| Abstract | Chemotherapy has been the standard of treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With the emergence of new therapies for AML like gemtuzumab-ozogamicin and FLT3 inhibitors, such as sorafenib, midostaurin, and gilteritinib, the optimal dose of chemotherapy and safety profile in different age groups when combined with these new therapies is yet to be established. There are limited data on the treatment of AML by combining intensified daunorubicin (doses of 90 mg/m2) with gemtuzumab-ozogamicin (GO). We report a young adult with favorable-risk AML treated with daunorubicin at a dose of 90 mg/m2 combined with GO, who had a complete response after induction but had a profound nadir of platelet count after induction and consolidation. |
