Popis: Purpose Although minimal residual disease (MRD) is an established surrogate marker for outcomes following treatment with chemoimmunotherapy, less is known about the value of MRD in chemotherapy-free treatments in the first-line setting. We investigated the prognostic value of MRD detection after a fixed-duration treatment of venetoclax plus obinutuzumab (VenG) with respect to clinical and genetic risk factors and source of material in previously untreated patients (pts) with CLL and coexisting conditions. Methods In this multinational, open-label, Phase 3 trial, 432 previously untreated pts with a Cumulative Illness Rating Scale score >6 and/or an estimated creatinine clearance Results On the basis of the intention-to-treat population (i.e. for the full trial population and irrespective of sample availability), VenG achieved higher rates of undetectable MRD at EOT compared with chlorambucil and obinutuzumab (ClbG) (PB: 75.5% vs. 35.2%, BM: 56.9% vs. 17.1%). In contrast, detectable MRD in PB was found in 19 (8.8%) VenG pts and 103 (47.7%) ClbG pts. Of these, 11 (5.1%) VenG vs. 47 (21.8%) ClbG pts had intermediate MRD at ≥10-4- Conclusion Fixed-duration treatment with VenG achieves unprecedentedly high and sustainable rates of undetectable MRD in patients with previously untreated CLL and coexisting conditions. Findings confirm the prognostic value of MRD assessment at EOT for this chemotherapy-free treatment regimen. Due to high concordance of undetectable MRD in PB and BM in the context of VenG, BM assessments may not be required for these patients.
