A dual inhibitor overcomes drug-resistant FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC8255005
Evidence Type(s): Prognostic, Oncogenic, Functional
Justification: Prognostic: The text states that FLT3 mutations are associated with poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), indicating that the presence of these mutations can provide information about the likely outcome of the disease. Oncogenic: The mention of FLT3 mutations, including D835 and F691L, as common genetic alterations in AML suggests that these variants contribute to the development of cancer. Functional: The text discusses the resistance of FLT3 mutations (specifically F691L and D835Y) to FLT3 inhibitors and the mechanisms by which KX2-391 overcomes this resistance, indicating a functional role of these mutations in drug response.
