Mark J. Levis, MD, PhD, Department of Oncology, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University, discusses the ideal way to use quizartinib to treat a patient with an FLT3-ITD mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Clinical Pearls:
- The ideal way to use a FLT3 inhibitor is to introduce it upfront with induction therapy in a newly diagnosed patient with FLT3-ITD AML
- Studies using “not as effective” FLT3 inhibitors still show a considerable amount of efficacy with this procedure
- Patients should be treated into remission until the patient can receive an allogeneic transplant and then a FLT3 inhibitor
