AML Hub

The AML Hub held a virtual symposium on November 19, 2025, titled Understanding the differences between FLT3-ITD and -TKD mutations in AML: Implications for clinical practice. The symposium ended with a panel Q&A discussion with live audience participation. The panelists, Gail J. Roboz, Jorge Sierra, and Jorge Cortes, shared their perspectives on treatment decisions for patients with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, including choice of FLT3 inhibitor, how FLT3-mutated measurable residual disease (MRD) might guide transplant decisions, as well as the importance of monitoring FLT3-mutated MRD with the appropriate assay. This educational resource is independently supported by Daiichi Sankyo.

The AML Hub held a virtual symposium on November 19, 2025, titled Understanding the differences between FLT3-ITD and -TKD mutations in AML: Implications for clinical practice. Here, we share a presentation from the symposium by Gail J. Roboz, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, US, in which she discussed the management of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) and FLT3-tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations in clinical practice.Roboz reflected on whether 7+3 regimens are the most appropriate approach for older patients with FLT3-mutated AML, and reviewed considerations for using targeted FLT3 inhibitor therapies in combination with standard intensive chemotherapy. She then highlighted the importance of measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment in guiding treatment decisions before and after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and the potential of triplet therapies for the treatment of patients with FLT3m AML.This educational resource is independently supported by Daiichi Sankyo.

The AML Hub held a webinar on November 19, 2025, titled, Understanding the differences between FLT3-ITD and -TKD mutations in AML: Implications for clinical practice. Here, we share a presentation from the webinar by Jorge Cortes, Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta, US, discussing treatment options for patients with FLT3-ITD and -TKD mutations.Cortes describes the mechanisms of action of Type I and Type II FLT3 inhibitors, followed by an overview of key efficacy and survival data from clinical trials of FLT3-targeted therapies.This educational resource is independently supported by Daiichi Sankyo.

The AML Hub held a webinar on November 19, 2025, titled, “Understanding the differences between FLT3-ITD and -TKD mutations in AML: Implications for clinical practice.” Here, we share one of the presentations, by Jorge Sierra, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, ES, discussing the types, prevalence, and clinical significance of FLT3 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sierra provided an overview of the role of FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) and -tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations in AML pathogenesis, and the differences in their molecular characteristics. He then discussed the prognostic value of FLT3-ITD and -TKD and concomitant mutations in patients with AML, and current risk stratification guidelines.This educational resource is independently supported by Daiichi Sankyo.

Following the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, December 6–9, 2025, Orlando, US, the AML Hub was pleased to speak with Gail Roboz, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, US. We asked, What are the latest findings from clinical trials of pivekimab sunirine in unfit patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?In this interview, Roboz discusses key findings from a preliminary subgroup analysis of a phase Ib/II trial (NCT04086264), investigating the anti-CD123 antibody–drug conjugate pivekimab sunirine in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax, for ≥14 days or 28 days, in unfit patients with newly diagnosed CD123-positive AML. The primary endpoint was antileukemic activity, including complete remission (CR) and composite CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) rates.This educational resource is independently supported by AbbVie.

Following the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, December 6–9, 2025, Orlando, US, the AML Hub was pleased to speak with Amir Fathi, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, US. We asked, How might the phase II PARADIGM trial data impact treatment decisions for newly diagnosed fit adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?In this interview, Fathi discussed key findings from the open-label, randomized, phase II PARADIGM trial comparing azacitidine + venetoclax with conventional induction chemotherapy in functionally fit patients with newly diagnosed AML (NCT04801797). The primary endpoint was event-free survival.This educational resource is independently supported by AbbVie. All content was developed by SES in collaboration with an expert steering committee.

The AML Hub was pleased to speak with Eytan Stein, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, US. We asked, What are the latest data presented on current and emerging treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML)? Stein starts by discussing therapies approved for the treatment of IDH1-mutated (IDH1m) AML, including ivosidenib and olutasidenib, and supporting data. He then considers strategies in development for IDH-mutated AML, such as combining IDH1 inhibitors with venetoclax, before concluding with areas of interest for future research. Stein talks about the potential of IDH1 inhibitors in precursor states of myeloid malignancies, such as clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), and the aims of ongoing studies.

The AML Hub was pleased to speak with Emma Searle, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK. We asked for her thoughts on the topic “Menin inhibitors in AML: Bridging the gap between trial data and clinical practice.” Searle summarizes the key considerations when using menin inhibitors in the treatment of NPM1-mutated (NPM1m) or KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in clinical practice, and her thoughts on key areas of interest looking forward.

During a meeting of the AML Hub Steering Committee, held on July 22, 2025, Charles Craddock chaired a discussion on the topic: Addressing uncertainty in patient selection for transplant. The discussion featured contributions from Jessica Altman, Courtney DiNardo, Jeffrey Lancet, Roland Walter, and Joshua Zeidner.
