Making Sense of Novel Prognostics: NOTCH1, SF3B1 Jennifer R Brown, MD PhD Director, CLL Center Dana-Farber Cancer Institute October 24, 2014
What is High Risk CLL? Historically defined solely by clinical features: –Stage, lymphocyte doubling time, 2m –Therapy resistance Biologic prognostic factors are increasingly important: IGHV, FISH, somatic mutation profile

Summary SF3B1 mutation: associated with 11q deletion, UM IGHV, and shorter TTFT and PFS, ?OS NOTCH1 mutation: associated with trisomy 12, UM IGHV, shorter TTFT and Richter’s transformation –? No benefit of anti-CD20 antibody Genomic complexity is adverse but requires further analysis in large trials
Summary Deletion of 17p or TP53 mutation predict highest risk CLL, followed by 11q deletion (NOTCH1, SF3B1) and Unmutated IGHV –Early data suggest high response but shorter PFS with 17p or 11q deletion even with BCR pathway inhibitors –No good data with BCR inhibitors for NOTCH1, SF3B1 AlloSCT may overcome poor prognosis of these somatic mutations
What is Actionable? 17p / TP53: prognosis; therapy selection (TP53 independent: BCR, ?SCT) 11q: prognosis; FC-based CIT Mutated IGHV (esp trisomy 12): FCR SF3B1, NOTCH1, BIRC3: prognosis
