Prognostic Value of FLT3-Internal Tandem Duplication Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Tim Grob et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the next-generation sequencing-based detection of FLT3-ITD MRD predicts the risk of relapse and overall survival in patients with AML. The prognostic value of FLT3-ITD MRD exceeds that of other established clinical and molecular prognostic factors, highlighting its significance as a clinically relevant biomarker for dynamic disease risk assessment in AML.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Version 3.2023

Daniel A. Pollyea et al.

Summary: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of myeloid blasts, while blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare malignancy characterized by the aggressive proliferation of plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors. This article focuses on the diagnosis and management of BPDCN according to the NCCN Guidelines for AML.

Gilteritinib clinical activity in relapsed/refractory FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia previously treated with FLT3 inhibitors

Yazan Numan et al.

Summary: This research analyzed 113 patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3(mut+) AML who received gilteritinib treatment and found a CRc rate of 48.7%. Among patients who received 7+3 and midostaurin treatment, the CRc rate after gilteritinib treatment was 58% with a median survival of 7.8 months. Patients who achieved CR, especially those with a cMRD negative response, had the longest survival.

Follow-up of patients with R/R FLT3-mutation-positive AML treated with gilteritinib in the phase 3 ADMIRAL trial

Alexander E. Perl et al.

Summary: The follow-up of the ADMIRAL trial after 2 years demonstrates that gilteritinib is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutation-positive AML. Gilteritinib therapy provides superior overall survival and long-term remission compared to salvage chemotherapy, especially when used as post-HSCT maintenance.

A review of FLT3 inhibitors in acute myeloid leukemia

Jennifer C. Zhao et al.

Summary: FLT3 mutations are the most common genetic aberrations in AML and are associated with poor prognosis. There are several targeted therapies available, such as midostaurin and gilteritinib, but challenges like drug resistance mechanisms and controversies surrounding maintenance therapy remain.

Clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia treated with gilteritinib who received prior midostaurin or sorafenib

Alexander E. Perl et al.

Summary: Gilteritinib is effective for FLT3-mutated relapsed/refractory AML, even in patients who had prior treatment with sorafenib or midostaurin. However, remission durations are shorter in patients with prior FLT3 TKI exposure.

Diagnosis and management of AML in adults: 2022 recommendations from an international expert panel on behalf of the ELN

Hartmut Doehner et al.

Summary: The 2010 and 2017 editions of the European LeukemiaNet recommendations for AML diagnosis and management are widely recognized. There have been major advances in our understanding of AML, including disease classification updates, improvements in genomic diagnostics, and the development of new therapeutic agents. This update includes a revised genetic risk classification, response criteria, and treatment recommendations.

Venetoclax Plus Gilteritinib for FLT3-Mutated Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Naval Daver et al.

Summary: Combining gilteritinib with venetoclax has shown promising results in treating relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML, with high rates of response and molecular remission regardless of prior FLT3 inhibitor therapy.

Efficacy of FLT3 and IDH1/2 inhibitors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia previously treated with venetoclax

Jan Philipp Bewersdorf et al.

Summary: A multicenter retrospective cohort study found that response rates to FLT3, IDH1, and IDH2 inhibitors after venetoclax-based therapy were low in patients with AML. Patients with RAS pathway mutations did not respond well to targeted agents, and mutations in TP53 and KRAS were associated with shorter overall survival. This suggests the need for novel therapeutic strategies.

Midostaurin after allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients with FLT3-internal tandem duplication-positive acute myeloid leukemia

Richard T. Maziarz et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of adding midostaurin to standard-of-care treatment in preventing relapse following alloHSCT in FLT3-ITD AML patients. Results showed an 18-month RFS rate of 89% in the midostaurin maintenance therapy group compared to 76% in the SOC group. The inhibition of FLT3 phosphorylation to <70% of baseline was associated with improved RFS, indicating potential clinical benefit in some patients.

FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors synergize with BCL-2 inhibition to eliminate FLT3/ITD acute leukemia cells through BIM activation

Ruiqi Zhu et al.

Summary: Combining FLT3 TKIs with BCL-2 selective inhibitors synergistically reduces cell proliferation and enhances apoptosis, resensitizing FLT3 TKI-resistant cells. Venetoclax mitigates the pro-survival effects of FLT3 TKIs by dissociating BIM from BCL-2 and decreasing BIM expression. This study provides evidence that adding BCL-2 inhibitors enhances the efficacy of FLT3 TKI therapy in FLT3/ITD AML treatment.
