Decision-Making in CLL: The Role of Real-World Evidence

Undetectable measurable residual disease rates can help predict progression-free survival in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, according to an analysis.

The latest study findings suggest that acalabrutinib may be a safer option than ibrutinib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, offering a lower risk of serious cardiovascular and infection-related adverse events.

A recent study has found that higher serum levels of B-cell activating factor and anti-CCP3 are associated with a reduced risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), suggesting potential biomarkers for assessing CLL risk.

The authors said their findings also suggest AXL inhibition might be an important therapeutic strategy.

A meta-analysis demonstrated the superiority of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BKTi) in the overall survival of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared with other therapies.

A mathematical model using pharmacodynamic parameters, including duration of hyperlymphocytosis, may help clinicians better predict patient responses to ibrutinib administered for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
