Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

John Seymour, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, explains why BCL-2 was considered an undruggable target for so long and what led to the development of effective BCL-2 inhibitors.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, John N. Allan, MD, discussed how new regimens using BTK inhibitors and venetoclax might be used in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Ryan W. Jacobs, MD, discussed a patient who received 2 prior lines of therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Paolo Ghia, MD, PhD, discusses the CAPTIVATE trial in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, and what findings from the trial have been particularly noteworthy.

The CRISTALLO trial showed that venetoclax plus obinutuzumab achieved high minimal residual disease negativity as a frontline chronic lymphocytic leukemia therapy.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Nitin Jain, MD, and participants discussed treating a patient with CLL after acalabrutinib and venetoclax/rituximab.

Cyrus M. Khan, MD, discusses how treatment paradigms for chronic lymphocytic leukemia have changed in recent years, particularly regarding frontline therapy options.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Nakhle Saba, MD, and participants discussed the data supporting the 2 newer BTK inhibitor therapies acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who received 1 prior line of therapy in the second article of a 2-part series.

Ann LaCasce, MD, MMSc, delved into some of the most recent advances in the lymphoma space, exploring how these new therapies are offering hope for more durable remissions and better quality of life.

MB-105, a first-in-class CD5-targeted CAR T-cell therapy, received FDA orphan drug designation for relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma.

In an interview, Paolo Ghia, MD, PhD, discussed updated data from the phase 2 CAPTIVATE trial of ibrutinib and venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Nakhle Saba, MD, and participants discussed treatment for a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who received 1 prior line of therapy in the first article of a 2-part series.

Experts examine the potential role of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia treatment, incorporating new evidence presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Catherine Coombs, MD, discussed the BRUIN trial and recent NCCN updates on chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Experts discuss the comparative efficacy of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib vs venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia treatment based on updates presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024.

During the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition, investigators revealed early-phase 1 data evaluating various BTK degraders that leverage different strategies to overcome resistance.

John Seymour, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, explains the mechanism of action of BCL-2 inhibitors like venetoclax.

Experts examine both overall survival outcomes and independent review committee–assessed progression-free survival data from the AMPLIFY trial.

In separate, live virtual events, Alvaro Jose Alencar, MD, and Michael E. Williams, MD, discussed third-line options for a patient with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Daniel A. Ermann, MD, discussed evaluation and treatment for a patient with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia after receiving venetoclax and obinutuzumab.

Real-world data suggest optimal CLL/SLL treatment sequencing involves targeted therapies, including covalent BTKis and BCL2 inhibitors, for better survival outcomes.

Pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab demonstrated a numerically higher rate of undetectable minimal residual disease vs ibrutinib and venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The novel Bruton tyrosine kinase degrader BGB-16673 shows promise in relapsed/refractory Waldenström macroglobulinemia previously exposed to BTK inhibitors, and in heavily pretreated patients with R/R chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Pirtobrutinib, a third-generation BTK inhibitor, showed superior progression-free survival and lower treatment discontinuation rates vs investigator's choice in previously treated CLL/SLL.

Initial therapy with sonrotoclax and zanubrutinib showed strong efficacy and acceptable safety in untreated CLL/SLL.
