Treatment of Systemic Mastocytosis with an Associated Myeloid Neoplasm and KIT D816V Mutation
Clinical Scenario
This protocol addresses patients with systemic mastocytosis who also carry an associated myeloid neoplasm (AMN) — such as acute leukemia — and harbour the KIT D816V mutation. The co-occurrence of SM and a myeloid neoplasm defines a distinct, high-risk clinical entity.
c-KIT D816V mutation
Key Consideration
Treatment of SM-AMN primarily targets the AMN component, particularly when an aggressive disease such as acute leukemia is present. The nature and severity of the myeloid neoplasm drives the treatment strategy.
Treatment Approach (partial)
A transplant-based approach is considered in eligible patients when the associated myeloid neoplasm warrants it. Further eligibility criteria, sequencing, and the complete evidence-based regimen are detailed in the full protocol…
