- Normally, the FLT3 receptor regulates cell growth, but in FLT3 AML, FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations drive uncontrolled cell proliferation2
- RYDAPT is a first-in-class therapy that inhibits multiple tyrosine kinases, including FLT3 and KIT kinases4,5
- RYDAPT induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in leukaemic cells with FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations, as well as in cells that overexpress wild type FLT3 receptors4,5





aRATIFY: Phase 3 trial, 717 patients with newly diagnosed AML and a FLT3 mutation were randomly assigned to receive standard chemotherapy (induction therapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine and consolidation therapy with high-dose cytarabine) plus either RYDAPT or placebo; those who were in remission after consolidation therapy entered a maintenance phase in which they received either RYDAPT or placebo. The primary endpoint was OS.7
AE, adverse event; AML, acute myeloid leukaemia; CI, confidence interval; FLT3, FMS-like tyrosine kinase; FLT3-ITD, FMS-like tyrosine kinase internal tandem duplication; FLT3-TKD, FMS-like tyrosine kinase tyrosine kinase domain-activating mutation; HR, hazard ratio; ITD, internal tandem duplication; KIT, tyrosine-protein kinase KIT; mo, months; NCCN, The National Comprehensive Cancer Network; NR, not reached; OS, overall survival; PBS, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme; SAE, serious adverse event; TKD, tyrosine kinase domain.
