Abstract
Introduction: In the last decade, BTK inhibitors and the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax have replaced immunochemotherapy in the treatment of CLL.
Areas covered: This review describes the use of BTK inhibitors and BCL2 inhibitors in the treatment of naive and relapsed or refractory CLL, with particular attention to the mechanisms of resistance. It also addresses the management of double-refractory patients, and the discovery of novel drugs. The corpus of papers was obtained by a search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles in English.
Expert opinion: Covalent BTK inhibitors and venetoclax are commonly recommended for previously-untreated and relapsed/refractory CLL. However, resistance to both drug classes can develop over time. As such, double-refractory patients are difficult to manage and novel approaches are urgently needed.
期刊介绍：
Advanced molecular research techniques have transformed hematology in recent years. With improved understanding of hematologic diseases, we now have the opportunity to research and evaluate new biological therapies, new drugs and drug combinations, new treatment schedules and novel approaches including stem cell transplantation. We can also expect proteomics, molecular genetics and biomarker research to facilitate new diagnostic approaches and the identification of appropriate therapies. Further advances in our knowledge regarding the formation and function of blood cells and blood-forming tissues should ensue, and it will be a major challenge for hematologists to adopt these new paradigms and develop integrated strategies to define the best possible patient care. Expert Review of Hematology (1747-4086) puts these advances in context and explores how they will translate directly into clinical practice.
