[Novel Strategies to Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia].

The treatment algorithm is based on patient-related and disease-specific factors, such as patient age and fitness as well as AML molecular profile. Younger patients considered fit for intensive chemotherapy receive 1-2 courses of induction therapy ("7+3" regimen, eg. cytarabine/daunorubicin, or CPX-351 for patients with myelodysplasia-related AML or therapy-related AML). For CD33+ patients or those with evidence of an mutation "7+3" in combination with Gemtuzumab-Ozogamicin (GO) or Midostaurin is recommended, respectively. For consolidation, patients receive either high-dose chemotherapy (± GO/± Midostaurin) or undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), based on ELN risk stratification. In some cases, maintenance therapy with oral azacytidine or inhibitor is indicated. Patients experiencing relapse should receive chemotherapy-based re-induction therapy or, in case of an mutation, Gilteritinib and subsequently undergo allogeneic HCT. For older patients or those considered unfit for intensive therapy, azacytidine in combination with Venetoclax is a promising novel treatment strategy. Although not yet approved by the European Medical Agency (EMA), for patients with IDH1 or mutations treatment with the IDH1 and IDH2 inhibitors Ivosidenib and Enasidenib should be considered.
