Targeting FLT-3 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia: from Molecular Insights to Clinical Strategies. (PubMed, Folia Biol (Praha))
First-generation inhibitors, such as midostaurin, provided the foundation for targeted therapy, while recently developed agents such as gilteritinib and quizartinib have shown more selectivity and demonstrated superior clinical efficiency and improved tolerability. This review discusses the significance of FLT-3 mutations, the evolution of targeted therapies, current treatment guidelines, and ongoing challenges such as resistance and high relapse rates. We also discuss the emerging combinations of therapies and novel agents currently in clinical trials that aim to overcome resistance and improve long-term outcomes for patients with FLT-3-mutated AML.
