Acalabrutinib monotherapy for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (ACE-CL-001): analysis of the Richter transformation cohort of an open-label, single-arm, phase 1-2 study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who progress to Richter transformation (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma morphology) have few therapeutic options. We analysed data from the Richter transformation cohort of a larger, ongoing, phase 1-2, single-arm study evaluating the safety and activity of the selective, irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor acalabrutinib for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Methods

For this open-label, single-arm, phase 1-2 study, patients aged 18 years or older with biopsy-proven treatment-naive or previously treated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Richter transformation) or prolymphocytic leukaemia transformation (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤2) were assign
