The patient developed extensive skin, oral, and liver chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) required tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and prednisolone. At seventh month after allo-HSCT, the patient presented with systemic symptoms, right cervical lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, marked pancytopaenia, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Bone marrow study, immunophenotyping (IP), chromosome analysis, and PET-CT scan confirmed relapsed CLL with no evidence of Richter\u2019s transformation or posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). Withdrawal of immunosuppressant (IS) worsened cutaneous and liver GVHD. Chemotherapy was not a suitable treatment option in view of immunodeficiency. The patient underwent extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) therapy eventually for extensive chronic GVHD, and the IS were gradually tapered to the minimal effective dose. The relapsed CLL was treated successfully with oral venetoclax accessible via a compassionate drug program. This case highlights challenges in managing relapsed CLL and loss of graft-versus-leukaemia (GVL) effect despite extensive chronic GVHD. Venetoclax is an effective and well-tolerated oral novel agent for relapsed CLL after allo-HSCT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/8831125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,23]],"date-time":"2021-01-23T03:05:37Z","timestamp":1611371137000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia with Concomitant Extensive Chronic Graft versus Host Disease after Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Successfully Treated with Oral Venetoclax"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8702-6278","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ching Soon","family":"Teoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Haematology Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Pulau Pinang, Jalan Residensi, 10990 Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1721-6778","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ai Sim","family":"Goh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Haematology Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Pulau Pinang, Jalan Residensi, 10990 Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annonc\/mdv303"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12094-009-0340-z"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2018-01-826008"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1509388"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1315226"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(16)30019-5"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2017.76.6840"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-124-3-199602010-00005"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bmt.1702237"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V94.6.1840"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa040857"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2007-05-092882"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.leu.2403745"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2007.15.4757"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2014-07-586826"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2017-04-775841"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2003.12.011"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.leu.2404838"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2005-02-0819"},{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2007-06-093906"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2018-01-785998"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)30422-7"},{"key":"23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.leu.2404441"},{"key":"24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.leu.2402178"},{"issue":"3","key":"25","first-page":"669","article-title":"Graft-versus-leukemia effect after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia","volume":"18","author":"G.
