An integrated analysis of 2 phase 3 studies with up to 6.5 years of follow-up reported the outcomes of first-line ibrutinib (Imbruvica) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma and high-risk genomic features.

Jan A. Burger, MD, PhD, on Long-Term Outcomes with Ibrutinib in High-Risk Patients with CLL/SLL

This pooled analysis from 4 clinical trials suggested that though patients with TP53 aberrations remain at risk for progression, first-line treatment with ibrutinib has meaningfully improved the poor prognosis in this high-risk population.
