Meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognostic relevance of NOTCH1 and FBXW7 mutation in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
The NOTCH1 signaling pathway is crucial for T-cell development, and NOTCH1 and/or FBXW7 mutations are frequently detected in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the prognostic impact of mu...

Sumario: | The NOTCH1 signaling pathway is crucial for T-cell development, and NOTCH1 and/or FBXW7 mutations are frequently detected in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the prognostic impact of mutations in the NOTCH1 pathway. After retrieving relevant articles from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, we investigated overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) with hazard ratios (HRs) using fixed-effects or random-effects models and conducted subgroup analyses based on population and mutation status. NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations correlated significantly with better prognosis (5-year EFS: HR, 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 0.68; P < 0.001 and 5-year OS: HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.74; P < 0.001). The HR for 5-year EFS and OS with NOTCH1 mutations were 0.63 (95% CI, 0.53 to 0.75) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.60 to 0.95), respectively; with FBXW7 mutations, they were 0.82 (95% CI, 0.60 to 1.11) and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.55 to 1.12), respectively. However, differences between children and adults showed no significance. We conclude that the presence of NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations is an independent prognostic factor for 5-year EFS and 5-year OS. |
