Zanubrutinib as frontline option independently of del(17p) and/or TP53 mut status

Updates on zanubrutinib monotherapy and combination with venetoclax in high-risk, treatment-naïve CLL/SLL from the SEQUOIA study1,2



The arm C and arm D from SEQUOIA continued to show the efficacy and tolerability of zanubrutinib monotherapy and combo with venetoclax regardless of the risk status in patients with treatment-naive CLL/SLL.1,2

How does zanubrutinib compare to acalabrutinib + venetoclax in low-risk, treatment-naive CLL?

In the absence of head-to-head trials, we used two distinct statistical analyses, a network meta-analysis (NMA) and a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC), to indirectly evaluate these treatments.3,4


Both methods identified a statistically significant improvement in PFS for zanubrutinib vs acalabrutinib + venetoclax in low-risk treatment-naive CLL.3,4

How many cardiac deaths might be avoided from using zanubrutinib instead of ibrutinib?

Modelling analyses to estimate the number of ibrutinib-avoidable cardiac deaths in 1L and 2L+ CLL settings.5


Consider how switching from ibrutinib to zanubrutinib for CLL treatment may avoid cardiac deaths in 1L and 2L+ settings.5
