Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Documentation of Disease:
- Unequivocal diagnosis of AML ( \> 20% blasts in the bone marrow based on the WHO classification), excluding M3 (acute promyelocytic leukemia). Patients with neurologic symptoms suggestive of CNS leukemia are recommended to have a lumbar puncture. Patients whose CSF is positive for AML blasts are not eligible.
- Documented FLT3 mutation (ITD or point mutation), determined by analysis in a protocol- designated FLT3 screening laboratory.
- Age Requirement:
- Age ≥ 18 and \< 60 years
- Prior Therapy:
- No prior chemotherapy for leukemia or myelodysplasia with the following exceptions:
- emergency leukapheresis
- emergency treatment for hyperleukocytosis with hydroxyurea for ≤ 5 days
- cranial RT for CNS leukostasis (one dose only)
- growth factor/cytokine support
- AML patients with a history of antecedent myelodysplasia (MDS) remain eligible for treatment on this trial, but must not have had prior cytotoxic therapy (e.g., azacitidine or decitabine)
- Patients who have developed therapy related AML after prior RT or chemotherapy for another cancer or disorder are not eligible.
- Cardiac Function: Patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure are not eligible.
- Initial Laboratory Value: Total bilirubin \< 2.5 x ULN (Upper Limit of Normal)
- Pregnancy and Nursing Status:
- Non-pregnant and non-nursing due to the unknown teratogenic potential of midostaurin in humans, pregnant or nursing patients may not be enrolled.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 16 days prior to registration.
- Women of child-bearing potential must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or commit to TWO acceptable methods of birth control:
- one highly effective method (eg, IUD, hormonal (non-oral contraceptive), tubal ligation, or partner's vasectomy) and
- one additional effective method (e.g., latex condom, diaphragm or cervical cap)
- The two acceptable methods of birth control must be used AT THE SAME TIME, before beginning midostaurin/placebo therapy and continuing for 12 weeks after completion of all therapy.
- Note that oral contraceptives are not considered a high effective method because of the possibility of a drug interaction with midostaurin.
- Women of childbearing potential is defined as a sexually active mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has not had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months.
- Men must agree not to father a child and must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearing potential while taking midostaurin/placebo and for 12 weeks after therapy is stopped, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy.
