VENCLYXTO is the first approved BCL-2 inhibitor for the treatment of AML1
VENCLYXTO plus azacitidine demonstrated a 5.1-month increase in median overall survival vs AZA alone1*
VENCLYXTO plus low-dose cytarabine showed a 3.1-month increase in median overall survival vs LDAC alone1†

*VIALE-A was a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLYXTO plus AZA in patients with newly diagnosed AML who were ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. The median overall survival with VENCLYXTO plus AZA was 14.7 months (95% CI: 11.9-18.7) vs 9.6 months for AZA alone (95% CI: 7.4-12.7) (HR=0.66 [95% CI: 0.52-0.85; P<0.001]).1
†VIALE-C was a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLYXTO plus LDAC in patients with newly diagnosed AML who were ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. The median overall survival with VENCLYXTO plus LDAC was 7.2 months (95% CI: 5.6-10.1) vs 4.1 months for LDAC alone (95% CI: 3.1-8.8) (HR=0.75 [95% CI: 0.52-1.07; P=0.114]).1

VENCLYXTO: a first-in-class, potent, and selective BCL-2 inhibitor that induces apoptosis in AML cells
VENCLYXTO targets a key hallmark of cancer by inducing apoptosis1
The overexpression of pro-survival BCL-2 proteins is an important driver of AML cell survival.2-4
- In an in vitro study, the majority of AML samples were found to have overexpressed, pro-survival BCL-2 family proteins2
- AML cells have been shown to be dependent on BCL-2 and co-dependent on other BCL-2 family members (eg, MCL-1 and BCL-XL) for survival3,4
Overexpressed BCL-2 allows AML cells to evade apoptosis by sequestering pro-apoptotic proteins, preventing them from signaling the cell to die.1,5,6
text
VENCLYXTO selectively binds to BCL-2 to displace pro-apoptotic proteins, triggering events that lead to apoptosis.1,6
AML=Acute myeloid leukemia; MCL-1=Myeloid cell leukemia-1; BCL-XL=B-cell lymphoma-extra large; HMA=hypomethylating agent; LDAC=low-dose cytarabine.
VENCLYXTO has been found in vitro to work synergistically in
combination with HMAs and with LDAC7,8
