Advances in the Treatment of FLT3-Mutated AML | AML is a heterogeneous disease and is the most common acute leukemia in adults. It has an annual US incidence over 20,000 and death rate of over 10,000 per year. The 5-year remission rates after conventional induction therapy is 40% below 60 years and 10%-20% in older patients. FLT3-ITD mutation has been added to the WHO risk stratification as a predictor of poor prognosis. On April 28, 2017 FDA approved midostaurinin combination with standard cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation for treating adult newly diagnosed AML patients who are FLT3 mutation positive as detected by an FDA approved test.
