摘要
Relapse at the central nervous system (CNS) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carries a dismal prognosis. Treatment options are limited to intrathecal therapy, high-dose cytarabine, high-dose methotrexate, and radiotherapy. Novel strategies are needed. Venetoclax has recently been approved by the FDA, in combination with hypomethylating agents or low-dose cytarabine, for elderly adults or patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy affected by AML. However, little is known on its efficacy in patients with leptomeningeal involvement. Here, we present a case of a 52-year-old patient affected by AML relapsed at CNS after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation who was treated with venetoclax. We evaluated the concentration of the drug in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by HPLC MS/MS method on three different occasions to verify the penetration of the drug through the brain–blood barrier and we observed that the concentration in CSF was similar to the IC50 established in vitro.
