The verexpressin f BCL-2 in chrnic lymphcytic leukemia (CLL) tumr cells enhances cell survival and is assciated with resistance t chemtherapy. Venetclax was apprved by the FDA in April 2016 fr the treatment f patients with chrnic lymphcytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletin, as detected by an FDA apprved test, wh have received at least ne prir therapy. The indicatin was apprved under accelerated apprval based n verall respnse rate (ORR), with cntinued apprval cntingent upn verificatin f clinical benefit in a cnfirmatry trial. In June 2018, cnfirmatry data was submitted t the FDA and venetclax was granted full apprval. In additin, based n the results f the MURANO phase 3 randmized cntrlled trial, the FDA-apprved indicatin was expanded t be the treatment f patients with chrnic lymphcytic leukemia (CLL) r small lymphcytic lymphma (SLL), with r withut 17p deletin, wh have received at least ne prir therapy. Venetclax was previusly granted rphan drug designatin by the FDA fr the treatment f CLL in September In Nvember 2018, the FDA apprved the new indicatin f In cmbinatin with azacitidine r decitabine r lw-dse cytarabine fr the treatment f newly-diagnsed acute myelid leukemia (AML) in adults wh are age 75 years r lder, r wh have cmrbidities that preclude use f intensive inductin chemtherapy. Venetclax was previusly granted rphan drug designatin fr the treatment f AML in February Venetclax, as spnsred by the innvatr drug cmpany, als has rphan drug designatins fr the treatment f multiple myelma (August 2016) and mantle cell lymphma (August 2017). Chrnic lymphcytic leukemia/small lymphcytic lymphma (CLL/SLL) is a mature B-cell lymphma that cmprises apprximately 7% f newly diagnsed cases f Nn-Hdgkin s Lymphma (NHL). CLL and SLL are different manifestatin f the same disease and are managed in much the same way. The main difference is that in CLL the abnrmal lymphcytes are fund in bne marrw and bld, while in SLL

2 they are predminately fund in the lymph ndes and bne marrw. The diagnsis f CLL requires the presence f at least 5,000 clnal B-cells/mcL in the peripheral bld as determined by flw cytmetry quantificatin. Cytgenic abnrmalities that can be detected by flurescence in situ hybridizatin (FISH) testing are present in ver 80% f previusly untreated CLL patients. The 17p chrmsme deletin, del(17p) mutatin, which reflects the lss f the TP53 gene, is assciated with the wrst utcmes and pr respnse t chemtherapy. Abut 7% f newly diagnsed patients have a del(17p) mutatin. The treatment ptins fr CLL have changed drastically in the last several decades. The intrductin f mnclnal antibdies targeting cell surface antigens (e.g., CD20, CD52), immunmdulating agents, and, mst recently, nvel small mlecules inhibiting tyrsine kinases and ther prteins, have led t new and mre effective regimens. Recmmended treatments are based n newly diagnsed vs. refractry disease, and the patient s mutatin status, age, and ther cmrbidities. The safety and efficacy f venetclax leading t initial FDA apprval was established in an pen-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial f 106 patients with CLL with del(17p) wh had received at least ne prir therapy. The primary endpint was verall respnse rate (ORR). The median time n treatment at the time f evaluatin was 12.1 mnths (range: 0 t 21.5 mnths). An ORR was bserved in 80.2% (95% CI 71.3 t 87.3%, n=85) f patients, with the majrity achieving partial remissin (69.8%, n=74). Other respnses were as fllws: CR 5.7% (n=6), CRi 1.9% (n=2), and npr 2.38% (n=3). Cnfirmatin f clinical benefit was determined in the randmized MURANO trial f adults with CLL wh had received at least ne line f prir therapy. The cmbinatin f venetclax and rituximab cmpared with bendamustine and rituximab significantly imprved PFS (nt reached vs 17 mnths) and 2-year PFS rate (84.9% vs. 36.3%). The ORR was significantly imprved in the venetclax arm (92.3% vs 72.3%), but the rate f CR plus CRi (8.2% vs 3.6%) was nt. Adverse events were as expected with the fllwing Grade 3 r 4 adverse events in the venetclax and bendamustine arms, respectively; neutrpenia (57.7% vs 38.8%), febrile neutrpenia (3.6% vs 9.6), tumr lysis syndrme (3.1% vs 1.5%), and infusin-related reactin (1.5% vs 5.3%). The Natinal Cmprehensive Cancer Netwrk (NCCN) Guidelines fr CLL/SLL (Versin ) list venetclax in cmbinatin with rituximab (Rituxan) under Preferred regimens fr patients with relapsed r refractry disease with r withut del(17p) mutatin (categry 1 recmmendatins). Fr patients withut a del(17p) mutatin, venetclax mntherapy is listed under Other recmmended regimens as a categry 2A recmmendatin. Fr patients with a del(17p) mutatin, venetclax mntherapy is listed under Preferred regimens as a categry 2A recmmendatin. The NCCN als includes recmmendatins fr tumr lysis syndrme (TLS) prphylaxis and mnitring based n tumr burden when initiating venetclax treatment. The NCCN Guidelines fr B-cell Lymphmas (Versin ) list venetclax mntherapy under Preferred regimen as a categry 2A ptin fr the secnd-line treatment f mantle cell lymphma when there is a shrt respnse duratin t prir chemimmuntherapy (shrter expected median PFS). Venetclax mntherapy is a categry 2A ptin under Other recmmended regimens fr the secnd-line treatment f mantle cell lymphma when there is an extended respnse duratin t prir chemimmuntherapy (lnger expended median PFS). The NCCN Guidelines fr AML (Versin ) list venetclax regimens as categry 2A recmmendatins fr patients 60 years f age r lder in the fllwing scenaris: (1) in cmbinatin with decitabine r azacitidine fr treatment inductin in candidates fr intensive remissin inductin therapy with unfavrable cytgenetic/mlecular markers, antecedent hematlgic disrder, r therapy-related AML; (2) in cmbinatin with decitabine, azacitidine, r lw-dse cytarabine fr treatment inductin when nt a candidate fr intensive remissin inductin therapy r declines intensive therapy, and (3) in cmbinatin with decitabine, azacitidine, r lw-dse cytarabine fr pst-remissin therapy fllwing respnse t previus lwer intensity therapy with the same regimen.

Initiate therapy at 20 mg nce daily fr 7 days, fllwed by a weekly ramp-up dsing schedule t the recmmended daily dse f 400 mg. If being used in cmbinatin with rituximab, rituximab is started after the patient has cmpleted the 5-week dse ramp-up and has received the 400 mg venetclax dse fr 7 days. Rituximab is given n day 1 f each 28-day cycle fr 6 cycles at a dse f 375 mg/m2 IV fr cycle 1 and then 500 mg/m2 IV fr cycles 2 t 6. Patients cntinue venetclax nce daily fr 24 mnths ttal frm cycle 1 day 1 f rituximab. If given as mntherapy, the prduct labeling recmmends that venetclax be taken until disease prgressin r unacceptable txicity is bserved. Tablets shuld be taken rally nce daily with a meal and water.
