Open-Label Early-Access Programs (EAPs) for Ibrutinib in Patients with Relapsed/ Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Mantle-Cell Lymphoma (MCL) (original) (raw)

Blood, 2018

Abstract

Background:Treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are limited. Ibrutinib is a first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase. These extended access programs (EAP) provided patient access to ibrutinib in Brazil and real-world safety data was collected, at a time when the medication was not commercially available in Brazil. Methods:These two prospective, multicenter, open-label EAPs of single-agent ibrutinib were conducted between April 2013 and August 2017, and enrolled Brazilian patients with relapsed/refractory CLL or MCL. Eligible patients must have progressive disease after at least one prior therapy and not suitable for retreatment with purine analogue therapy. After a 30-day screening, eligible patients received once-daily oral ibrutinib 420 mg (CLL) or 560 mg (MCL) continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, absence of clinical benefit, or end of EAP, w...
