The study authors conclude that their updated analyses show that venetoclax in combination with gilterinib (Ven + Gilt) achieved high rates of mCRc in patients with heavily pretreated and prior TKI-exposed R/R FLT3mut+ AML with encouraging molecular clearance rates. Using similar response criteria to previously studied FLT3mut+ populations, the high mCRc rate with Ven + Gilt reported here suggests strong antileukemic activity. Cytopenias were prominent but manageable. Updated follow-up and molecular data are presented at the meeting.

The study authors conclude that ivosidenib plus venetoclax plus/minus azacitidine (IVO+VEN +/- AZA) is an effective treatment regimen in patients with IDH1+ myeloid malignancies. The combination therapy is associated with an acceptable and expected toxicity profile with notable efficacy and high rates of MRD-negative CRc in AML.

The study authors conclude that patients with best response of CRc who achieved MRD<10-3response with venetoclax plus azacitidine treatment had a longer duration of response, overall and event-free survival than patients who were CRc and MRD positive.

 

The study authors conclude that Olutasidenib induced durable complete remissions (CR) in a subset of high-risk R/R mIDH1 AML pts. TI was achieved in all response groups, particularly in those achieving CR. Clinical benefit, as evidenced by duration of response and overall survival, extended to patients who responded but didn’t achieve CR/partial hematologic recovery. A favorable tolerability profile was observed; additional analyses of safety and efficacy are presented.

(S139) FLAVIDA CHEMOTHERAPY INDUCES MRD-NEGATIVE REMISSION IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA

Presenter: Rabia Shahswar, Germany

The study authors conclude that short-term venetoclax can be safely administered in combination with intensive chemotherapy in younger fit adults with AML with tolerable safety-profile, a high ORR rate of 73%, MRD negativity in 47% of responding patients, and promising survival in MRD negative patients.
