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

ABSTRACT: 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 mo
