Dr Kadia talks about midostaurin in combination with standard 7+3 chemotherapy, a frontline treatment given to patients with newly diagnosed AML which has demonstrated survival benefit. Dr Kadia further talks about the use of FLT3 inhibitors in the relapsed/refractory setting as well as post-transplant, both which have shown to improve overall survival. This interview took place during the ninth annual meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2021) congress.
