To determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of midostaurin.
Part 2 of the Study:
To evaluate efficacy as measured by the event-free survival (EFS) rate at 24 months of midostaurin in sequential combination with chemotherapy followed by 12 cycles of midostaurin post-consolidation therapy in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML (after all patients have completed at least 24 months of follow-up), and non-censored at the time of HSCT. |

5. Patients with the following laboratory values that indicate adequate organ function:
● Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
● Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN, unless in case of hyperbilirubinemia due to an isolated Gilbert syndrome
● Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min based on “bedside formula” by Schwartz and Work 2009.
● These values should be collected at baseline/before the start of the local chemotherapy and also prior to midostaurin intake.
6. The parent or legal guardian and/or the patient will have provided written informed consent according to local laws and regulations prior to any study related screening procedures being performed.

Administration of intrathecal chemotherapy is permitted before receiving study treatment when administered as part of an initial diagnostic lumbar puncture or thereafter according to local Standard of Care (SOC).
3. Patients who have received any investigational agent (excluding Block 1 local induction chemotherapy) within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is greater, prior to the start of study treatment.
4. Patients who have received prior treatment with a FLT3 inhibitor (including sorafenib, lestaurtinib, or quizartinib).
5. Patients who take strong CYP3A4/5 enzyme inducing drugs or strong CYP3A4/5 enzyme inducing herbal supplements (see protocol Appendix 2) unless they can be discontinued or replaced prior to enrollment.
6. Patients who have had any surgical procedure, excluding central venous catheter placement or other minor procedures (e.g., skin or bone marrow biopsy), within 14 days of start of study treatment.
7. Patients with any other known disease or concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g., cardiovascular disease including congestive heart failure or active uncontrolled infection) that could compromise participation in the study.
8. Presence of clinically active uncontrolled infection including significant bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infection requiring treatment. Infections are considered controlled if appropriate therapy has been instituted and, at the time of screening, no signs of progression are present. Progression of infection is defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis, new symptoms, worsening physical signs; worsening radiography finding in the optional chest X-ray attributable to infection or other clinically significant pulmonary conditions.
