RESUMEN
Patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) with mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) have a poor prognosis even after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Multiple FLT3 inhibitors, including gilteritinib, have been developed and serve as treatment options for RR-AML. Here, we describe three cases of FLT3 mutated RR-AML that were successfully treated with gilteritinib administration before and after allo-HCT. Gilteritinib treatment before HCT was helpful in achieving remission. However, HCT often resulted in mild liver damage, and careful introduction of gilteritinib after HCT at a lower dose may be helpful for its safe usage. The three cases discussed had a successful clinical outcome in terms of disease control as well as the management of side effects associated with gilteritinib treatment.
