New combo therapy shows promise for kids with aggressive leukemia
NCT ID NCT03591510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding the drug midostaurin to standard chemotherapy helps children with a certain genetic type of acute myeloid leukemia (FLT3-mutated AML). About 22 children will receive the drug twice daily alongside chemo, then continue midostaurin alone for 12 more cycles. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps control the disease, but ongoing treatment may be needed.
