Article Synopsis
- Elderly AML patients (60-75 years) with poor-risk cytogenetics typically have poor outcomes with intensive chemotherapy, but the effectiveness of Venetoclax (VEN) combined with other treatments is being studied.
- A study at Institut Paoli Calmettes involved comparing 26 patients treated with VEN to a historical cohort of 90 patients treated with intensive chemotherapy, focusing on treatment response and overall survival rates.
- The findings suggested that VEN showed promising results, with a 69% composite response rate and a median overall survival of 7.9 months, making it a potential alternative to intensive chemotherapy for high-risk elderly patients.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of venetoclax-azacitidine (VEN-AZA) with AZA in the real-life for patients with first relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (R/R AML).
Methods: We retrospectively analysed R/R AML patients treated with VEN-AZA at the Institut Paoli Calmettes between September 2020 and February 2022. We compared them to a historical cohort of patients treated with AZA between 2010 and 2021.
Venetoclax (VEN) belongs the BH3-mimetic class that selectively targets BCL-2, activating apoptosis. The combination of VEN and azacitidine (AZA) has changed the paradigm of treatment of newly diagnosed (ND) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. There is scarce evidence for the use of VEN-AZA for relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML.

We aimed at determining the impact of herpesviridae reactivation/infection in this population.
Material And Methods: We performed a single center retrospective study including all consecutive adult hematology patients admitted to our comprehensive cancer center ICU on a 6-year period.
