Responses With Pirtobrutinib Remain High Despite Acquired Resistance in Relapsed CLL/SLL
December 13th 2023Responses 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.
DZD8586 Demonstrates Responses Across Dose Levels in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
December 13th 2023DZD8586 showcased antitumor activity and favorable safety with limited grade 3 or greater treatment-emergent adverse effects in patients with heavily pretreated B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to preliminary findings from a pooled analysis of two ongoing phase 1 trials.
Asciminib Elicits Safe and Durable Responses in Previously Treated CML
Treatment with asciminib elicited greater efficacy and had a more tolerable safety profile compared with bosutinib for patients chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase following treatment with 2 or more TKIs.
Tafasitamab Quadruplet Shows Efficacy in Newly Diagnosed DLBCL
December 12th 2023The use of tafasitamab-cxix, lenalidomide, rituximab, and acalabrutinib in the first-line setting induced high responses in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with responders deriving benefit from subsequent treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone.
Pirtobrutinib Displays Activity in Relapsed/Refractory MCL Following Covalent BTK Inhibitor Therapy
Pirtobrutinib demonstrated promising efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma who received prior therapy with a covalent BTK inhibitor.
