Gilteritinib, a FLT3/AXL inhibitor, shows antileukemic activity in mouse models of FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC5613053
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The text indicates that mutations in FLT3, including D835Y and F691, are associated with poor overall survival in AML, suggesting their role in cancer progression. Predictive: The evidence shows that gilteritinib effectively inhibits cell growth in models expressing FLT3 mutations (D835Y, F691), indicating its potential as a predictive biomarker for treatment response in FLT3 mutation-positive AML. Functional: The study demonstrates that gilteritinib inhibits the activity of mutated FLT3, affecting downstream signaling pathways and leading to tumor regression, which reflects the functional impact of these mutations on drug efficacy.
