Italian Observational Study of Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treated With Small Molecule Inhibiting BCL-2

In phase 1-2 studies, anti BCL-2 treatment has shown evidence of anti-leukemic activity as single agent and in combination and proved to be particularly effective in providing a deep response, with an acceptable safety profile. Since 2015 anti-BCL2 treatment has been available in other indications and in off-label use in Italy.

In this non-interventional retrospective study, toxicity, effectiveness and costs assessment data will be collected from patients with AML, to improve the knowledge about anti-BCL2 treatment in clinical practice. Collecting and analyzing data from a large unbiased patient-set receiving anti-BCL2, would enlarge our knowledge on therapies inhibiting BCL2.

This is a multi-center retrospective observational study. Every patient with AML treated with anti-BCL2 treatment outside clinical trial from 1st January 2015 up to 01 April 2019 may be included in this study. No additional drug/procedures/patient visits in comparison with the usual clinical practice are planned for the study. The decision to treat patient with ant-BCL2 inhibitors is made by the physician based on his clinical judgment, independently from the decision to include the patient in this study. As this study is intended to be purely observational (not interventional), the patient's medical records will be the source of all data to be recorded. No additional procedures/patient visits should be planned in the study with respect to clinical practice.

Clinical data (treatment, survival, adverse events) will be collected for patients enrolled.
