Mutations of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (CEBPA) gene have been associated with a favorable outcome in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but mainly in those with a normal karyotype. Here, we analyzed the impact of associated cytogenetic abnormalities or bad-prognosis fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) in 53 patients with CEBPA(+) de novo AML treated in the Acute Leukemia French Association trials. We found that only those with a normal karyotype and no FLT3-ITD displayed the expected favorable outcome. In this context, relapse-free, disease-free, and overall survival were significantly longer than in corresponding patients without the CEBPA mutation (P = .035, .016, and .047, respectively). This was not observed in the context of an abnormal karyotype or associated FLT3-ITD. Furthermore, after adjustment on age, trial, and mutation type, these features were independently predictive of shorter overall survival in the subset of patients with CEBPA(+) AML (multivariate hazard ratio = 2.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-6.7; and 2.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-8.2; with P = .034 and .05, for abnormal karyotype and FLT3-ITD, respectively).
