Additional treatment options

BCL2 Inhibitor Therapy

Venetoclax-based regimens may show activity in TCF3-HLF B-ALL given the anti-apoptotic dependencies in this high-risk subtype, often combined with other agents.

medication

CAR-T Cell Therapy

CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy as bridge to transplant or for relapsed/refractory TCF3-HLF positive disease, offering potent anti-leukemic activity.
