Biological Prognostic Markers

  • FISH Cytogenetics
  • IGHV Mutation Status
  • Zap-70 Status
  • CD-38 Status

FISH

FISH Cytogenetics enable us to divide CLL patients into three risk categories:

RISK CATEGORIES Low Intermediate High BY FISH Del 13q, None detectable Trisomy 12 Del 11q, Del 17p

IGHV

IgHV gene mutation testing yields two broad categories of risk Low Risk Mutated (>2%) High Risk Unmutated

CD-38

CD 38 Co-Expression on CLL lymphocytes yields two broad categories of risk: Low Risk CD38 Negative High Risk CD38 Positive

Zap-70

ZAP-70 expression testing on CLL lymphocytes yields two broad categories

  • f risk:

Low Risk ZAP-70 Negative High Risk ZAP-70 Postiive

Rassenti Conclusions

Three prognostic markers analyzed Multivariate analysis: ZAP-70 was the strongest including in early stage, asymptomatic disease, mutation status and CD38 did not improve predictive power of ZAP-70 negative patients for time to first treatment.

Binet Stage A patients N=329:At 4 yrs (med f/u) 37% required tx. Unfavorable FISH: 9% CD38 Positive: 13 to 38% ZAP-70 Positive: 21% Multivariate: Only mutation status was independent predictor of Treatment-Free-Interval (TFI)

Late Stage CLL Patients

  • Usually have one or the other bad

prognostic markers:

– Unmut/ZAP/38/11q-, 17p- and/or High Beta-2, Short LDT, Symptoms

  • There is no dispute here in making

sense of the new markers.

But did new markers add anything?

Early-Stage CLL Patients

  • Have about 40% likelihood of discordant

(new) markers:

– FISH/Mut/ZAP/38/Symptoms/LDT

  • The question, when treating these patients

is “How to make sense of prognostic markers?” This becomes most pertinent, and most vexing

Reference Guidelines:

  • Weirda 2009: Created a model, Beta-2, age
  • Grever 2007: FC vs F, new markers little value
  • Shanafelt 2004: Need to build model
  • Montserrat 2006: New markers not necessary in

Refractory disease

  • Orlandi 2009: Discordance rampant, confuses
  • Hallek 2008: New Guidelines IWCLL
  • Gribben 2010: Follow IWCLL Guidelines

Discordant markers are a reality

Qu: How to Make Sense? Ans: Use Common Sense! Use your clinical judgment!!
