Cardiovascular Toxicities Associated With Ibrutinib
Ibrutinib has revolutionized treatment for several B-cell malignancies. However, a recent clinical trial where ibrutinib was used in a front-line setting showed increased mortality during treatment compared with conventional chemotherapy. Cardiovascular toxicities were suspected as the culprit but not directly assessed in the study.The purpose of this ...

Another treatment option for relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. [PDF]
We hereby report the clinical and biologic features of 33 of 4680 (0.7%) patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), managed at 10 Italian centers, who developed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), a rare variant of Richter syndrome.

Regulation of B cell fate by chronic activity of the IgE B cell receptor. [PDF]
IgE can trigger potent allergic responses, yet the mechanisms regulating IgE production are poorly understood. Here we reveal that IgE+ B cells are constrained by chronic activity of the IgE B cell receptor (BCR).

Ibrutinib: coming of age? [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, O’Brien et al report long-term efficacy and safety of ibrutinib in the first cohort of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated, now with 5-year follow-up, the longest of any CLL cohort to date ...

Wnt5a causes ROR1 to complex and activate cortactin to enhance migration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (CLL) migrate between the blood and lymphoid tissues in response to chemokines. Such migration requires structured cytoskeletal-actin polymerization, which may involve the protein cortactin. We discovered that treatment

Characterization of the effects of BTK inhibition and monocyte-produced IL-8 on the hematopoietic stem cell niche [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all blood cell lineages. During early zebrafish development, HSPCs interact closely with endothelial cells in an endothelial niche known as the Caudal ...

Outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a retrospective study on behalf of the chronic malignancies working party of the EBMT [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) may result in long-term disease control in high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Recently, haploidentical HCT is gaining interest because of better outcomes with post-transplantation ...

Lymphocytosis and ibrutinib treatment of CLL
In this issue of Blood , Woyach et al clarify that prolonged lymphocytosis is composed of biologically inert leukemic cells and does not anticipate poor outcome or relapse. Prolonged lymphocytosis may be perceived as a failure of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment with ibrutinib.[1][1] ![

Drug Monographs: Ibrutinib and Ramucirumab [PDF]
The complexity of cancer chemotherapy requires pharmacists be familiar with the complicated regimens and highly toxic agents used. This column reviews various issues related to preparation, dispensing, and administration of antineoplastic therapy, and the agents, both commercially available and investigational, used to treat malignant diseases.
