Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to discuss the current clinical landscape for the treatment of FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, key ongoing questions, and potential future directions.


Three FLT3 inhibitors are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of FLT3-mutated (FLT3m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML): quizartinib for newly diagnosed (ND) FLT3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) AML and as maintenance therapy; gilteritinib for relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3m AML; and midostaurin for ND FLT3m AML and as maintenance therapy in FLT3m AML.1–6 Ongoing clinical trials aim to address remaining questions in the FLT3 inhibitor treatment landscape, including how these agents can be optimally integrated into treatment strategies across different clinical settings and patient populations. 

The AML Hub was pleased to speak with Mark J. Levis, Charles Craddock, and Eytan Stein to gain their expert insights on the current clinical landscape for the treatment of FLT3m AML, how clinical trials are addressing the key ongoing questions, and what the future might hold for the evolution of FLT3 inhibitors in the treatment of AML.
