Episode Notes

In this episode, Christopher R. Flowers, MD, MS, and Kami Maddocks, MD, discuss their choices of recent important trials presented at the Society of Hematologic Oncology 2022 Annual Meeting evaluating the use of BTK inhibitors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma. The discussion includes analyses of:

• GLOW: phase III randomized trial of ibrutinib plus venetoclax vs chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab for older or unfit patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia 
• BRUIN: phase I/II study of pirtobrutinib for previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (including previous BTK inhibitor)
