FLT3 mutations are commonly detected in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients and are associated with poor prognosis. Crenolanib, a potent type I pan-FLT3 (GeneID:2322) inhibitor, is effective against both internal tandem ...
Primary human AML cells (newly diagnosed, prior to treatment initation) was obtained from donor after consent and AML blasts were isolated by standard Ficoll centrifugation. Cells were treated ex vivo with DMSO vehicle control or 10 nM FLT3 inhibitors quizartinib, crenolanib, gilteritinib for 6 hour...
Effectively targeting leukemia-initiating cells (LIC) in FLT3-internal-tandem-duplication (ITD)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a crucial goal for achievement of cure. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have limited impact as single agents and have thus far been unable to eradicate L...
