Venetoclax and Azacitidine in the Treatment of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm Refractory to Conventional Therapy

Cureus. 2022 Dec 29;14(12):e33109. doi: 10.7759/cureus.33109. eCollection 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare and aggressive hematological malignancy associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. No guideline-directed therapy existed until the approval of tagraxofusp in 2018 by the Food and Drug Administration. Multiple clinical trials are undergoing as treatment options continue to evolve. We report a case refractory to tagraxofusp and pivekimab sunirine with subsequent remission achieved on venetoclax and azacitidine therapy.
