My Thoughts on the Future of FLT3 Therapy in AML

Gain insight on the latest investigative treatments for patients with FLT3-positive AML with this expert commentary.

"Approximately 25% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have the FLT3-ITD or FLT3-TKD mutation, which is prognostic for poorer outcomes. In the past 4 years, the FDA approved 2 FLT3 inhibitors, midostaurin and gilteritinib. Midostaurin was approved in combination with standard 3+7 induction chemotherapy, in a randomized, multicentral phase III study of 3+7 with midostaurin vs 3+7 alone in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD and/or DA35 mutations in the frontline setting. Gilteritinib is a more potent and specific second-generation FLT3 inhibitor and was approved based on improved survival as well as improved composite CR (CRc) rate, noted in the phase III Admiral study in patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD–mutated and/or D835-mutated AML, in which gilteritinib was compared with investigator choice chemotherapy, and gilteritinib showed a significantly improved CRc rate of 35% vs 15% for chemotherapy."
