Venetoclax (VEN), a selective BCL-2 inhibitor, has previously been evaluated with bendamustine-based chemoimmunotherapy.

The Phase II PrE0403 study was designed to evaluate intermittent dosing of VEN (10 days per cycle) combined with obinutuzumab and bendamustine (VEN-OB) in untreated FL subjects with high-risk features defined as a FLIPI-1 score of ≥3 and/or high tumor burden by GELF criteria. A total of 56 subjects were planned to be accrued with a goal of having 51 subjects eligible to improve the historical 50% CR rate to 65% with an 85% power and 15% type I error rate. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) expression of 3 antiapoptotic proteins (BCL-xL, MCL-1, and BCL-2) was performed and correlated with clinical outcomes. All 56 subjects were eligible and treated.

However, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events ≥ grade 3 was 83.9% and serious adverse events were seen in 57.1%. After induction, atypical infections, including Grade 5 events, occurred.
