Abstract
Translocation t(6;11) occurs in approximately 5% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) corresponding to 11q23/mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) rearrangement. The AF6 gene on chromosome 6q27 is the fusion partner of the MLL gene on 11q23 in t(6;11), which results in a poor prognosis. The case of a patient with 11q23/MLL-rearranged AML who successfully underwent a third allogeneic stem cell transplantation after treatment with azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN) is presented in this article. This report suggests that a combination of AZA and VEN is an effective therapeutic approach for relapsed and refractory MLL-rearranged AML.
