THE USE OF VENCLYXTO BEFORE BTKi IN CLL PATIENTS IS SUPPORTED BY REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE1*

Multicentre, international, retrospective cohort study across 31 centres (n=326); 188 patients (58%) who initially received VENCLYXTO were treated with a subsequent line of therapy (including BTKi, n=74; 44 BTKi-naive patients, 30 BTKi-exposed patients)
Median follow-up of 7.7 months (1–48 months) in patients subsequently treated with a BTKi

Post VENCLYXTO efficacy: ORR and PFS with BTKi†‡

ORR: BTKi-NAIVE PATIENTS (N=44) 

PFS: BTKi-NAIVE PATIENTS (N=44) 

Median follow-up in BTKi-naive patients treated with BTKi after VENCLYXTO: 10.5 months.

In BTKi-exposed patients (n=30)

ORR with BTKi was:

50% in prior BTKi-resistant patients (n=20)
70% in prior BTKi-intolerant patients (n=10)

mPFS with BTKi was:

4 months in prior BTKi-resistant patients (n=20)
Not reached in prior BTKi-intolerant patients (n=10)

Discontinuation rate due to AEs was 14.3% for BTKi-naive patients and 8.3% for BTKi-exposed patients. 

This retrospective cohort study investigated CLL patients who had discontinued VENCLYXTO (monotherapy, 73%); 4% of patients were treatment-naive, and 96% were relapsed/refractory. Coprimary endpoints were ORR and PFS of treatment following VENCLYXTO discontinuation. Responses were defined by modified International Workshop on CLL criteria, and PFS as time from post-VENCLYXTO therapy to CLL progression of disease, death, or last follow-up.

*Data represent a subset of patients who received BTKi following VENCLYXTO (n=74).

Patient cohorts were BTKi exposure (naive/resistant/intolerant), PI3K, and cellular therapies.

BTKi included ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and noncovalent BTKi.

BTKi=Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor; PR-L=partial response with lymphocytosis; mPFS=median progression-free survival; AE=adverse event; PI3K=phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Real-world evidence is collected outside of controlled clinical trials and has inherent limitations,

including a lesser ability to control for confounding factors.

Results are descriptive and not tested for statistical significance.
