  • Overview

    The validation of targeted agent classes, driven by the emergence of BTK inhibitors as a highly effective therapeutic tool, has transformed the medical management of CLL/SLL and led to similar advances for other B-cell malignancies. Although this transformation has substantially improved outcomes, challenges remain and are centered on the problem of devising truly individualized sequential care in the relapsed/refractory disease setting, where outcomes to date have not improved as dramatically as those for newly diagnosed/treatment-naïve disease. Therapeutic intolerance and challenges involving adverse event management, BTK inhibitor resistance, and double-refractory status contribute to therapy interruption or discontinuation and abrogate clinical benefits associated with continued BTK inhibitor therapy, leading to subsequent care that is suboptimal due to a dearth of effective treatment options.
