ELN risk classification for patients receiving less-intensive therapies (ELN 2024 Less-Intensive)

Risk categoryGenetic abnormality
Favorable Mutated NPM1 (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt)
Mutated IDH2 (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt)
Mutated IDH1 (TP53wt)
Mutated DDX41,
Other cytogenetic and/or molecular abnormalities (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt
Intermediate Other cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities (FLT3-ITDpos and/or NRASmut and/or KRASmut; TP53wt
Adverse Mutated TP53 
Risk categoryGenetic abnormality
Favorable Mutated NPM1 (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt)
Mutated IDH2 (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt)
Mutated IDH1 (TP53wt)
Mutated DDX41,
Other cytogenetic and/or molecular abnormalities (FLT3-ITDneg, NRASwt, KRASwt, TP53wt
Intermediate Other cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities (FLT3-ITDpos and/or NRASmut and/or KRASmut; TP53wt
Adverse Mutated TP53 

This classification does not apply to patients who have received prior treatment with an HMA.

Favorable risk applies specifically to patients treated with AZA + IVO, irrespective of the presence of activating signaling gene mutations.

Identification of a DDX41 mutation at near-heterozygous frequency should prompt consideration of germ line DDX41 mutation.

For many cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, single or as coaberrations, no data are currently available; they are tentatively categorized as favorable and intermediate-risk depending on the absence or presence of activating signaling gene mutations.
