    Midostaurin, sold under the brand name Rydapt among others, is a medication used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and systemic mastocytosis.[2] It is used in AML that has a FLT3 mutation.[1] It is taken by mouth.[2]

    Common side effects include febrile neutropenia, peeling skin, vomiting, headache, and bleeding into the skin.[1] Other side effects may include anaphylaxis, pneumonitis, infertility, and prolonged QT.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks KIT kinase and FLT3 tyrosine kinase.[1]

    Midostaurin was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2017.[2][1] In the United Kingdom 28 doses of 50 mg costs the NHS about £5,600 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States is about 9,900 USD.[4]

    Medical uses[edit | edit source]

    AML and MDS[edit | edit source]

    Midostaurin was found to be active against oncogenic CD135 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor, FLT3), in preclinical studies.[5] Clinical trials have primarily focused on relapsed/refractory AML and MDS and have included single agent and combination agent studies. After successful Phase II clinical trials, midostaurin was found to prolong survival of FLT3-mutated AML patients when combined with conventional induction and consolidation therapies in a randomized Phase III clinical trial.[6] On April 28, 2017, midostaurin was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed AML who are positive for oncogenic FLT3, in combination with chemotherapy.[7] The drug is approved for use with a companion diagnostic, the LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay, which is used to detect the FLT3 mutation in patients with AML.

    Systemic mastocytosis[edit | edit source]

    Over 95% of people with adult onset systemic mastocytosis and approximately 40% of children with cutaneous mastocytosis are positive for the D816V c-Kit activating mutation, which renders c-Kit resistant to currently available tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Midostaurin is an investigational treatment in patients with advanced forms of systemic mastocytosis and D816V c-Kit mutation with a subset of patients achieving clinical response. In an open-label study of patients with mastocytosis-related organ damage (89 eligible patients meeting inclusion for the primary efficacy population), midostaurin showed efficacy in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis, including the highly fatal variant mast cell leukemia.[8]

    Dosage[edit | edit source]

    For AML it is taken at a dose of 50 mg twice per day for two weeks every 4 weeks.[2] For mastocytosis it is used at a dose of 100 mg twice per day.[2]

    Side effects[edit | edit source]

    Common side effects include immune system related problems (fever, febrile neutropenia), blood clotting problems (bruising, nosebleed), and unspecific symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and headache. Upper respiratory tract infections can be dangerous.[9]

    Chemistry[edit | edit source]

    It is a semi-synthetic derivative of staurosporine, an alkaloid from the bacterium Streptomyces staurosporeus.

    History[edit | edit source]

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[10]
