Title:
Efficacy and safety of venetoclax-based regimens for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a systemic review and meta-analysis
Excerpt:This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax-based therapy in RRMM….The pooled ORR, rate of ≧VGPR, and CR for all patients were 59% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 45-71%], 38% (95% CI = 26-51%), and 17% (95% CI = 10-26%), respectively....Venetoclax-based therapy is an effective and safe option for RRMM patients, especially those with t(11;14).

Title:
1864 Impact of Venetoclax Exposure on Clinical Efficacy and Safety in Biomarker-Selected Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma: Implication for Dose Selection
Excerpt:VenDex was only administered in t(11;14)-positive subjects...cumulative logistic regression analyses for clinical response rates (stable disease or better [≥SD], partial response or better [≥PR], and very good partial response or better [≥VGPR]) demonstrated a statistically significant (p<0.05) relationship with venetoclax exposure in the t(11;14)-positive subpopulation.... In t(11;14)-positive R/R MM subjects, higher venetoclax exposures resulted in improved efficacy without an increase in safety events compared to lower exposures.

Venetoclax for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma: Outcomes Outside of Clinical Trials
Excerpt:We reviewed the medical records of relapsed and/or refractory MM patients…The presence of t(11;14) was associated with improved PFS (median 9.7 months vs. 4.2 months, p=0.019) and OS (median not reached vs. 10.8 9 months, p=0.015)….Venetoclax demonstrates encouraging activity in heavily-treated patients with relapsed/refractory MM, particularly t(11;14) patient-population.

Targeting BCL-2 with venetoclax and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory t(11;14) multiple myeloma

Title:
Efficacy of Venetoclax Based Regimens in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Excerpt:The pooled overall response rate (ORR) for all patients who received venetoclax (n=466) was 57% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34-0.77, p<0.01; I2=95%)…VEN is an effective treatment option for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients with t(11:14) translocation. The overall response rate and the duration of response are better in patients with t(11:14).

Title:
VENETOCLAX MONOTHERAPY AND COMBINED WITH DEXAMETHASONE AS TARGETED THERAPY FOR RELAPSED/REFRACTORY T(11;14) MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Excerpt:...pts received Ven once daily as monotherapy (n=30; 300, 600, 900, 1200mg) or Ven 800mg + Dex 40mg (n=20)....On Ven + Dex, ORR was 65% (13/20; 35% had ≥VGPR)...Ven monotherapy and Ven + Dex had tolerable and comparable safety profiles in these heavily pre-treated pts. With ORR of 40% with Ven monotherapy and 65% with Ven + Dex, these results confirm the efficacy of Ven in pts with t(11;14) MM and support ongoing study of Ven + Dex.

Ex Vivo Drug Sensitivity and Functional Genomics Platform Identifies Novel Combinations Targeting Intrinsic and Extrinsic Apoptotic Signaling Pathways in Multiple Myeloma
Excerpt:...t(11;14)-positive MM patient specimens were more sensitive than wildtype to Ven ex vivo (D AUC, -18.6, P=0.002), however MM cells harboring amp(1q) were more resistant than wildtype (D AUC, +5.07, P=0.032), suggesting MCL1 (1q21 gene locus) is a key resistance factor to Ven single-agent activity in MM.
