SEQUOIA: Zanubrutinib vs BR in First-Line CLL/SLL

Mark Geyer, MD, and Yannis K. Valtis, MD, discussed real-world findings on the incidence, prevention, and management of tumor lysis syndrome in patients with CLL treated with venetoclax.

Current frontline treatment options for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia have grown over the past year, specifically with the approval of zanubrutinib.

Acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib showed longer median TTD and TTNT compared to ibrutinib in CLL/SLL patients. Cardiovascular adverse effects were less frequent with acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib than with ibrutinib.

In season 4, episode 7 of Targeted Talks, Cyrus M. Khan, MD, discusses the latest FDA activity in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia space.

Zanubrutinib plus venetoclax achieved a 100% overall response rate in patients with treatment-naive CLL/SLL harboring 17p deletions and/or TP53 mutations.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Lori A. Leslie, MD, discussed subgroup analyses and adverse events from the ALPINE trial of zanubrutinib for a patient with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the second article of a 2-part series.
