The approval of multi-kinase FLT3 inhibitor (FLT3i) midostaurin with induction therapy for newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML, and a more specific, potent FLT3i, gilteritinib as monotherapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3mut AML have improved outcomes in patients with FLT3mut AML. Mutations of the fms-tyrosine kinase ( FLT3) were first described in 1997 4 and account for the most frequent molecular mutations in AML. 93, 11361141 (2018).

All four patients with ITD insertions in TKD1 had mutations in DNTM3A, compared with 39 out of 96 patients (41%) with ITD insertions in the JMD domain (P=0.031). J. Med. Mechanistically, FLT3-ITDs and FLT3-TKDs induce activation of transduction intermediates, including STAT5, AKT, and ERK1/2 ( 2 ). Approximately one third of AML patients harbor constitutive activating internal tandem duplication in FLT3 (FLT3-ITD), which is associated with very poor prognosis.

No significant difference was found between acute myeloid leukemia patients with these evaluated the outcomes of sequential FLT3i-based therapies in FLT3mut AML. We currently recommend post-transplant maintenance with a FLT3i for at least 2 years (potentially indefinitely as there is limited data on the incidence of possible late relapses) in all FLT3mut AML. In our cohort, FLT3-ITD was located in the JMD domain (JMD-B, JMD-S, JMD-Z and HR) in 98 patients and in the TKD1 domain (B1, NBL and B2) in four patients. Characteristics and outcome of patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3-ITD: results from an international collaborative study. Quizartinib, a second-generation, type I FLT3i is active against FLT3, KIT, CSF1R, PDGFR, and RET kinase34. Recently, a double-blind placebo-controlled study reported a trend toward improved OS but not EFS with sorafenib combined with intensive chemotherapy in the frontline setting, especially among those with high FLT3-ITDmut AR >0.730. More studies will be necessary to confirm these results and to shed light on the possible physiopathologic relationship. The mutation rate of FLT3/ITD in DEK/CAN-positive AML patients is as high as 70% (8,9). Accumulating evidence have shown improved outcomes in FLT3-ITDmut patients receiving induction with higher dose anthracyclines57, cladribine58, or fludarabine added to induction backbone21, and incorporating FLT3i with induction (either first or second generation) in FLT3mut AML24,44,59,60 (Fig. Blood 136, 2223 (2020). 135, 397402 (1986). Levis turned to FLT3-ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to highlight the challenges with targeted therapy. The AUC of the ROC curve of the ITD length for OS prediction was 0.504, and no differences were found when applying any of the thresholds for OS, RFS or CR rate. We suggest that any investigator who wants to demonstrate the prognostic value of the ITD length applies some of the recurrent published thresholds used in this study or divides his cohort into training and validation subcohorts.

Midostaurin has been approved and widely used in combination with induction and consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3mut AML25. Mutations of FLT3 are found in approximately 30% of newly diagnosed AML patients and appear either as ITDs ( 25%) or point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) (710%)4. Among the FLT3mut patients, response rates were numerically higher (33%) and remission duration was longer (31 versus 16 weeks, P=0.09) in those who were naive to treatment with FLT3 inhibitors compared with those who had been exposed to prior FLT3 inhibitors.

These data highlight the potent anti-leukemic activity of the triplet approach in FLT3mut AML. Based on the strong preclinical synergy and synthetic lethality with venetoclax and FLT3i combination49,50,51, and the fact that BCL2 upregulation may confer resistance to FLT3 inhibition52, evaluation of several doublet and triplet combinations of venetoclax and FLT3i are ongoing. Lancet Haematol. Despite the encouraging development of FLT3i, resistance to FLT3i is not uncommon and it can be either primary or secondary. Prognostic impact analyses of FLT3-ITD length were performed among patients treated with upfront IC regimens. While the seven patients treated with the doublet had a CRc rate of 57% (n=4/7) and a median OS of 5.7 months, the fifteen R/R FLT3mut AML patients treated with the triplet had a CRc rate of 81% (n=11) with a projected 1-year OS of 60%.

The FLT3-ITD allelic ratio has clear prognostic value. FLT3 plays a role in cell survival, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The FMS-like tyrosine (FLT3) gene encodes a class III receptor tyrosine kinase, sharing structural and sequence homologies with family members, including c-kit, c-FMS, FLT1, and PDGF- R. FLT3 plays a key role in the control of hematopoiesis. After post-remission therapy with either consolidation (high-dose cytarabine-based) or allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT), AR 0.51 and FLT3-ITD insertion site in TKD1 were associated with an unfavorable RFS (P=0.0008) and OS (P=0.004)15. Outcomes with sequential FLT3-inhibitor-based therapies in patients with AML. The FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) is one of the most frequent mutations found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, with a frequency of 20-30%. and JavaScript.

Type I FLT3is like gilteritinib are less prone to develop secondary mutations in the TKD, although the gatekeeper F691M can confer resistance to gilteritinib71. Furthermore, ten patients with mutated WT1 showed a median ITD length of 77bp,and 58 patients with non-mutated WT1 showed a median ITD length of 42bp (P=0.021). Am. However, a subsequent UKMRC study of 1600 patients with cytogenetic intermediate-risk AML showed that relapse risk did not differ based on the FLT3-ITDmut AR, and that the cumulative incidence of relapse in patients with NPM1mut was increased with a concurrent FLT3-ITDmut irrespective of the AR19. Biol. In the frontline setting, there was a sequential decrease in CRc rates (77%31%25%) and OS (16.76.01.4 months). Additionally, the area under the ROC curve, which serves as an indicator of the diagnostic capacity of the ITD length as a whole, was 0.504. FLT3 -ITD and FLT3 point mutations show a gain-of-function phenotype with distinct signalling properties in vitro. We have no explanation regarding the reduced number of patients with an FLT3-ITD inserted in TKD1 found in our cohort. Clinical trial enrollment (if available) is always the first option, in both frontline and R/R FLT3mut AML. Two classes of activating FLT3 mutations occur in AML: (1) internal tandem duplication ( FLT3 -ITD) which occur in 20-25% of patients and (2) tyrosine kinase domain mutations ( FLT3 -TKD) which are seen in 5-10% of patients [48]. In general, quizartinib is well tolerated with minimal skin, gastrointestinal, or pulmonary side effects. In the FLT3-ITDLOW group of patients, the median OS was 2.3years (CI: 1.13.6), and in the FLT3-ITDHIGH group of patients, the median OS was 1.1years (CI: 0.71.5). J. Clin.

Clin. However, the median OS was 19.2 months in FLT3-TKDmut AML (19.2 months), but only 11.5 months in FLT3-ITDmut patients65. Blood 100, 43724380 (2002). 2, 3 There are two types of FLT3 mutation, internal tandem duplication of FLT3 ( FLT3-ITD) and tyrosine kinase 2A). The CRc rates (47%) were similar between both doses, and the frequency of QTcF >500ms was significantly reduced (35%) with these lower doses of quizartinib35. Our results, alongside previous publications, confirm that FLT3-ITD length lacks prognostic value and clinical applicability. Daver, N., Venugopal, S. & Ravandi, F.

Stratified KaplanMeier analysis was also employed with the AR and genetic risk, following 2010 ELN guidelines21, as classifiers of the patients. Andrew, H. et al. recently showed that ASCT in CR1 improved RFS and OS independent of the FLT3-ITDmut AR or NPM1mut status in patients with FLT3-ITDmut AML20.

While both FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations are common in AML with a normal karyotype, these mutations are also identified in AML with various karyotypic abnormalities. In patients 55 years, this regimen appeared to overcome the negative impact of FLT3-ITDmut in NPM1 co-mutated patients, regardless of the FLT3 AR, with comparable 3-year OS rates of 64% and 68% in FLT3-ITDmut NPM1mut and FLT3-ITDWT NPM1mut patients, respectively (P>0.05). However, other studies did not find significantly worse clinical outcomes in patients with non-JMD ITD mutations24,25. Among patients treated with azacitidine and quizartinib in the frontline setting, the CRc rate was 78% (n=7/9) with a median OS of 21.1 months. Swaminathan et al. Blood 114, 29842992 (2009). Cladribine added to daunorubicin-cytarabine induction prolongs survival of FLT3-ITD+ normal karyotype AML patients. Article It is important to acknowledge the diverse mechanisms of FLT3i resistance after different FLT3is, and it is essential to proactively evaluate for these mechanisms at the time of FLT3i failure to optimize subsequent therapy.
