It was developed by Astellas Pharma.
In April 2018, Astellas filed a new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration for gilteritinib for the treatment of adult patients with FLT3 mutation–positive relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).[3]
In November 2018, the FDA approved gilteritinib for treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a FLT3 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.[4] The recommended dose of gilteritinib is 120 mg orally once daily.[5]
Gilteritinib was granted orphan drug status by the U.S. FDA, the European Commission (EC) and the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, for some AML patients.[6]
