Title:

VEMURAFENIB AS TREATMENT OPTION FOR HAIRY CELL LEUKEMIA WITH DEEP NEUTROPENIA AND INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS

Published date:
05/14/2020
Excerpt:
The diagnosis of HCL was established in accordance with generally accepted clinical and laboratory criteria...PCR analysis of the V600E mutation of the BRAF gene...All 18 patients with prolonged use of vemurafenib ≥ 3 months reached a response - an increase in neutrophils >1,0х109 / l (1,1 - 2,7 х109 / l ), normalization of hemoglobin, increasing of platelet count >100x109 / l, reduction size of the spleen . Then, after 3 months of treatment with vemurafenib, a standard course of cladribine was given, 17 patients achieved complete remission and one patient had good partial remission.

Title:

Acquired Resistance to BRAF Inhibition in Hcl Is Rare and Retreatment with Vemurafenib at Relapse Can Induce High Response Rates: Final Results of a Phase II Trial of Vemurafenib in Relapsed Hcl

Excerpt:
A total of 36 pts were enrolled to the study…The ORR was 86% (31/36 pts), including 33% CR (12/36) and 53% PR (19/36). With a median follow-up of 24 months (range, 1-64 months), 18 pts (50%) experienced relapse….With a longer follow-up duration of up to 64 months, we confirm the high response rates with vemurafenib monotherapy in pts with R/R HCL and a favorable safety profile.

Title:

Low-dose vemurafenib induces complete remission in a case of hairy-cell leukemia with a V600E mutation

Excerpt:
...used vemurafenib to treat a 72-year old patient who presented with a relapse of HCL and the BRAF V600E mutation….inhibition of mutated BRAF by vemurafenib may represent an important therapeutic advancement for the treatment of HCL.

Title:

Successful re-treatment of a relapsed V600E mutated HCL patient with low-dose vemurafenib

Excerpt:
...we present a successful re-treatment schema of a relapsed V600E mutated HCL with low-dose vemurafenib….We also showed that vemurafenib re-treatment of HCL patient experiencing a relapse after a first round of vemurafenib is highly efficient to induce death of leukemic cells and a quick normalization of patient's blood formulation.
