Novel therapies in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: An update.

During the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, the Lymphoma Hub spoke to Chan Cheah, University of Western Australia, Perth, AU. We asked for an update on novel therapies in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Cheah reviews the abstracts that were presented at ASH on novel BTK inhibitors and Bcl-2 inhibitors for relapsed/refractory CLL. This includes an analysis of the potency, toxicity, and MRD response rates of the Bcl-2 inhibitor, BGB-11417, as well as the results of the phase I/II BRUIN study of the non-covalent BTK inhibitor, pirtobrutinib, in heavily pretreated patients with CLL and patients with Richter’s transformation.
