Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This prospective trial investigates the effect of sorafenib maintenance therapy in FLT3-ITD AML patients after allo-HSCT in terms of gut microbiome.

Detailed Description

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used as a potentially curative therapy for patients with hematopoietic malignancies. Sorafenib, an inhibitor of multiple kinases including FLT3, has shown promising activity in FLT3-ITD-positive AML. Our previous studies demonstrated that sorafenib maintenance post-transplantation could improve the outcomes of FLT3-ITD-positive AML patients, which is associated with sorafenib enhancing the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. Recent studies show that gut microbiome is associated with graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and GVL. However, the exact mechanism of sorafenib enhancing the GVL effect and the influence of gut microbiome on sorafenib maintenance after allo-HSCT remain unknown.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
sorafenib group

FLT3-ITD+ AML patients who receive sorafenib maintenance therapy after Allo-HSCT. Sorafenib will be used from day 30 to 180 post-transplantation. The initial dose of sorafenib is 400 mg orally twice daily and is adjusted in case of suspected toxicity or resistance (dose range, 200-800 mg daily).

Drug: Sorafenib
The initial dose of sorafenib is 400 mg orally twice daily and is adjusted in case of suspected toxicity or resistance (dose range, 200-800 mg daily).
