Our data indicate that a high dose of ARAC plus idarubicin consolidation exerts a strong anti-leukemic effect in NPM1-mutated patients both with the FLT3 wild-type and mutated AML, while in the NPM1 wild-type and FLT3-mutated, the therapeutic effect remains unsatisfactory. Here, FLT3 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
