This is an observational study involving a retrospective and prospective collection of clinical and molecular data regarding patients with AML with FLT3+ mutations
This is an observational study involving a retrospective and prospective collection of clinical and molecular data. Patients will follow their regular diagnostic and clinical practice. Thus, no additional procedure/blood withdrawal will be performed. The study will be conducted as follows: 1. Retrospective phase: clinical and molecular data of AML patients with FLT3+ mutations detected at diagnosis or at any refractory/relapse state will be collected. 2. Prospective phase: clinical and molecular data of each new FLT3+ AML patient identified in participating centers at diagnosis or at any refractory/relapse state will be collected prospectively. Every effort will be done to include all consecutive patients, in order to avoid selection bias. For patients with a mutation found at the time of disease relapse, any effort will be done to collect all the clinical and molecular information since the time of diagnosis. The Primary objective of this study is to analyze how FLT3 mutational status evolve during the management of the disease looking at the percentage of patients with no FLT3 mutations at diagnosis who relapse with a new FLT3 mutation detected, and the percentage of FLT3 positive AML patients that after having obtained a Complete Remission relapse with FLT3 negative. The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the association between different FLT3 mutations and the clinical, molecular and biological information.

Time frame: up to 24 months
evaluation of modifications in terms of quality of life (QoL) of patients with FLT3 mutated AML
scores for each patient and each scale as well as a summary QoL score will be computed according to the EORTC QLQ-C3 (quality of life questionnaire) manual
Time frame: up to 24 months
retrospective collection of surrogate measures of QoL
the surrogate measures of QoL , as the number and days of hospitalizations per patient, number of clinical visits per patient, number of access in Day Hospital and Emergency Care Units per patient, and the use of antalgic drugs and neuro-active drugs, will be expressed in terms of mean values per patient or through proportions
Time frame: up to 24 months
