Venetoclax and azacitidine induced cytogenetic response in an elderly patient with IDH2- and DNMT3A-mutated refractory acute myeloid leukemia

The optimal regimen for refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the elderly with good performance status has not been established. A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with pancytopenia and 1.0% blasts in the peripheral blood. The patient was diagnosed with AML with DNMT3A (R882H)- and IDH2 (R172K)-positive myeloblasts. He received a reduced dose of idarubicin and cytarabine therapy. However, induction failure with 20% bone marrow blasts and DNMT3A mutations were observed. A reinduction therapy with venetoclax and azacitidine (VEN+AZA) was administered and led to a sustained complete response with significantly reduced DNMT3A-mutated blasts. Even 9 months after starting VEN+AZA, the patient is still alive and healthy without AML recurrence. Thus, VEN+AZA therapy may be highly effective for treating IDH2- and DNMT3A-mutated AML in elderly patients.
