The global burden and attributable risk factors of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019: analysis based on the global burden of disease study 2019

Yiyi Yao et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the disease burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2019. The results showed that the global burden of CLL continues to rise, with higher incidence among males and older individuals. High body mass index and smoking were major contributors to CLL-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Mechanisms of Resistance to Noncovalent Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

Eric Wang et al.

Summary: This study reveals new mutations in the BTK kinase domain and occasional mutations in downstream PLC gamma 2 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who developed resistance to the noncovalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib. Despite the inactivity of BTK, alternative pathways of B-cell-receptor signaling were evident.

Up to 8-year follow-up from RESONATE-2: first-line ibrutinib treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Paul M. Barr et al.

Summary: This study reports long-term follow-up data from the RESONATE-2 phase 3 study of ibrutinib in previously untreated CLL patients. The results show that ibrutinib provides sustained benefit in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival, even in patients with high-risk genomic features.

Constantine S. Tam et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib in treatment-naive patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma carrying deletion of chromosome 17p13.1. Results demonstrated that zanubrutinib showed good activity and tolerability in this patient population.

Prediction of Outcome in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treated With Ibrutinib: Development and Validation of a Four-Factor Prognostic Model

Inhye E. Ahn et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a prognostic model to stratify patients into high, intermediate, and low-risk groups. The study identified TP53 aberration, prior treatment, beta-2 microglobulin level, and lactate dehydrogenase level as independent factors associated with progression-free survival and overall survival. The model was validated in internal and external validation cohorts.

Kerry A. Rogers et al.

Summary: Acalabrutinib is effective and well tolerated in most patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia who are intolerant to ibrutinib. The majority of patients showed significant efficacy with minimal adverse events, with disease progression being the main reason for intolerance.

Pooled analysis of safety data from clinical trials evaluating acalabrutinib monotherapy in mature B-cell malignancies

Richard R. Furman et al.

Summary: Acalabrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, shows good tolerability and safety profile in patients with mature B-cell malignancies, with common adverse events being headache, diarrhea, and upper respiratory tract infection. Serious adverse events, including pneumonia as the main fatal event, were reported in some patients, leading to treatment discontinuation in a small percentage of cases.

Acalabrutinib Versus Ibrutinib in Previously Treated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Results of the First Randomized Phase III Trial

John C. Byrd et al.

Summary: In this study, acalabrutinib was found to be noninferior to ibrutinib in terms of progression-free survival in patients with CLL, with a lower incidence of cardiovascular adverse events. This suggests that acalabrutinib may be a more tolerable option for continuous therapy in this patient population.

Matthew S. Davids et al.

Summary: The triplet therapy with acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab showed promising results in inducing complete remission with undetectable MRD in the bone marrow for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Despite not meeting the primary endpoint, the high proportion of patients achieving undetectable MRD supports further investigation into this regimen.

Measurable residual disease in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: expert review and consensus recommendations

William G. Wierda et al.

Summary: Assessment of measurable residual disease in chronic lymphocytic leukemia plays a crucial role in evaluating treatment outcomes, with undetectable residual disease status correlating with favorable prognoses. Key issues include standardizing methodology for assessment, determining the timing and tissue for evaluation, and understanding the application in clinical practice versus trials for future research.

Targeting Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase in CLL

Inhye E. Ahn et al.

Summary: Targeting the B-cell receptor signaling pathway through BTK inhibition has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of CLL and B-cell lymphomas. Different selectivity of individual BTKis leads to differences in target-mediated and off-target adverse effects. Disease progression driven by histologic transformation or selective expansion of mutated CLL clones remains a major challenge, but new combination regimens and reversible BTKis hold promise for preventing and treating BTKi-resistant disease.
