Efficacy and Safety of Venetoclax Combined With BEAM Pretreatment in Autologous Transplantation for DLBCL

Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a group of highly heterogeneous aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas with different pathogenesis and clinical prognosis. Despite the survival benefits of Anthracycline-based chemotherapy bridging autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), 30%-40% of DLBCL patients fail to respond to treatment and relapse or die within a short period of time. A phase I/II trial of Venetoclax combined with BEAM as a pretreatment regimen for ASCT of high-risk and relapsed/refractory lymphoma was presented at the ASH Meeting 2021 (NCT03583424), and it studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) before stem cell transplant in treating participants with relapsed or refractorynon-Hodgkin lymphoma. The results confirmed that Venetoclax has a good prospect in ASCT.
