Following the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting and the EHA 2021 Virtual Congress, the Lymphoma Hub spoke with John C. Byrd, OSUCCC −The James, Columbus, US. We asked, Is acalabrutinib superior to ibrutinib for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)?
Byrd outlines data from the phase III ELEVATE-RR trial, a non-inferiority study which was the first to compare safety and overall survival between the BTK inhibitors acalabrutinib and ibrutinib, in patients with previously treated CLL.
