Venetoclax-based treatment combinations in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: practice patterns and impact of secondary cytogenetic abnormalities on outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Venetoclax (Ven), a BCL-2 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) harboring a t(11;14) and/or elevated BCL-2 expression. However, data from clinical trial remain inconclusive. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Ven-based therapies in 232 MM patients without concurrent AL amyloidosis treated at Mayo Clinic sites between Jan 2015 and Dec 2023. The median age was 62 years, with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy. Among the cohort, 82% had t(11;14), and elevated BCL-2 expression was identified in 17 of 18 non-t(11;14) patients tested. Ven combinations included Ven-Dex (VenD; 48.3%), Proteasome Inhibitor-Ven (30.2%), and Daratumumab-Ven (19%) with other combinations making up the rest. The overall response ra
