Venetoclax is an oral anticancer drug targeting BCL-2 that promotes apoptosis of tumor cells by inhibiting the activity of BCL-2 protein. In China, venetoclax has been approved for the treatment of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are not candidates for strong induction chemotherapy. The drug was initially used for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and has been progressively applied to a variety of hematological cancers such as multiple myeloma and lymphoma.

Does venetoclax work well?

Clinical trial data from venetoclax have shown that:

3 months after the end of treatment

In the VEN G group, the MRD negative rate reached 91% (122/134), indicating that the vast majority of patients had a significant reduction in the number of CLL cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow in the short period of time after receiving combination therapy, reaching a state of deep remission. This high percentage of MRD negativity shows the robust efficacy of this treatment regimen.

12 months after the end of treatment

The negative rate of MRD in peripheral blood remained at 58% (126/216) in the VEN G group, which was much higher than that in the GClb group (9% (20/216). This suggests that the therapeutic effect of venetoclax plus obinutuzumab persists even long after the end of treatment and is significantly better than that of the control group with obinutuzumab alone.

What are the adverse effects of venetoclax?

Patients should strictly follow the doctor's guidance when using venetoclax, pay attention to the side effects of the drug, according to the drug instructions, the adverse reactions of venetoclax are sorted out as follows:
