    A Third-Generation Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Review Author: Michael E.
    Williams, MD, ScMpirtobrutinib Patients with B-cell malignancies resistant to acid kinase inhibitors (BTKi) achieved lasting remission
    .

    The FDA-approved covalent and irreversible combination of BTKi (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib) is a component of the treatment plan for B-cell malignancies, but tumor cell resistance and patient intolerance are common
    .

    The researchers published the results of an industry-sponsored, multi-center Phase 1/2 trial of the new reversibly conjugated BTKi pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305), which included 323 cases of relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphoid Patients with cell lymphoma (CLL/SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), follicular lymphoma (FL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
    .

    Patients who had previously received BTKi treatment were also included in the trial
    .

    In the 203 patients in the phase 1 dose exploration cohort, the investigator found no dose-limiting toxicity; 200 mg orally once daily is recommended as the phase 2 dose
    .

    The overall response rate (ORR) of 269 patients with curative effect can be evaluated is as follows (Table 1)
    .

    Table 1.
    Total remission rate after pirtobrutinib treatment.
    The researchers observed that patients who had received a large number of treatments in the past achieved remission, including patients who had received stem cell transplantation or CAR T cell therapy
    .

    75% of patients with BTK C481 mutation (mediating resistance to irreversible BTKi) and 79% of patients with 17p deletion or TP53 mutation achieved CLL remission
    .

    During the limited follow-up period (median 4 to 6 months), the remission of most patients continued
    .

    Toxicity grade 3 or higher includes: neutropenia (10%) and anemia (4%); grade 1 to 2 toxicities include bruising (16%), bleeding (5%) and atrial fibrillation (1%) )
    .

    Infections are not common and are mainly upper respiratory tract infections
    .

    Comment on pirtobrutinib to achieve remission of a series of B-cell malignancies, including patients who are resistant or intolerant to other BTKi, which suggests that the reversible combination makes the drug have benefits that other drugs do not have
    .

    The drug is generally well tolerated, but the follow-up time needs to be extended to further evaluate the toxicity
    .

    Although the number of FL and DLBCL patients is small, compared with the existing BTKi, this study shows the potential of the above-mentioned lymphoma patients to benefit from treatment.
    This topic needs further discussion
