Title:
Venetoclax and azacitidine induced cytogenetic response in an elderly patient with IDH2- and DNMT3A-mutated refractory acute myeloid leukemia

Excerpt:
A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with pancytopenia and 1.0% blasts in the peripheral blood. The patient was diagnosed with AML with DNMT3A (R882H)- and IDH2 (R172K)-positive myeloblasts...A reinduction therapy with venetoclax and azacitidine (VEN+AZA) was administered and led to a sustained complete response with significantly reduced DNMT3A-mutated blasts. Even 9 months after starting VEN+AZA, the patient is still alive and healthy without AML recurrence. Thus, VEN+AZA therapy may be highly effective for treating IDH2- and DNMT3A-mutated AML in elderly patients.
Secondary therapy:
azacitidine
