ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The infection risk in patients receiving ibrutinib, idelalisib or venetoclax for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) or B-cell lymphoma treated outside of clinical trials is incompletely defined. We sought to identify the severe infection rate and associated risk factors in a 'real-world' cohort.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with CLL or lymphoma treated with ibrutinib, idelalisib or venetoclax.RESULTS:
Of 67 patients identified (ibrutinib n = 53, idelalisib n = 8 and venetoclax n = 6), 32 (48%) experienced severe infection. Severe infection occurred at a rate of 65 infections per 100 person-years, with a median of 17.8 months of therapy. Median time to first infection (IQR) was 5.4 months (1.4-15.9). Poor baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score associated with increased risk of severe infection [hazard ratios (95% CI) 1.57 (1.07-2.31, p = .018) and 1.3 (1.05-1.62, p = .016) respectively].CONCLUSION:
The severe infection rate for patients receiving ibrutinib, idelalisib or venetoclax for lymphoma and CLL exceeded those reported in clinical trials. Patients with poor ECOG or high CCI should be closely monitored for early signs of infection and prevention strategies actively pursued. Further prospective research is required to define optimal antimicrobial prophylaxis recommendations.Palavras-chave
