Expanding Options for Treatment of CLL Using BTK Inhibitors

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.

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

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

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

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.
