BACKGROUND Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia(MPAL)is characterized by acute undifferentiated leukemia with blasts co-expressing myeloid and lymphoid antigens.However,consensus regarding the ideal management strategy for MPAL is yet to be established,owing to its rarity.CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old male was diagnosed with T/myeloid MPAL.Vincristine,prednisolone,daunorubicin,and L-asparaginase were administered as induction chemotherapy.Septic shock occurred 10 days after induction,and bone marrow examination following recovery from sepsis revealed refractory disease.Venetoclax and decitabine were administered as chemotherapy-free induction therapy to reduce the infection risk.There were no serious infections,including febrile neutropenia,at the end of the treatment.After receiving two additional cycles of venetoclax/decitabine,the patient underwent haploidentical peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation and achieved complete response(CR)to treatment.CONCLUSION CR was maintained in a patient with MPAL who underwent haploidentical peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation after additional venetoclax/decitabine cycles.
