ABSTRACT
The multicenter observational BiRD study investigated the real-world effectiveness and safety of ibrutinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) in Belgium. This interim analysis reports results for patients with CLL, with a median follow-up of 34 months. Overall, patients had predominantly relapsed/refractory disease (73%) and were elderly (median age 72 years) with high-risk features such as del17p and/or TP53 mutations (59%). Patients were included either prospectively or retrospectively, and the total patient population effectiveness results were adjusted with left truncation. In the effectiveness population (N = 221 prospective, n = 71; retrospective, n = 150), the overall response rate was 90.0%. Median progression-free survival was 38.3 months (prospective, not estimable; retrospective, 51.5 months) and median overall survival was not yet estimable in the total, prospective and retrospective groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for the prospective and retrospective groups are reported separately. Any-grade TEAEs of interest in the prospective/retrospective groups included infections (67.1%/60.1%), diarrhea (20.5%/10.5%), hypertension (16.4%/9.8%) and atrial fibrillation (12.3%/7.2%). Major bleeding was reported in 5.5%/3.3% of prospective/retrospective patients, with little difference observed between those receiving versus not receiving antithrombotic treatment. Discontinuations due to toxicity were reported in 10.5% of patients. Results from this interim analysis show treatment with ibrutinib to be effective and tolerable, with no new safety signals observed. Future analyses will report on longer-term follow-up.
