Study Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two drugs, gilteritinib and midostaurin, in patients with FLT3 acute myeloid leukemia who are also receiving standard chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with previously untreated FLT3 mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who have good organ function and no severe heart conditions or other cancers. They must not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, and can't have had certain treatments for related diseases within the last 21 days.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether gilteritinib or midostaurin is more effective when combined with standard chemotherapy drugs daunorubicin and cytarabine in treating AML. Gilteritinib is investigational in this context while midostaurin is FDA-approved for FLT3 AML.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver problems, skin reactions, heart issues like irregular heartbeat or chest pain. There's also a risk of infection due to low blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy.
