Four (6.1%) patients received “other” treatments including splenectomy for non-CNS EMD, daratumumab to target CD38 expression, B-ALL maintenance chemotherapy, and CNS-directed therapy including radiation.
Treatment intent not indicated; both patients received venetoclax-based combination therapy (eg, with azacitidine).
One patient lost to follow-up, 1 patient with unknown outcome after treatment, therefore n = 69.
“Other” CR inducing regimens include splenectomy for non-CNS EMD, B-ALL maintenance chemotherapy, CNS-directed therapy including radiation and inotuzumab.
One patient lost to follow-up, therefore n = 69.
Three patients died of TRM with disease, 1 died of B-ALL.
