Venetoclax with low-dose cytarabine, a forgotten combination in patients with acute myeloid leukemia ineligible for intensive chemotherapy: a systematic review.
Background: Based on the VIALE-A and VIALE-C studies, the Food and Drug Administration approved venetoclax in 2020 in combination with azacitidine or low-dose cytarabine for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. After the publication of these studies, venetoclax/azacitidine was assumed to be superior to venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine; however, these studies were not designed to demonstrate superiority between these combinations. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to describe overall survival, complete remission rate, and composite complete remission rate to assess response of these two regimens in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
Materials and methods: The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for retrospective studies and complete remission, composite complete remission, and overall survival rates were recorded.
Results: Only 11 of the 815 publications identified were eligible to be included n this review, ten studies evaluated the venetoclax/azacitidine combination and one study evaluated the venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine combination. The median overall survival for venetoclax/azacitidine was 10.75 months, whereas for venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine the median overall survival had not been reached at the time of publication. Composite complete remission was 63.3 % for venetoclax/azacitidine and 90 % for venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine. Adverse events were similar for both combinations.
Conclusions: A limited number of studies investigating the venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine combination exist. Based on the available data, the superiority of venetoclax/azacitidine over venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine cannot be assumed for all acute myeloid leukemia patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Venetoclax/low-dose cytarabine can still be considered as an option for the drug combinations currently under investigation.
