    Abstract New drug approvals now afford AML physicians a wider choice of initial treatment options than ever before. Although chemotherapy for AML is by no means ready to be replaced entirely by novel agents, the role of traditional cytotoxics in AML therapy is rapidly changing. In particular, biologically targeted agents such as the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax and inhibitors of FLT3 and IDH mutations stand out as drugs likely to take AML therapy in important new directions. Maximum response and survival benefits likely require combinations of novel agents and chemotherapy or multiple novel agents together. The recently-published phase 3 VIALE-A study demonstrates a very successful example of a new combination approach, which led to venetoclax plus azacitidine establishing itself as the new standard of care for patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy. One could reasonably expect other subsets of AML to benefit from this regimen or other applications of venetoclax combinations. Building on this experience, venetoclax-based regimens also have the potential to replace standard intensive cytarabine/anthracycline "7&3" induction approach for some if not many patients who are fit for induction. This review will describe novel agents with the greatest potential for impactful frontline applications that will change the AML treatment paradigm.

    Abstract Abstract: Therapeutic outcomes for acute myeloid leukemia patients with Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations have improved substantially since the discovery of small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Today, use of FLT3 inhibitors is standard in frontline intensive chemotherapy as well as patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3 mutations and increasingly used as for prolonged remission maintenance posttransplant and/or postconsolidation. Yet, FLT3 inhibitors alone are not curative, and best outcomes are seen when the drugs are used as part of combination regimens. Optimizing therapy for patients with FLT3 mutations remains a work in progress. Overall, modern therapeutic approaches generate cure rates for this group at levels that argue against considering these mutations adverse risk. Still, such survivals require intensive therapy and often transplant. Therefore, efforts are underway to determine if lower toxicity regimens can attain comparable outcomes, at least for patients responding optimally. This review will review the various FLT3 inhibitors that are approved or in development, highlight the areas where they have been shown to add value, and identify areas where their use remains controversial.

    Abstract As single agents, FLT3 inhibitors are active in FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy but not curative. The BCL2 inhibitor, venetoclax, enhances responses to low intensity AML chemotherapy but its activity is limited by MCL1 upregulation. FLT3 inhibitors downregulate MCL1 and synergize with venetoclax in preclinical AML models.

    Abstract The natural history of FLT3-mutated AML is changing after the approval of midostaurin for frontline therapy and gilteritinib for relapsed or refractory patients. Recently reported, positive randomized trials of the drugs gilteritinib, quizartinib, and sorafenib predict even wider use of FLT3 inhibitors going forward. FLT3 inhibitors now emerge as an important, if not indispensable, part of therapy for a large subset of high-risk patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Precious few drugs were successfully developed for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) over the past decades, despite a dramatic expansion of our understanding of its molecular underpinnings during this time. Then in 2017, a wave of new drugs suddenly became approved. This review serves to introduce the newly available drugs, discuss their impact upon therapy, and highlight additional novel agents that are waiting in the wings.
    Recent findings: Newly approved agents in AML include a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for patients with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations, an inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2), and two novel agents using antibody-delivered or liposome-delivered cytotoxics. All of these new agents have demonstrable activity in AML and several have improved survival in randomized studies. In addition to these agents, promising data from other inhibitors of FLT3, IDH1, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) will be discussed.
    Summary: Response, survival, and symptom burden of AML therapy are all improving through novel agents. As many of the newly approved drugs benefit-specific genetic subsets, a new priority has emerged to increase the speed of diagnostic genomic studies as a means to guide frontline therapy. This will ensure patients are optimally categorized and treated with to the most rational agents.

    Abstract Drug therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is finally undergoing major changes in 2017. This is due to the US Food and Drug Administration's approval of several new, targeted agents (midostaurin, enasidenib, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin). Paired with the recent approval of a novel liposomal formulation of daunorubicin/cytarabine (CPX-351/Vyxeos), the standard of care is changing rapidly in AML for subgroups. This review will focus on currently approved agents and promising novel agents in development and will highlight controversial areas in targeted treatment.
