Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication mutation are associated with a poor survival outcome, even those receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT). An additional treatment strategy with allo-SCT is therefore required to reduce relapse in these patients. Gilteritinib is a specific FLT3 inhibitor that has shown clinical benefit for patients with relapsed and refractory (R/R) AML harboring FLT3 mutation. We herein report a 49-year-old woman with R/R AML who was successfully treated with pre- and post-transplant gilteritinib. Post-transplant gilteritnib yielded a durable response with possible exacerbation of graft-versus-host disease.
