Background And Objectives: Gilteritinib (XOSPATA®, Astellas) is a type I oral FLT3 inhibitor, a tyrosine kinase AXL inhibitor, involved in both c-Kit and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) resistance. In the phase 3 ADMIRAL trial, gilteritinib was compared with the standard of care in (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who harbored any FLT3 mutation and showed superior efficacy with regard to response and survival.
Objectives: This research aimed to investigate the real-life efficacy and safety of gilteritinib in FLT3-positive R/R AML patients who were treated as a part of an early access program held in Turkey in April 2020 (NCT03409081).
Objective: Significant developments occurred in the clinical management of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults in recent decades. However, treatment results are still not satisfactory, especially in routine practice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the general clinical features, treatment details, and outcomes of a large group of patients followed in multiple centers in Turkey with a diagnosis of ALL.

Material And Methods: In all, 74 pulmonary MDCT examinations in 37 consecutive hematopoietic stem celltransplantation patients with febrile neutropenia and clinically suspected IPA were retrospectively evaluated.
Results: Diagnosis of IPA was based on Fungal Infections Cooperative Group, and National Institute of Allergy andInfectious Diseases Mycoses Study Consensus Group criteria.
