Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission

For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section.

Treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during the remission phase depends on the subtype of AML and may include the following:

  • Combination chemotherapy.
  • Maintenance therapy with midostaurin, for patients whose AML has a mutated (changed) form of the FLT3 gene.
  • Maintenance therapy with chemotherapy.
  • High-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant using the patient's stem cells.
  • High-dose chemotherapy, with or without radiation therapy, or reduced-intensity therapy, followed by a stem cell transplant using donor stem cells.
