A Successful Bridge Therapy Combining Hypomethylating Agents with Venetoclax for Adult Patients with Newly Diagnosed or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Recently, the combination of VEN-HMA has been shown to achieve durable responses in patients with both newly diagnosed (ND) and R/R-AML. We retrospectively evaluated the post-allo-HCT outcomes of 50 patients who received VEN-HMA therapy. In total, 10 were ND and 40 were R/R and, at the time of HCT, the median age was 53 years. In the ND- and R/R-AML groups, the percentage of patients who achieved CR/CRi or MLFS was 90% and 92.5%, respectively. In all, after a median follow-up of 13.7 months, the probabilities of overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 1 year were 63.7%, 59.3%, 28.5%, and 12.2%, respectively. In addition, the cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and moderate-severe chronic GVHD at 1 year were 28.4% and 37.4%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the factors associated with a statistically significant impact on OS were VEN-HMA cycle (p = 0.021), ELN risk group (p = 0.041), and the response to VEN-HMA therapy before allo-HCT (p = 0.003). Although 80% of our patients had R/R-AML and 30% underwent a second allo-HCT, our data still suggest that allo-HCT following VEN-HMA therapy is a safe and effective treatment option.
