The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of gilteritinib as induction therapy in FLT3-positive adult acute myeloid leukemia patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is gilteritinib in combination to chemotherapy able to improve the complete remission rate of FLT3-positive AML?
Participants will receive up to 2 induction cycles with gilteritinib in combination with FLAI (fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicine) and up to 3 consolidation cycles with gilteritinib and high-dose cytarabine.
This is a multi-center, non-controlled, open-label, Phase 2 interventional study.
Young (≤65 years old) patients with newly diagnosed non M3, FLT3-positive acute myeloid leukemia will receive a combination of Gilteritinib and FLAI (fludarabine, high dose cytarabine and idarubicin) as induction treatment.
Gilteritinib will be administered at the standard dose of 120 mg which has already been tested in phase I combination trials. (34) Patients failing to achieve CR after first cycle may receive a second identical induction with FLAI.
Patients achieving CR after the first cycle of FLAI may receive, upon medical decision, a second induction as well, however omitting fludarabine administration (high dose cytarabine + idarubicin).
Consolidation treatment will consist in up to 3 cycles of high dose cytarabine in combination with Gilteritinib.
Transplant will be allowed in the trial for eligible patients. The primary endpoint is CR rate after first FLAI (or after second FLAI if administered).
Key secondary endpoint is MRD negativity rate after first FLAI (or after second FLAI if administered).
As the achievement of CR in AML is required for long term survival, the primary endpoint is of high clinical significance. Furthermore, given the well-known prognostic impact of MRD in CR patients, the key secondary endpoint is also highly relevant.
Planned study duration is 60 months. Patient enrollment is expected to be completed in 3 years, and the last patient enrolled will be followed-up for 18 months.

Exclusion Criteria:
Treatment consists in up to 2 induction cycles and up to 3 consolidation cycles: Induction: Patients will receive Gilteritinib 120 mg QD p.o from day 6 to 26 (21 days), in combination with FLAI induction (fludarabine 30 mg/sqm from day 1 to 5, cytarabine 2000 mg/sqm from day 1 to 5, Idarubicine 10 mg/sqm on days 1, 3, 53). Response will be assessed on day 28 with a bone marrow aspirate. * In patients not achieving CR, the second induction cycle will be identical to Induction I. * In patients achieving CR, a second induction cycle with ARA-C + IDA will be allowed (cytarabine 2000 mg/sqm from day 1 to 5, Idarubicine 10 mg/sqm on days 1, 3, 5), with the same schedule for Gilteritinib (day 6 to 26) Up to 3 consolidation cycles consisting in high dose cytarabine (1500-3000 mg/sqm bid on days 1,3,5) or intermediate in combination with Gilteritinib 120 mg QD p.o from day 6 to 26 will be allowed. Patients considered eligible may proceed to allo-HSCT at any time after day 28.
Drug: Gilteritinib
Gilteritinib fumarate is an oral, selective FLT3 and AXL inhibitor. It is a type 1 inhibitor, active against both the FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations. Gilteritinib inhibits FLT3 receptor signaling and proliferation in cells exogenously expressing FLT3 including FLT3-ITD, FLT3-D835Y, and FLT3-ITD-D835Y, and it induces apoptosis in leukemic cells expressing FLT3-ITD. Gilteritinib is approved for the treatment of relpased/refractory FLT3-mutated AML after the successfull ADMIRAL trial. In the present study Gilteritinib (120 mg/die) in combination with FLAI will be tested as induction therapy in newly-diagnosed patients.
