Venetoclax and Dexamethasone for Newly Diagnosed Light-Chain Amyloidosis with Translocation (11;14)

Venetoclax Combined with Dexamethasone for Newly Diagnosed Light-Chain Amyloidosis Patients with Translocation (11;14): a Multicenter Phase 2 Study

Venetoclax is considered as a promising agent for light-chain (AL) amyloidosis due to the high percentage of t(11;14). Several retrospective studies showed venetoclax-based therapy could induce rapid and profound hematologic response in AL patients with favorable safety profile. As an oral agent with encouraging data, it is worth to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in untreated AL amyloidosis patients.
