Immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is a disease with limited treatment options due to the frailty of patients caused by organ damage. Since the clonal plasma cells often contain the cytogenetic aberration t(11;14), the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax is suggested to have a role in the treatment of AL. Here, we report of a heart-transplanted patient, refractory to multiple therapies, reaching a rapid complete response with single-agent venetoclax.
免疫球蛋白轻链淀粉样变(AL)是一种疾病,由于器官损伤导致患者虚弱,治疗选择有限。由于克隆性浆细胞通常含有细胞遗传学异常 t(11;14),因此 Bcl-2 抑制剂 venetoclax 被认为在 AL 的治疗中具有作用。在这里,我们报告了一例心脏移植患者,对多种治疗方法均耐药,用单药 venetoclax 达到快速完全缓解。
