Midostaurin Associated With Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Core-binding Factor Leukemia

The purpose of this single-arm, open label, phase-II trial, is to determine whether the association of Midostaurin to standard induction, consolidation therapy and in maintenance therapy as single agent, is effective in decrease relapse incidence, in patients with CBF-AML. The single-arm, open label, phase-II study is based on data obtained from previous clinical and pre-clinical studies, obtained by use of Midostaurin in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (with or without FLT3 mutations) and in patients with Mast cell disorders (characterized by mutations in the C-KIT gene). The investigators believe that Midostaurin, associated with standard therapy Anthracycline/AraC Induction, to the consolidation regimen with high doses of araC and maintenance therapy to single agent in patients with acute myeloid leukemia core-binding factor can significantly reduce the incidence of recurrence of the disease, occurring in 40-50% of cases treated with standard therapy
