Transcriptomic and proteomic differences in BTK-WT and BTK-mutated CLL and their changes during therapy with pirtobrutinib.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (cBTKis), which bind to the BTK C481 residue, are now primary therapeutics for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Alterations at C481, primarily C481S, prevent cBTKi binding and lead to the emergence of resistant clones. Pirtobrutinib is a noncovalent BTKi that binds to both wild-type (WT) and C481S-mutated BTK and has shown efficacy in BTK-WT and -mutated CLL patient groups. To compare baseline clinical, transcriptomic, and proteomic characteristics and their changes during treatment in these 2 groups, we used 67 longitudinal peripheral blood samples obtained during the first 3 cycles of treatment with pirtobrutinib from 18 patients with CLL (11 BTK-mutated, 7 BTK-WT) enrolled in the BRUIN (pirtobrutinib in relapsed or refractor
