Video content above is prompted by the following:
- With the recent NCCN update recommending pirtobrutinib as a second line or later option, and in light of the BRUIN CLL-321 data presented at the 2024 American Society of Hematology annual meeting, what factors should oncologists consider when incorporating newer agents like pirtobrutinib into the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)?
- What is the significance of novel Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) degraders such as NX-5948, and how might they fill therapeutic gaps in BTK-resistant or intolerant relapsed/refractory CLL populations?
