Venetoclax-Based Regimens in Newly Diagnosed FLT3-Mutated Older or Unfit Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Comparative and Single-Arm Outcomes.

Older or medically unfit patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes with hypomethylating agent (HMA) monotherapy. On current evidence, triplets are a promising biologically rational strategy requiring direct randomized validation against the contemporary VEN-HMA standard.
