Venetoclax plus azacitidine as a bridge treatment to allogeneic stem cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukaemia patients
Venetoklax plus azacitidin jako přemosťující terapie k alogenní transplantaci krvetvorných buněk u nemocných s akutní myeloidní leukémií
Alogenní transplantace krvetvorných buněk je nejúčinnější formou konsolidační terapie u nemocných s akutní myeloidní leukémií. Kombinace venetoklaxu s azacitidinem představuje alternativu indukční terapie s nižší toxicitou a vysokou mírou dosažených remisí umožňující následné provedení transplantace i u nemocných iniciálně nevhodných k intenzivní terapii. Článek popisuje možnosti použití kombinace venetoklaxu s azacitidinem jako tzv. přemosťující (bridge) terapie k alogenní transplantaci krvetvorných buněk.

Overview
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is the most effective form of consolidation therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. The combination of venetoclax and azacitidine represents an alternative to initial therapy with lower toxicity and high rate of achieved remissions, enabling subsequent transplantation even in patients initially unsuitable for intensive therapy. The article describes the possibilities of using the combination of venetoclax and azacitidine as a bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
