Venetoclax and azacitidine followed by allogeneic transplant results in excellent outcomes and may improve outcomes versus maintenance therapy among newly diagnosed AML patients older than 60

Daniel A. Pollyea et al.

Summary: The combination therapy of venetoclax and azacitidine has shown promising results in treating AML patients over 60 years old, with potential for improved outcomes compared to maintenance therapy. In particular, allogeneic stem cell transplant following ven/aza treatment in newly diagnosed AML patients shows excellent outcomes, suggesting the need for further investigation to refine timing and patient selection for transplant.

Venetoclax and navitoclax in Combination with Chemotherapy in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

Vinod A. Pullarkat et al.

Summary: In this phase I study, combining venetoclax with low-dose navitoclax and chemotherapy showed good tolerability and promising efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Responses were observed in patients across histologic and genomic subtypes, even in those who had failed stem cell transplant therapies.

Duration of cytopenias with concomitant venetoclax and azole antifungals in acute myeloid leukemia

Caitlin R. Rausch et al.

Summary: Venetoclax combined with a hypomethylating agent has shown improved survival in elderly AML patients, but can lead to prolonged neutropenia and thrombocytopenia when combined with azole antifungals. Recovery times for neutrophils and platelets were similar in patients receiving azoles, but significantly longer for platelet recovery. Posaconazole and voriconazole did not significantly impact recovery times, suggesting safety of these combinations during treatment.

Single-center experience with venetoclax combinations in patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed AML evolving from MPNs

Lucia Masarova et al.

Summary: In patients with acute myeloid leukemia evolving from myeloproliferative neoplasms, the clinical activity of the B-cell lymphoma 2 inhibitor venetoclax remains to be determined. Venetoclax-based regimens showed modest short-lived responses in newly diagnosed patients, while no formal responses were seen in relapsed/refractory patients. However, significant treatment-associated hematologic toxicity and mortality were observed, highlighting the urgent need for additional treatment options for these patients.

Duration of cytopenias with concomitant venetoclax and azole antifungals in acute myeloid leukemia

Caitlin R. Rausch et al.

Summary: Background: Venetoclax combined with HMA improves survival in elderly patients with AML. However, this treatment can lead to profound neutropenia, requiring antifungal prophylaxis. Limited data exist on the outcomes of patients receiving VEN, HMA, and azoles.

Venetoclax-containing regimens in acute myeloid leukemia

Ibrahim Aldoss et al.

Summary: The combination of Venetoclax with hypomethylating agents or low-dose cytarabine has shown exceptional activity in elderly and unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML. The safety profile of Venetoclax-based regimens is favorable, even in frail participants, transforming the landscape of AML therapy in elderly patients. Ongoing studies are investigating the use of Venetoclax in frontline therapy for younger patients as well as in relapsed/refractory AML patients.
