Abstract

Activating mutations of FLT3 occur in about 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and are associated with relapse and poor prognosis. Midostaurin is the first drug approved for AML since 2000, and the first multi-kinase inhibitor approved for the FLT3-mutant subtype. To view this Bench to Bedside, open or download the PDF.
