Venetoclax, sold under the brand names Venclexta and Venclyxto, is a medication used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).[4][5] It is taken by mouth.[5] It may be used on its own or together with other medications.[5]
Common side effects include low white blood cells, low red blood cell, high potassium, diarrhea, nausea, respiratory infections, and tiredness.[5] Other severe side effects may include sepsis, low potassium, tumor lysis syndrome, and bleeding.[5][2] It interacts with St. John’s wort.[5] It works by attaching to a protein called Bcl-2, blocking its activity, which results in the death of cancer cells.[5]
Venetoclax was approved for medical use in Europe and the United States in 2016.[5][2] In the United Kingdom 112 tablets of 100 mg costs the NHS about £4,800.[6] This amount in the United States costs about 12,600 USD as of 2021.[7]
