Jennifer A Woyach, MD, discusses the efficacy of pirtobrutinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who progressed on treatment with a covalent BTK inhibitor, including subgroups with or without previous exposure to a BCL2 inhibitor, from the phase 1/2 BRUIN study.

Responses on the non-covalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib remained high in patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia who expressed frequent baseline BTK mutations, according to a genomic analysis of the phase 1/2 BRUIN trial.

Where a patient lives may affect what kind of treatment they are offered for their CLL or SLL. However, second opinions and learning about one’s cancer diagnosis can help.

Ibrutinib plus venetoclax, given at a duration determined by minimal residual disease, improved progression-free survival and overall survival vs fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Paolo Ghia, MD, PhD, full professor, discusses a biomarker subgroup analysis of the phase 3 SEQUOIA trial investigating zanubrutinib vs bendamustine plus rituximab in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma without 17p deletions.

David J. Andorsky, MD, board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, discussed findings from a study on patterns of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor care use and social determinants of health (SDOH) among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Extended follow-up data presented at the American Society of Hematology show the advantage seen a year ago has held up for the second-generation BTK inhibitor.

Brukinsa led to improved progression-free survival over Imbruvica in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, follow-up from the phase 3 ALPINE study showed.

Zanubrutinib continued to demonstrate improved progression-free survival benefit over ibrutinib in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, according to extended follow-up data from the phase 3 ALPINE trial.
