Effectiveness

How Rydapt Affects PatientsMidostaurin works by targeting certain proteins (kinases) that can cause cancer, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and advanced systemic mastocytosis (ASM). Taking midostaurin does not significantly affect heart rate. It can be used in combination with chemotherapy treatment to be more effective.
How Rydapt works in the bodyMidostaurin works by blocking multiple receptor proteins in the body. These proteins help control cell growth, and by stopping them, midostaurin can prevent the growth of cancer cells and leukemia cells. It also helps stop the growth of mast cells. Midostaurin also inhibits organic anion transporter and multidrug resistance protein, which can help it work more effectively.
