Question 1 of 2
In the phase III CLL13 study, which of the following treatments had better 3-year PFS in patients with CLL and unmutated IGHV status?
A

D
During the Lymphoma Hub virtual symposium on October 23, 2024, entitled Customizing first-line Bruton‘s tyrosine kinase (BTK) for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Francesc Bosch, Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, Barcelona, ES, shared a clinical case report and discussed treatment optimization strategies with BTK inhibitors in first-line CLL.
Symposium | First-line BTK inhibitors in clinical practice for CLL: Case study clinic
Bosch began by presenting a clinical case of a 73-year-old fit male with a medical history of hypertension who developed asymptomatic CLL (Figure 1). Bosch discussed the treatment approach, including key diagnostic steps such as imaging assessment, and the impact of various factors such as age, fitness, mutational status, and international prognostic index score, when selecting a treatment option. He also considered the latest data from clinical trials of BTK inhibitors in first-line CLL by highlighting long-term outcomes from the CAPTIVATE (Figure 2), GLOW, ELEVATE-TN, RESONATE-2, SEQUOIA, CLL13, and CLL14 trials, and described the deep and durable responses found with BTK inhibitors, particularly in patients with high-risk features including unmutated IGHV and del(17p)/TP53mut.
