Rydapt (Midostaurin) is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Rydapt is used together with other cancer medicines to treat acute myeloid leukemia. Rydapt is also used to treat certain rare blood disorders, including systemic mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis with associated hematological neoplasm, mast cell leukemia or other cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic tissue including mast cell leukemia. Rydapt belongs to a class of medications called protein kinase inhibitors, and works by targeting and inhibiting the abilities of a mutated protein called KIT that causes the increased production and activity of mast cells. People who do not possess the KIT protein may still benefit from the use of this medication.
