Gilteritinib-associated hand-foot syndrome: a novel dermatologic reaction in refractory FLT3 Acute myeloid leukemia.
Article in Leukemia research reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveSecond generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as gilteritinib, characterized by minimal EGFR and absent VEGFR inhibition, are in theory associated with low dermatologic toxicity. This case report brings to the awareness that the opposite may occur and emphasize the need for attentive pharmacovigilance.
methodsAn elderly woman presented to us with relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3-ITD AML following azacytidine treatment, received single-agent TKI gilteritinib, selected for its greater potency and specificity. Unexpectedly, she developed a severe hand-foot skin lesion requiring treatment interruption.
resultsAfter receiving two cycles of gilteritinib 120mg orally daily without therapeutic response, the dose was escalated to 200mg in accordance with RCT guidelines. After one week, the patient developed dry skin and mild erythema of the hands and feet, which progressed to a severe hand-foot syndrome the following week.
conclusionThis unprecedented adverse event reporting suggests that the FLT3-specific TKI gilteritinib can induce cutaneous toxicities, through dose-dependent inhibition of proangiogenic pathways.
