Case Report: Targeting the Achilles’ heel of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma

To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful treatment of refractory MEITL with a venetoclax-containing regimen. This case validates BCL-2 as a actionable therapeutic target in MEITL. Future efforts should focus on optimizing combination partners for venetoclax to improve efficacy and tolerability. The rationale for exploring venetoclax as post-transplant maintenance therapy in MEITL is also discussed.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful treatment of refractory MEITL with a venetoclax-containing regimen. This case validates BCL-2 as a actionable therapeutic target in MEITL. Future efforts should focus on optimizing combination partners for venetoclax to improve efficacy and tolerability. The rationale for exploring venetoclax as post-transplant maintenance therapy in MEITL is also discussed.
