Real-world effectiveness and safety of ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma in Japan: post-marketing surveillance.

ABSTRACT: Efficacy and safety data for ibrutinib in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) were limited at the time of its approval in Japan. All-case post-marketing surveillance was conducted in Japanese R/R MCL patients who began ibrutinib treatment between December 2016 and December 2017, and patients were followed until 30 June 2020. In the effectiveness analysis set (n = 202), the overall response rate was 59.9%, 52-week progression-free survival was 47.5%, and overall survival was 69.3%. Safety was assessed in 248 patients (median age 74.0 years). When ibrutinib treatment was started, patients had received a median of three prior lines of therapy. The overall incidence of adverse events (AE) was 74.6%, and AE frequency and severity grade distribution were s
