Gefitinib achieves complete morphological remission in ALK-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia – Nature
Gefitinib treatment for ALK rearranged acute myeloid leukemia can achieve complete morphological remission.
Full Article Content
The cytogenetic abnormality inv(2)(p23q13) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) results in a fusion of RANBP2 with ALK. This fusion makes ALK constitutively active and acts as a driver for the proliferation of AML cell lines. Gilteritinib, a FLT3 inhibitor approved in AML, also can inhibit ALK among other receptor tyrosine kinases. A 75-year-old-woman with a history of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and a presumed germline DDX41 mutation developed ALK-fusion positive AML and despite standard therapies was transfusion-dependent and globally declining. The patient has been on gilteritinib with an ongoing response of more than one year with near normal blood counts and no evidence of AML. The fact that she was found to harbor a presumed germline DDX41 alteration may account for why she developed, and yet survived, two myeloid neoplasms (ET and AML). Additionally, this demonstrates that gilteritinib is clinically active as an ALK inhibitor, and could be considered for use in any AML patient presenting with an inv(2(p23q13)) translocation. Finally, it is an example of using a disease-agnostic, precision medicine approach to arrive at a beneficial treatment.

GILLIDX Gilteritinib 40mg
Gipritinib is a potent, selective, oral FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor. The approval of gipritinib was based on the global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled phase III clinical trial ADMIRAL, which ultimately enrolled 371 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who had FLT3 mutations detected in their blood or bone marrow. These patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either gipritinib or salvage chemotherapy. The primary composite endpoint of the ADMIRAL study was overall survival (OS) and the rate of complete remission (CR/CRh) with complete or partial hematologic recovery. The results of this study were published in the prestigious medical journal *The New England Journal of Medicine* (NEJM).
