Despite High Rates of Remission, Treatment of IDH-Mutant AML with Hypomethylating Agents and Venetoclax Is Associated with Frequent Treatment Delays, Modifications, and Transfusions

Introduction:25-30% of adult patients with AML have mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes, IDH1or IDH2. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) and venetoclax (Ven) is a widely used combination in induction-ineligible patients with IDHmutations. A subset analysis of VIALE-A data showed composite complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) rate of 79% and median overall survival (mOS) of 24.5 months with frontline azacitidine and Ven. IDH1-mutant and IDH2-mutant patients had CR/CRi rates of 66.7% and 86.0%, respectively. IDH1-mutant patients had mOS of 15.2 months and IDH2-mutant patients did not reach mOS. We report a single-center retrospective analysis of HMA/Ven in patients with IDHmutations.
