Bruton's Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Immunological Diseases: Current Status and Perspectives.

ABSTRACT: The use of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors has changed the management of patients with B-cell lymphoid malignancies. BTK is an important molecule that interconnects B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling. BTK inhibitors (BTKis) are classified into three categories, namely covalent irreversible inhibitors, covalent reversible inhibitors, and non-covalent reversible inhibitors. Ibrutinib is the first covalent, irreversible BTK inhibitor approved in 2013 as a breakthrough therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. Subsequently, two other covalent, irreversible, second-generation BTKis, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, have been developed for lymphoid malignancies to reduce the ibrutinib-mediated adverse effects. More recently, irreversible and reversible BTKis have been under development for immune-mediated diseases, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, multiple sclerosis, pemphigus vulgaris, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's disease, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, among others. This review article summarizes the preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the role of BTKis in various autoimmune, allergic, and inflammatory conditions.

Project description:Covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (cBTKi) have led to a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). These targeted oral therapies are administered as standard treatments in both the front-line and relapsed and/or refractory settings. Given their administration as a continuous therapy with a "treat-to-progression" strategy, limitations of their use include discontinuation due to toxicity or from progression of the disease. Non-covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ncBTKi) distinguish themselves by binding reversibly to the BTK target, which may address the limitations of toxicity and acquired resistance seen with cBTKi. Several ncBTKis have been studied preclinically and in clinical trials, including pirtobrutinib and nemtabrutinib. Pirtobrutinib, which is now FDA approved for relapsed and/or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), has shown outstanding safety and preliminary efficacy in CLL in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, with phase 3 trials underway. This agent may fill an unmet medical need for CLL patients requiring treatment after a cBTKi. Pirtobrutinib is particularly promising for the treatment of "double exposed" CLL, defined as CLL requiring treatment after both a cBTKi and venetoclax. Some patients have now developedacquired resistance to pirtobrutinib, and resistance mechanisms (including novel acquired mutations in BTK outside of the C481 position) have been recently described. Further study regarding the mechanisms of resistance to pirtobrutinib in patients without prior cBTKi exposure, as well as the potential for cross-resistance between cBTKi and ncBTKis, may be important to help inform where ncBTKis will ultimately fit in the treatment sequencing paradigm for CLL. An emerging clinical challenge is the treatment of CLL after ncBTKi discontinuation. Novel therapeutic strategies are being investigated to address the treatment of patients following disease progression on ncBTKis. Such strategies include novel agents (BTK degraders, bispecific antibody therapy, CAR T-cell therapy, PKC-beta inhibitors) as well as combination approaches incorporating a ncBTKi (e.g., pirtobrutinib and venetoclax) that may help overcome this acquired resistance.
