Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Safety Events (Part 1, Japan Only)
Percentage of Safety Events, defined as death or serious adverse event leading to treatment discontinuation that occurs on or before Day 21 of the first Consolidation cycle. This was determined by the Independent Safety Committee (ISC) to be definitely or probably related to midostaurin. Percentage was calculated based on the percentage of subjects with safety event out of 3 evaluable subjects in Part 1.
up to Day 21 of the first Consolidation cycle; cycle = 28 days
Event Free Survival (EFS) (Part 2 - Randomized, Controlled)
Event Free survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization until an EFS event is observed. An EFS event is defined as a failure to obtain a complete remission (CR) within an induction 2, relapse after CR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy based on EFS of midostaurin versus placebo in combination with daunorubicin/cytarabine induction, with high-dose cytarabine consolidation, and with midostaurin single agent continuation therapy in newly diagnosed patients with FLT3-mutated AML.
up to 3 years after last patient started treatment
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Overall Survival
up to 3 years after last patient started treatment
Percentage of Participants With Complete Remission (CR)

Percentage of Participants With Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR)
up to 3 years after last patient started treatment
Pharmakinetics (PK) for Midostaurin: AUClast & AUC0-t
Induction Phase: Pre-dose and 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours post dose in Cycle 1 Day 8
Pharmakinetics (PK) for Midostaurin: Cmax
Induction Phase: Pre-dose and 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours post dose in Cycle 1 Day 8

Study Arms (2)
Midostaurin
EXPERIMENTALPatients took study drug on day 8-21 during induction and consolidation phase; then on days 1-28 for 12 cycles in the continuation (post consolidation) phase.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORPatients took placebo on day 8-21 during induction and consolidation phase; then on days 1-28 for 12 cycles in the continuation (post consolidation) phase.
Interventions
Midostaurin 50 mg \[two 25 mg capsules\] were administered twice per day by mouth on day 8-21 during induction and consolidation phase; then on days 1-28 for 12 cycles in the continuation (post consolidation) phase.
Placebo, two capsules, were administered twice per day by mouth on day 8-21 during induction and consolidation phase; then on days 1-28 for 12 cycles in the continuation (post consolidation) phase.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of AML (≥ 20% blasts in the bone marrow based on WHO 2016 classification). Patients with APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia) with PML-RARA are not eligible
- Documented presence of an ITD and/or TKD activating mutation in the FLT3 gene, as determined by analysis in a Novartis designated laboratory An exception will be patients who are enrolled into the part 1 in Japan, who may be treated with midostaurin irrespective of AML FLT3 genotype.
- Patients must meet the following laboratory value criteria that indicate adequate organ function at the screening visit:
- Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, except in the setting of isolated Gilbert syndrome
- Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN
- Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN
- Suitability for intensive chemotherapy in the judgment of the investigator
You may not qualify if:
- Neurologic symptoms suggestive of CNS leukemia unless CNS leukemia has been excluded by a lumbar puncture. Patients with CSF fluid positive for AML blasts are not eligible
- Developed therapy-related AML after prior radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy for another cancer or disorder
- Known hypersensitivity to midostaurin, cytarabine or daunorubicin or to any of the excipients of midostaurin/placebo, cytarabine or daunorubicin
- Abnormal chest X-ray unless the abnormality represents a non-active, or non-clinically significant finding, such as scarring (subjects with controlled non active lung infection are eligible)
- Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that might alter significantly the absorption of midostaurin
- Cardiac or cardiac repolarization abnormality
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
- Women of child-bearing potential, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 4 months after stopping medication
