“Analysis of Patients With Monocytic and Monocytic-Like Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Including AML-M4 and AML-M5, Treated With Venetoclax Plus Azacitidine.
Ven–Aza in monocytic AML
CR/CRi: ~60% monocytic versus ~70% non-monocytic
OS: Similar overall (~13–15 mo)
Key driver: Mutations > phenotype
- NPM1+ monocytic → OS 46.3 mo
- N/KRAS+ monocytic → OS 3.4 mo
Biology: ↓BCL2, ↑MCL1 in monocytic AML.”
