A Global Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Midostaurin + Chemotherapy in Newly Diagnosed Patients With FLT3 Mutation Negative (FLT3-MN) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
United States, Argentina, Australia511 participantsStarted 2018-07-20
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study was to confirm the preliminary evidence from early clinical trials that midostaurin may provide clinical benefit not only to AML patients with the FLT3-mutations but also in FLT3-MN (SR\<0.05) AML (FLT3 mutant to wild type signal ratio below the 0.05 clinical cut-off).
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of midostaurin in combination with daunorubicin or idarubicin and cytarabine for induction and intermediate-dose cytarabine for consolidation, and midostaurin single agent post-consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed patients with FLT3-MN (SR\<0.05) AML.

Inclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of AML (≥20% blasts in the bone marrow based on WHO 2016 classification). Patients with APL with PML-RARA are not eligible.
. Suitability for intensive induction chemotherapy in the judgment of the investigator
. Documented absence of an ITD and TKD activating mutation at codons D835 and I836 in the FLT3 gene, as determined by analysis in a Novartis designated laboratory using a validated clinical trial assay with clinical cutoff of 0.05 mutant to wild type signal ratio
. Age ≥18 years
. Laboratory values that indicate adequate organ function assessed locally at the screening visit

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
