Original Abstract of the Article

Main Research Findings

Midostaurin is a multikinase inhibitor that has shown efficacy and safety in treating various cancers, particularly FLT3-mutated positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and KIT-mutated positive advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM). 6 10 11 12

Reasons for Side Effects

Midostaurin inhibits protein kinases such as FLT3 and KIT to suppress the growth of cancer cells. However, these kinases are also present in normal cells, therefore midostaurin can affect normal cells and cause side effects. 10 8

Common Side Effects

Gastrointestinal

The most common side effect of midostaurin is found in the gastrointestinal system. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain may occur. 5 11 12

Hematopoietic System

Midostaurin may suppress the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, potentially causing side effects such as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. 11

Liver

Midostaurin can increase liver enzyme levels. 11

Countermeasures for Side Effects

Gastrointestinal

Drug therapy such as antiemetics, antidiarrheals, and probiotics is effective for digestive side effects. Dietary therapy and lifestyle improvement may also be effective. 5

Hematopoietic System

Treatment such as blood transfusion and hematopoietic factors is effective for hematopoietic side effects. 5

Liver

If liver enzyme levels are elevated, midostaurin administration may need to be stopped or reduced. 5

Comparison between Studies

Commonalities between Studies

Multiple studies have confirmed the efficacy and safety of midostaurin. 6 10 11 12

Differences between Studies

The efficacy and side effects of midostaurin vary depending on the patient's condition, treatment history, dosage, etc. 6 10 11 12

Precautions for Application in Real Life

It is important to use midostaurin under the guidance of a physician with the appropriate dosage and method of administration. If you experience any side effects, consult your doctor immediately. 5

Limitations of Current Research

Further research is needed on the long-term safety and efficacy of midostaurin. 11

Directions for Future Research

Research is needed on the long-term safety and efficacy of midostaurin, preventive and mitigating measures for side effects, and optimal dosage and method of administration. 5 11 12

Conclusion

Midostaurin is an effective drug for treating FLT3-mutated positive AML and KIT-mutated positive advanced SM, but it is important to be aware of side effects. 6 10 11 12 5

If you are considering taking midostaurin, consult your doctor and understand the risks and benefits of side effects before receiving appropriate treatment.
