Venetoclax has transformed the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but resistance and transient responses remain major challenges.
A new study explores whether pharmacological inhibition of the Rho/ROCK pathway can enhance venetoclax activity, showing synergistic antileukemic effects across AML cell lines, primary patients’ samples and in vivo models, including venetoclax-resistant disease. The findings provide a preclinical rationale for combining ROCK inhibition with venetoclax in AML.
