ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Conventional therapies for primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) are usually ineffective, with a short remission time with the use of multiple myeloma medications, showing aggressiveness of pPCL. B-cell lymphoma-2 inhibitor venetoclax is usually used for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with t(11;14). There are very few studies published on the use of venetoclax in pPCL without t(11;14). Similarly, histone deacetylase inhibitors are considered effective for the treatment of RRMM, but there are no reports on their use in pPCL.
CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old woman with severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, multiple bone destruction, impaired renal function, and 42.7% of peripheral plasma cells is reported. After multiple chemotherapy regimens and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment, the disease progressed again. The patient h ad very good partial response and was maintained for a long time on venetoclax in combination with chidamide and dexamethasone therapy.
CONCLUSION: The success of venetoclax-chidamide-dexamethasone combination therapy in achieving a very good partial response suggested that it can be used for refractory/relapsed pPCL patients who have been exhausted with the use of various drug combinations and had poor survival outcomes.
