Treatment of Relapse after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Venetoclax, Hypomethylating Agents and DLI - a Retrospective Multi…
2019
Introduction: The most common cause of treatment failure after allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) is relapse. The combination of venetoclax and the hypomethylating agents (HMA) azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC) have shown promising efficacy in elderly patients with AML. We here present clinical data on 32 patients, who were treated with an HMA/venetoclax combination therapy (HMAClax) for relapse of a myeloid malignancy after aHSCT, collected retrospectively from 11 German centers. Results: Sixteen patients (50%) were male, median age was 54 years (30.8-71.5). Diagnoses at aHSCT were 25 AML (17 primary, 8 emerging from MDS, CMML or OMF), 5 MDS, 1 CMML and one atypi…
Final Overall Survival Results from BELLINI, a Phase 3 Study of Venetoclax or Placebo in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Re…

Abstract Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogenous cancer of terminally differentiated plasma cells that typically express elevated levels of antiapoptotic proteins, such as BCL-2. Venetoclax (Ven), a highly selective, potent, oral BCL-2 inhibitor, induces apoptosis in MM cells, and when combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone showed promising efficacy in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM; Moreau et al. Blood. 2017;130:2392-2400). The Phase 3 BELLINI study primary analysis showed significantly improved response rates and progression-free survival (PFS) in pts with RRMM treated with Ven added to bortezomib and dexamethasone versus placebo (Pbo); however, increased…

Background: Venetoclax (Ven) is a highly selective, potent, oral BCL-2 inhibitor that induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells and has shown synergistic activity with the proteasome inhibitor (PI) bortezomib (B) and dexamethasone (d). Ven ± d had encouraging clinical efficacy in both t(11;14) MM and in pts irrespective of genetic background when administered with B, with a tolerable safety profile in Phase 1 studies. Here, we provide updated efficacy and safety of Ven vs placebo (Pbo) + Bd in pts with relapsed/refractory (RR) MM, including subgroup analyses, in the BELLINI study. Methods: BELLINI (NCT02755597) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study of Ven or Pbo…
Use of Venetoclax in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia: The Pethema Registry Experience
2020
Introduction The prognosis of patients with recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML-RR) is very poor, especially if they are not candidates for allogeneic transplantation (allo-SCT) after a second complete response (CR). Venetoclax, a potent and selective inhibitor of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-2, was approved by the FDA in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) or low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) in patients with newly diagnosed AML of age ≥ 75 years, or who have comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive chemotherapy. However, the evidence in AML-RR patients is still scarce. For this reason, the objective of our study is to retrospectively analyze the efficacy of th…
