Zanubrutinib Displays Improved Efficacy Vs Orelabrutinib in Relapsed/Refractory CLL/SLL and MCL
July 22nd 2022Zanubrutinib demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival compared with orelabrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma.
Pirtobrutinib Demonstrates Encouraging Efficacy, Favorable Safety in Previously Treated CLL/SLL
Pirtobrutinib continued to produce promising responses in heavily pretreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, irrespective of BTK C481 mutation status, reason for prior BTK inhibitor discontinuation, or other classes of previous therapy received.
Ibrutinib/Obinutuzumab Combo Elicits Durable Responses in Relapsed/Refractory CLL
Findings from a phase 1b trial showed that the addition of obinutuzumab to ibrutinib produced a complete response rate that compared favorably with what has historically been observed with ibrutinib monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
FDA Issues Warning for Increased Risk of Death, Serious AEs with Duvelisib in CLL/SLL
The FDA has warned that treatment with duvelisib has shown a possible increased risk of death and serious adverse effects compared with ofatumumab in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Nemtabrutinib Generates Responses, Displays Manageable Safety in CLL/SLL
Nemtabrutinib, a potent, non-covalent BTK inhibitor, continued to demonstrate antitumor activity with an acceptable safety profile in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Ibrutinib Plus Venetoclax Produces High MRD Negativity Rate in Previously Untreated CLL
The addition of venetoclax to ibrutinib resulted in a high rate of minimal residual disease negativity in the blood and marrow of patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Zanubrutinib Improves QOL Outcomes Vs Bendamustine/Rituximab in CLL/SLL
