemia. These samples and the corresponding clinical data are available through FIMBANK, a national network of biological resources for myeloproliferative neoplasms (grant INCa, BCB 2013, Pr Valérie Ugo) and through the prospective phase II clinical trial CPX351-TA-SMP testing CPX351 monotherapy in post-MPN AML (NCT04992949, inclusions started in 01-2022). WP1: Deciphering the heterogeneity of post-MPN AML (primary objective) To answer these objectives, the investigator will conduct a multi-omics approach including targeted-NGS with a 400-genes panel, RNA-seq and methylome in a total of 120 post-MPN AML samples. All the genomic libraries will be constructed at the genomic facility of Angers University Hospital and the sequencing will be performed on a NovaSeq6000 in the GenoBIRD Platform in Nantes. Bioinformatic analysis will be performed by teams #1 and #3 and will derive for each sample: SNV/Indel and CNV from DNA sequencing, expression of mRNA and lncRNA, genes fusion and splicing events from RNA-seq, and methylation beta-values from methylome. In order to identify homogeneous subgroups from the genomic data, the investigator will perform unsupervised clustering analyses of each layer of genomic data. Then, all layers will be combined for integration of clusters using the Cluster Of Clusters Analysis (COCA) method (Wilkerson and Hayes, 2010). WP2: Identify the mechanisms of transformation and putative targets for therapy For this purpose, the investigator will analyze omics data generated in WP1 to identify the main molecular mechanisms driving the leukemic transformation of MPN. The investigator will perform a 2-step procedure: first by analyzing each genomic dataset separately and then, by analyzing all datasets together in an integrated multiblock analysis using the MOGSA method (Integrative Single Sample Gene-set). A total of 60 samples originating from a subset of patients classified in WP1 will be tested for ex vivo drug screening. The investigator will design a custom-made drug panel including standards of care, several drugs in clinical development in AML and, more importantly, a selection of drugs specifically targeting potential leukemic vulnerabilities identified. WP3: Confirm the efficacy of selected best drugs and their impact on clonal architecture To further validate the translational relevance of post-MPN AML deregulated pathways, the three most promising drug candidates will then be evaluated in a set of five post-MPN PDX models including at least 2 TP53-mutated post-MPN AML. The investigator will also evaluate how the drugs identified in WP2 may impact clonal evolution of the disease which is a key step towards understanding and improving the treatment of post-MPN AML. The 3 best candidate drugs or combinations identified in WP2 will be studied in cells from 5 selected patients with a complex molecular profile to evaluate the response of various subclones.

The drug screening will be performed on the 'NEXT-AML' platform at St-Louis Hospital, Paris. This platform uses a multiparametric screening strategy based on flow cytometry measurements of cell viability, cell differentiation and stem cell compartment. Primary patient cells will be cultured in a specific niche-like medium with amino-acids, cytokines and stromal cells (Dal Bello et al. 2022). Twenty-five drugs at 6 concentrations covering a 1000-fold concentration range will be studied for each sample.
