Deep dives

Combinations of BTK and BCL2 Inhibitors in CLL

Discussions on the efficacy of combinations of BTK and BCL2 inhibitors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) highlighted data from the Sequoia trial, showing high efficacy in a high-risk population with 17p deletion or TP53 aberrations. The combination of Serontoclax and Xanabarutinib in relapsed CLL patients demonstrated excellent response rates and promising tolerability, moving into a randomized clinical trial for further validation.
