Why do some FLT3 inhibitors work in AML and some don’t?
Oncology R&D is tough and there are many more failures than successes, despite the FDA approving more than they’ve rejected over the last two years. That’s quite unusual in my experience.
As Dr Mario Sznol (Yale) told us at SITC recently, sometimes these things are sometimes more whimsical. He was referring to different types of modalities that can be used in conjunction with cancer immunotherapies, but the sentiment is also highly relevant to the FLT3 AML space.
The critical questions we need to think here about are:
- What’s different about the various approaches?
- What can we learn from the FLT3 experiences to date that give us clues about the changing landscape in AML?
