ASH Expert Insights | Professor Wang Jianxiang: Dual Drivers of FLT3 Ligand and Microclones Enable Precision Upgrading in FLT3-ITD–Negative AML

At the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), research in FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia (AML) delivered important advances for clinical practice. Notably, the latest findings from the QUIWI study series further revealed that, among FLT3-ITD–negative patients, FLT3 ligand (FL) levels and microclonal status can help identify prognostic heterogeneity, offering a new paradigm for dynamic monitoring and risk-adapted intervention. On site, Oncology Frontier · Hematology Frontier invited Professor Wang Jianxiang from the Institute of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, to discuss key advances, including the prognostic value of FLT3 ligand, the clinical relevance of microclonal detection, and the therapeutic potential of quizartinib, with the aim of building a comprehensive FLT3-marker–based management framework to advance AML care toward greater precision and dynamism.
