Efficacy of haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation following two courses of venetoclax and azacytidine therapy in patients over 55 years old with acute myelogenous leukemia

The combination of venetoclax (VEN) and azacytidine (AZA) has demonstrated potential in achieving rapid and effective remissions in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a promising potential cure for high-risk AML, as VEN-based therapies have a worse prognosis in elderly patients. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of sequential haploidentical HSCT following two courses of VEN and AZA therapy in patients with AML aged 55 years and older.
