Venetoclax-based salvage in multiple myeloma with (11;14) translocation after suboptimal response to first-line therapy

INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma is one of the most common hematologic malignancies, with approximately 400 patients diagnosed in Hungary annually. Novel therapies emerging in the last decade have made a great impact on most patients' survival, however, those responding poorly to standard first-line therapy and failing to proceed to stem cell transplantation face a dire prognosis. Venetoclax, a selective Bcl-2 inhibitor has been shown very effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory t(11;14) patients, but there are only a few studies about its safety and efficacy when used as salvage in the second line.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to analyze the data of t(11;14) patients treated with venetoclax salvage at our clinic and to evaluate its efficacy.

METHOD: Between 2017 and 2021, 13 patients received venetoclax therapy at our clinic after suboptimal response to frontline treatment, whose data we analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS: Adverse prognostic markers were very prevalent in our group, 4 of our patients had del(17p), 5 had amp(1q21) and 6 had stage 3. Nevertheless, all 13 patients responded well to venetoclax therapy, with 6 reaching very good partial response and 7 complete response. All eligible patients (10) could proceed to transplantation. After median 38 months follow up, neither median progression-free, nor median overall survival was reached, since only 3 patients progressed and 1 died.

CONCLUSION: We have shown that when salvage is needed for t(11;14) patients who respond suboptimally to standard frontline therapy, venetoclax is a remarkably good option. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(23): 894-899.
