摘要

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) harboring the SET-NUP214 fusion constitutes an exceedingly rare and aggressive subtype. While this genetic aberration is a well-recognized hallmark of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), its clinical implications and therapeutic landscape in the B-cell lineage remain largely elusive. Herein, we report the first documented case of relapsed/refractory SET-NUP214-positive B-ALL achieving a successful response to a salvage regimen combining venetoclax with Hyper-CVAD chemotherapy.

A 25-year-old male presented with profound cytopenias and 95.5% bone marrow blasts. Flow cytometric analysis characterized the malignant population as pro-B-ALL, with immunophenotypic expression of CD34, CD38, HLA-DR, CD7, and CD58, alongside partial CD19 and cCD79a, and myeloid co-expression (CD13/CD33). Molecular profiling identified the SET-NUP214 fusion transcript, accompanied by concurrent JAK3, PHF6, and PTPN11 mutations. The patient experienced a short-term relapse following induction remission with the VDLP regimen, and subsequent re-induction with the VDEP regimen failed. Subsequently, MRD-negative remission was achieved after adding venetoclax during the mid-course of Hyper-CVAD-A chemotherapy. This deep response facilitated a successful bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with the patient maintaining sustained remission for 24 months post-transplant. Our findings suggest that venetoclax-based combinations may provide a potent reinduction strategy for refractory SET-NUP214-positive ALL, underscoring BCL-2 inhibition as a pivotal therapeutic intervention for this high-risk genomic subset.
