Internal tandem duplication of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD) mutations have been reported in 20%-30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FLT3-ITD-positive AML patients have an inferior survival, primarily due to lower complete remission (CR) rate and higher relapse rate. Our previous studies demonstrated that post-transplantation sorafenib maintenance could improve the outcomes of FLT3-ITD-positive AML patients. However, whether other co-existing mutations influence the efficacy of post-allo-HSCT sorafenib maintenance remains unknown.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the influence of co-existing mutations on the efficacy of sorafenib maintenance after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with FLT3-ITD AML.
