Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Modern ibrutinib-based approaches substantially narrow the traditional survival gap observed in CLL.

Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable is an important prognostic biomarker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but the authors of a new review say its role has yet to be fully understood.

CAR T-cell therapy achieves meaningful responses and survival gains in this aggressive CLL complication.

Experts discuss the evolving landscape of CLL treatment, cellular therapies, and innovative diagnostics shaping patient care and cost-effectiveness in oncology.

Despite improved selectivity, real-world data point to persistent cardiovascular challenges even with next-generation BTKi therapies.

Cardiac adverse events were lower among patients taking zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib in the real-world setting.

Serum biochemical fingerprints can stratify chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) outcomes and uncover heterogeneity within molecularly defined low-risk disease.

Patients with NOTCH1 mutations derive greater benefit from BTK inhibitor treatment than from immunochemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Nanopore sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may be a particularly good fit in under-resourced areas due to its lower cost and smaller laboratory footprint.

Patients with immunoglobulin M-type monoclonal gammopathy did not experience a survival benefit from targeted therapies, a study found.

Findings suggest bispecific CD3xCD20 therapy may offer an option for patients with Richter syndrome who are ineligible for transplant or CAR T-cell Therapy.

A case series suggests using minimal residual disease to trigger anti-CD20 therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can add years to some patients’ lives.

Four autophagy-related variants in CDKN2A and BCL2 may increase susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

As oncology continues to move more toward precision medicine, tools like EVOFLUx may offer a more personalized roadmap from diagnosis to treatment.

Positive topline data from the phase 3 BRUIN CLL-313 showed pirtobrutinib's efficacy in the frontline setting.

Drug interactions with ibrutinib may not shorten survival when managed carefully, though the significant increase in infection-related hospitalizations tied to CYP3A inhibitors signals an urgent need for closer monitoring, dose adjustment, and proactive infection prevention strategies.

Among patients with hematologic malignancies who were diagnosed with COVID-19, about one-quarter experienced critical illness, and most of those patients died.

The findings could help clinicians individualize infection-prevention strategies in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

A single-center study comparing patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia receiving venetoclax as part of a clinical trial and patients receiving it in routine clinical practice showed very high complete response rates in both groups.

Despite the findings, existing data around cardiovascular risk in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are limited, and more comprehensive information is needed to draw strong conclusions.

Novel 3D analysis reveals core tumor niches drive resistance through AP-1 signaling and stromal reprogramming.

Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) had significantly lower monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio values compared with healthy controls.

Men fared better under surveillance, while women benefited more from targeted therapies for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in a new study.

Real-world longitudinal data suggest that in CLL, regular immunoglobulin replacement therapy may not reduce, and may even correlate with increased, serious infection rates during treatment periods.

Pirtobrutinib had a nominally superior overall response rate compared to ibrutinib in certain patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
