Ibrutinib (Ibr) dose modification for management of early cardiac adverse events in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Pooled analysis of 7 clinical trials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Sustained progression-free survival (PFS) has been demonstrated with continuous Ibr-based therapy and with time-limited treatment (tx) with the Ibr + venetoclax (Ven) combination in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Adverse events (AEs), including cardiac AEs, have been observed with all BTK inhibitors; for Ibr, they are more frequent in the first year of tx. Active management of AEs with dose reductions may facilitate continuation of Ibr tx and optimize outcomes. Methods: Pooled data from 1210 evaluable patients from the primary analyses of 7 clinical studies evaluating continuous single-agent Ibr (PCYC-1102 [n = 48]; PCYC-1112 [n = 195]; RESONATE-2 [n = 136]), continuous Ibr-based combination therapy (iLLUMINATE [n = 113]; HELIOS [n = 289]), or time-limited tx with Ibr + Ven (CAPTIVATE [n = 323]; GLOW [n = 106]) were analyzed to evaluate incidence of early cardiac AEs and outcomes of subsequent Ibr dose reductions (for any AE), both occurring within 12 months of Ibr-based tx initiation in patients with CLL/SLL. Cardiac AEs were identified using terms under the system organ class for cardiac disorders. AE recurrence (same or worse grade) was evaluated by preferred term and measured up to 30 days after last dose of Ibr or start of next-line therapy, whichever occurred first. Results: 212 patients had a cardiac AE; the majority were grade 1–2, with only 72 patients having a grade 3–4 cardiac AE. Of those, 52 (25%), 75 (35%), and 85 (40%) patients received single-agent Ibr, Ibr + anti-CD20, and Ibr + Ven, respectively. In total, 17/212 (8%) patients had dose reductions of Ibr (to 280 mg, n = 8; to 140 mg, n = 9); only 4 patients had a dose reduction specifically following a cardiac AE. Among these 17 patients, 3 (18%) received single-agent Ibr, 5 (29%) received Ibr + anti-CD20, and 9 (53%) received Ibr + Ven. Eight of 9 patients (89%) who received Ibr + Ven and had a dose reduction went on to complete tx. Patients with cardiac AEs with versus without dose reductions tended to be older (≥75 y: 29% vs. 19%), were less heavily pretreated (≥1 prior line of tx: 12% vs. 41%), had less bulky disease (29% vs. 42%), and had fewer cytogenetic abnormalities (del[17p]: 6% vs. 12%; del[11q]: 12% vs. 26%; mutated TP53: 0% vs. 9%; Table). Median follow-up was 21.8 and 16.0 months for patients with and without dose reductions, respectively. No patient with a dose reduction had recurrence of the same cardiac AE at the same or worse severity, both overall and as a serious AE (vs 22% and 11% in patients without dose reduction, respectively). No patient died due to recurrence of the same cardiac AE, regardless of dose reduction. PFS was not negatively impacted by dose reduction (n = 17; median PFS not reached, 24-month PFS: 94%). Conclusions: Dose reduction following early cardiac AEs may enable patients to continue benefiting from Ibr tx while mitigating risks for recurrence or worsening of cardiac AEs.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
