Dacogen/Venclexta not working?

I am 76 and was diagnosed March 30, 2024 with AML.
I just had my 3rd bone marrow biopsy as the Dacogen/Venetaclax treatments are not getting me into remission. I expect the results may dictate a change in my treatment.
I will mention I have elected not to have a BMT. Has anyone above the age of 75 with AML elected to forego a BMT and if so what does your treatment routine consist of (drugs and timing)?

Hi @sonieaml. There are some mutations which may make AML a little more challenging. I read your previous a reply back from May that said you were in remission at the 2nd bone marrow biopsy. That’s frustrating news for you to find out that now you’re not in remission any longer.
Like you, I’m suspecting your hematologist/oncologist may make a changes in the current treatment plan.
Do you know what mutations are associated with your AML diagnosis?
