Description
Six children with relapsed or refractory FLT3-ITD-positive AML received initial therapy with sorafenib (alone or in combination with clofarabine and cytarabine). Four of the patients initially achieved morphological complete remission (bone marrow blasts <5%), however, 3 patients developed resistance within 14-37 weeks and and 1 required a bone marrow transplant. Two patients did not have any clinical response to sorafenib upon initial treatment.
