Used For:
Venclexta is an oral anticancer medication that works by inhibiting the protein BCL-2, which helps cancer cells survive. It is used to treat certain types of blood cancers, including:
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Used in adult patients with or without the deletion of chromosome 17p.
- Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL): A type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Often in combination with other therapies for patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Venclexta include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Fever
- Decreased appetite
Serious side effects may include:
- Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): A potentially life-threatening condition caused by the rapid breakdown of cancer cells. Signs include kidney problems, low blood calcium, or elevated potassium and uric acid levels.
- Neutropenia: A significant decrease in white blood cells, increasing infection risk.
- Infections: Serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can occur.
- Anemia or thrombocytopenia: Low red blood cell or platelet levels may lead to fatigue, bruising, or bleeding.
Precautions:
- Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): Patients with a high tumor burden are at increased risk. Preventive measures, such as hydration and medications like allopurinol, may be prescribed.
- Blood Counts: Regular blood tests are essential to monitor white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels.
- Infection Risk: Venclexta weakens the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections. Promptly report symptoms such as fever, chills, or unusual fatigue.
- Drug Interactions: Avoid medications or substances that inhibit or induce CYP3A enzymes (e.g., certain antifungals, antibiotics, or grapefruit), as they can alter Venclexta levels.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Venclexta can harm an unborn baby and should not be used during pregnancy. Effective contraception is recommended during treatment and for a period after discontinuation. Breastfeeding is not advised during treatment.
- Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver conditions, as these may affect drug metabolism and clearance.
