Mark J. Levis, MD, PhD, discusses the takeaways from the phase 3 BMT CTN 1506/MORPHO trial which evaluated maintenance gilteritinib after allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients with FLT3-ITD–positive acute myeloid leukemia.

Patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia typically have low response rates to chemotherapy. However, some subsets of patients, particularly those with targetable mutations, may have long-term survival when given a novel FLT3 inhibitor like gilteritinib, as seen in the ADMIRAL trial, says Mark J. Levis, MD, PhD.
