Fixed-duration ibrutinib plus venetoclax for first-line treatment of CLL: primary analysis of the CAPTIVATE FD cohort

Constantine S. Tam et al.

Summary: The CAPTIVATE study is an international phase 2 study that investigated the efficacy of fixed-duration treatment with ibrutinib plus venetoclax in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The study showed promising results, with high complete response rates and durable responses, even in high-risk patients.

Characterization of metabolic alterations of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the lymph node microenvironment

Zhenghao Chen et al.

Summary: Through metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, this study reveals the metabolic differences between cells in the lymph nodes and peripheral blood. The CD40 and BCR signaling pathways play different roles in regulating cell metabolism, which may be related to therapeutic response. Additionally, the significant use of amino acids as fuel for the tricarboxylic acid cycle suggests new therapeutic vulnerabilities.

TLR9 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia identifies a promigratory subpopulation and novel therapeutic target

Emma Kennedy et al.

Summary: Despite the advancements in B-cell receptor-targeted inhibitors, CLL remains incurable. TLR9 activation by unmethylated DNA is associated with disease progression in CLL. High TLR9 expression promotes CLL cell migration and disease progression, while dual targeting of TLR9 and BTK shows strong synergism as a potential treatment strategy for this incurable disease.

Regulation of Bcl-XL by non-canonical NF-κB in the context of CD40-induced drug resistance in CLL

Marco Haselager et al.

Summary: In chronic lymphocytic leukemia, signaling via NF-kappa B, particularly through CD40 stimulation, plays a crucial role in driving the expression of anti-apoptotic regulator Bcl-XL. The canonical NF-kappa B pathway first induces Bcl-XL expression, followed by the non-canonical NF-kappa B signaling which boosts and sustains it. This study highlights the potential of selectively targeting the non-canonical NF-kappa B pathway to sensitize venetoclax-resistant CLL cells to apoptosis.

miR-29 modulates CD40 signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia by targeting TRAF4: an axis affected by BCR inhibitors

Sonali Sharma et al.

Summary: The study revealed changes in miRNA expression in the CLL microenvironment, with members of the miR-29 family playing a crucial role in BCR signaling and prognosis of CLL patients. TRAF4 was identified as a direct target of miR-29, influencing CLL cell responsiveness to CD40 activation and NF-kappa B signaling. The miR-29-TRAF4-CD40 signaling axis modulated by BCR activity demonstrates a novel regulatory mechanism in CLL.

Co-Stimulatory versus Cell Death Aspects of Agonistic CD40 Monoclonal Antibody Selicrelumab in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Raquel Delgado et al.

Summary: The study revealed that selicrelumab can enhance the sensitivity of CLL cells to CD20 monoclonal antibodies, despite its minimal pro-survival effect. Combining selicrelumab with anti-CD20 antibodies may be a promising therapeutic strategy for CLL.

Combined ibrutinib and venetoclax treatment vs single agents in the TCL1 mouse model of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Arnon P. Kater et al.

Summary: In a mouse model study, combination therapy using ibrutinib and venetoclax showed deeper treatment effects on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mainly due to reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis. Changes in T-cell subsets were most pronounced after combination treatment, which outperformed single-agent therapy.
