Venetoclax Plus Intensified Chemoimmunotherapy as a Bridge to Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Richter Syndrome: Report of Two Cases
2024
Overview
Background: Richter syndrome (RS) represents a major unmet need in the lymphoma field, being refractory to chemoimmunotherapy and targeted agents. The BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in combination with dose-adjusted EPOCH-R chemoimmunotherapy showed promising efficacy in patients affected by RS. However, responses were not durable, suggesting the need for further treatment optimization. Methods: Here, we report two cases of RS achieving long-term complete remission with intensified chemoimmunotherapy (Rituximab-G-MALL B-ALL/NHL2002 regimen) plus venetoclax induction, followed by haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). Venetoclax was given continuously for 14 consecutive days after every Rituximab-G-MALL cycle in off-label use. An accelerated venetoclax rump-up schedule was used in both patients to reach the maximal dose. Maximal venetoclax dose was 300 mg and 400 mg in patient 1 and patient 2, respectively. Results: The combined treatment was well tolerated, with no major infective complications or non-hematological toxicities. In both patients, immunosuppression was discontinued within day 180 after transplant with no graft-versus-host-disease flares. Both patients are alive and in continuous complete remission after 60 and 72 months following allo-HSCT. Conclusions: This report supports the feasibility of a combination treatment with BCL-2 inhibitors and intensive chemoimmunotherapy as a bridge to allo-HSCT in RS.
