Salvage Therapy with Second-Generation Inhibitors for FLT3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Real-World Study by the CETLAM and PETHEMA Groups.

Background/objectives: Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML with mutation () have a dismal prognosis. offers a target for therapy in these patients. Gilteritinib (gilter) and quizartinib (quizar) have demonstrated efficacy as single agents in two phase 3 clinical trials.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with ring sideroblasts/ mutation presents with low monocyte count and resembles myelodysplastic syndromes with-RS/ mutation in terms of phenotype and prognosis.

Introduction: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with ring sideroblasts (RS) or mutation (MDS-RS/) differ in many clinical features, but share others, such as anemia. RS and mutation can also be found in CMML.

Methods: We compared CMML with and without RS/ and MDS-RS/ considering the criteria established by the 2022 World Health Organization classification.
