ABSTRACT
Acalabrutinib has demonstrated significant efficacy and safety in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib monotherapy were evaluated in a treatment-naive CLL cohort of a single-arm phase 1/2 trial (ACE-CL-001). Adults were eligible for enrollment if chemotherapy was declined or deemed inappropriate due to comorbidities (N = 99). Patients had a median age of 64 years and 47% had Rai stage III/IV disease. Acalabrutinib was administered orally 200 mg once daily, or 100 mg twice daily until progression or intolerance. A total of 99 patients were treated; 57 (62%) had unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable gene, and 12 (18%) had TP53 aberrations. After median follow-up of 53 months, 85 patients remain on treatment; 14 discontinued treatment, mostly because of adverse events (AEs) (n = 6) or disease progression (n = 3). Overall response rate was 97% (90% partial response; 7% complete response), with similar outcomes among all prognostic subgroups. Because of improved trough BTK occupancy with twice-daily dosing, all patients were transitioned to 100 mg twice daily. Median duration of response (DOR) was not reached; 48-month DOR rate was 97% (95% confidence interval, 90-99). Serious AEs were reported in 38 patients (38%). AEs required discontinuation in 6 patients (6%) because of second primary cancers (n = 4) and infection (n = 2). Grade ≥3 events of special interest included infection (15%), hypertension (11%), bleeding events (3%), and atrial fibrillation (2%). Durable efficacy and long-term safety of acalabrutinib in this trial support its use in clinical management of symptomatic, untreated patients with CLL.
