ABSTRACT
Among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with deletion 17p (del[17p]), evidence from clinical trials for the effectiveness of single-agent ibrutinib as first-line therapy is limited. This retrospective analysis compared real-world clinical outcomes among patients with CLL, with and without del(17p), treated with first-line ibrutinib monotherapy. Overall survival, time to next treatment, time to treatment discontinuation, and reasons for ibrutinib discontinuation were evaluated. Using data from a real-world database, patients included were aged ≥18 years, had been diagnosed with CLL between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2019, had undergone cytogenetic testing, and had received first-line ibrutinib monotherapy. A total of 1,069 patients were included in the analysis (62.7% male; median age 69 years); 23.8% (n=254) had del(17p). The median overall survival was significantly shorter in patients with del(17p) than in patients without (57.7 months vs. not reached; P=0.0006). Similar results were observed for median time to next treatment (49.4 months vs. not reached, P=0.0330). The median time to treatment discontinuation was non-significantly shorter in the group of patients with del(17p) (32.5 months vs. 42.9 months, P=0.3370). Results of an adjusted Cox proportional hazards model showed that the group with del(17p) was at significantly higher risk of death than was the group without del(17p) (hazard ratio=1.70, P=0.0031). Event rates for switching to new treatment and discontinuation were higher but not statistically significantly so. The most common reason for discontinuing ibrutinib treatment in both groups was toxicity, but discontinuation due to progression was significantly more frequent among patients with del(17p) (20% vs. 6%; P<0.0001). This study identifies an unmet need for more effective first-line therapeutic options in patients with CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma and del(17p), despite the advent of ibrutinib.
