12. Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action

Gilteritinib is an inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases including FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). It inhibits FLT3 receptor signaling and proliferation in cells expressing FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations (D835Y and D835H). It also inhibits AXL kinase.

Pharmacokinetics

Tmax: 4-6 hours. Half-life: approximately 113 hours. Protein binding: 90.7%. Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Fecal excretion (64%), urinary excretion (16%).

14. Clinical Studies

Clinical efficacy and safety data supporting the approval are available in the full prescribing information and from the clinical trials listed below.
