What does it do?

Gilteritinib fumarate is a targeted anticancer agent used for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia with specific genetic mutations. This agent selectively inhibits proteins involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. It is primarily prescribed for patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia.

Gilteritinib fumarate works by blocking the activity of specific enzymes within cancer cells, thereby disrupting the signaling that allows cancer cells to proliferate and survive. This helps to suppress the growth of cancer cells and induce their death. It has relatively less impact on normal cells.

Good to know
