Abstract
Dysregulation of BCL-2 family members has been reported in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), with various BH3-dependencies of the leukemic clone. We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory B or T ALL, with ven-chemotherapy or ven-navitoclax combinations, to assess efficacy and safety. Seventeen patients were included in the analysis, median age was 32 years, with 6 B-ALL and 11 T-ALL patients. Nine patients received venetoclax combined with chemotherapy, and 13 patients received venetoclax in combination with navitoclax, vincristine and asparaginase, of which 5 were already exposed to venetoclax in previous lines. ORR was 55% and 46% among the ven-chemotherapy and the ven-navitoclax-chemotherapy, respectively. Most of the responders proceeded to an allogenic bone marrow transplant in both cohorts. The most common adverse effects of the ven-navitoclax combination were infectious complications and hepatotoxicity. Our data demonstrated the possible efficacy of ven-chemotherapy and ven-navitoclax in r/r ALL with moderate toxicity.
