Enhanced Treatment for Relapsed T-lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma
Patients with relapsed or refractory T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) often face limited treatment options. A new study evaluated a combination therapy using daratumumab (Dara) and venetoclax (Ven) with aclarubicin, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and etoposide (CAGE) for these patients.
Key Findings:
- The combined therapy showed a promising remission rate of 57.1% and a complete remission rate of 47.6% in patients.
- Patients with the early T-cell precursor (ETP) subtype had a significantly higher remission rate compared to non-ETP patients (100% vs. 44.4%).
- The treatment was well-tolerated by the patients, indicating its safety and tolerability.
This study suggests that the combination of Dara and Ven with the CAGE regimen could offer a valuable treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL, especially for those with the ETP subtype.
