In treatment-naïve elderly patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy (IC), reducing venetoclax (VEN) exposure to 7 days concurrently with azacitidine (AZA) (7+7 scheme) led to similar response rates as the recommended protocol of 28 days of VEN plus 7 days of AZA (28+7 scheme), a retrospective study has shown.
