Mantle Cell Lymphoma Previously Treated With BTK Inhibitor May Respond to a Newer BTK Inhibitor
A new BTK inhibitor shows promise for mantle cell lymphoma patients previously treated with older BTK inhibitors, per phase I/II BRUIN trial.
The next-generation inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) may be effective in mantle cell lymphoma for patients previously treated with an older BTK inhibitor, according to results from the phase I/II BRUIN trial. M. Yair Levy, M.D., a hematologist and medical oncologist at Texas Oncology–Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center, explains that the results create more options for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
