Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common and aggressive form of acute leukemia,
with a 5-year survival rate of just 24%. Over a third of all AML patients harbor activating
mutations in kinases, such as the receptor tyrosine kinases FLT3 (receptor-type tyrosine-
protein kinase FLT3) and KIT (mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kit). FLT3 and KIT
mutations are associated with poor clinical outcomes and lower remission rates in response
to standard-of-care chemotherapy. We have recently identified that the core kinase of the …
