Should quizartinib maintenance be SOC after SCT for patients with FLT3 mutated AML?

During the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting in Orlando, US, the AML Global Portal were delighted to speak to Siddhartha Ganguly, The University of Kansas Health System, Kansas City, US. We asked: Should quizartinib maintenance be standard of care after stem cell transplant for patients with FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia?

Siddhartha Ganguly talks about the role of quizartinib in the post and pre-transplant setting. He discusses the results of the QuANTUM-R study that compared quizartinib with salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/ refractory FLT-ITD AML. He also describes his post hoc analysis of that study where he examined the clinical characteristics and the outcome of patients that underwent subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
