Harnessing the Effects of BTKi on T Cells for Effective Immunotherapy against CLL [PDF]
B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and tumor–microenvironment crosstalk both drive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) pathogenesis. Within the microenvironment, tumor cells shape the T-cell compartment, which in turn supports tumor growth and survival. Targeting BCR signaling using Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) has become a highly successful ...

Ibrutinib protects T cells in patients with CLL from proliferation-induced senescence [PDF]
Background The development of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) has provided a highly effective and relatively non-toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapy.

Efficacy and safety of first- versus second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
We conducted this first systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the competitive advantage of 2nd-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) compared to 1st-generation BTKi in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Pirtobrutinib monotherapy in Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor-intolerant patients with B-cell malignancies: results of the phase I/II BRUIN trial [PDF]
Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have transformed the treatment of B-cell malignancies, but intolerance has often led to their discontinuation. The phase 1/2 BRUIN study evaluated pirtobrutinib, a highly selective non-covalent (reversible) BTKi,

Novel BTK inhibitors and degraders for relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL: latest updates from ASH 2025 annual meeting [PDF]
Although covalent and non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have extended clinical benefit to relapsed/refractory (R/R) and BTKi-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), there remains an unmet need for ...

Background First generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) such as ibrutinib have been associated with cardiovascular toxicities. Newer generation BTKi (e.g.,acalabrutinib and zanabrutinib) have been associated with lower incidence of ...

Extranodal Organ Involvement in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Clinical Features and Outcomes With Bruton Tyrosine Kinase and BCL-2 Inhibitors. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Although chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) typically follows an indolent course involving blood, lymph nodes, and bone marrow, extranodal organ involvement is rare and poorly characterized. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 19 patients with histologically confirmed extranodal CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), assessing ...

Real-World Determinants of Treatment Selection in Frontline Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: The FIRST-CLL Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Multiple targeted agents are available for first‐line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), yet the absence of mature head‐to‐head comparisons makes treatment selection challenging. The prospective, multicenter FIRST‐CLL study evaluated real‐world treatment allocation, and the contribution of biological, clinical, logistical and ...

Comparative Efficacy of BTK Inhibitors in Treatment-Naïve and Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) have been employed in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, direct comparisons of ibrutinib, zanubrutinib, and acalabrutinib across treatment‐naïve (TN) and relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL remain limited. This meta‐analysis was intended to evaluate their efficacy, addressing critical gaps
