The emergence and validation of the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor agent class in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has informed the modern, more personalized approach to patient management—are you prepared to challenge your skills and see how the experts navigate this changed clinical landscape? Find out by viewing this Clinical Consults educational activity recorded at the annual European hematology meeting in Vienna; throughout experts will explore the evidence-based use of BTK inhibitors in these different CLL settings. Tune in to see case-based guidance on modern, customized therapy selection based on prognostic factors, safety and selectivity differences between available agents, and treatment settings in the context of EU and US practice. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe current evidence from pivotal clinical trials, head-to-head comparisons, and practice guidelines on BTK inhibitor efficacy, safety, and mechanistic/selectivity differences, including as single-agent approaches or as part of novel combinations; Select personalized BTK inhibitor therapy for patients with treatment-naïve CLL based on prognostic information, the presence of comorbidities, and safety considerations; Recommend sequential BTK inhibitor options for the management of patients with relapsed/refractory CLL or for individuals who develop therapeutic intolerance; and Develop a management plan for adverse events associated with first- and second-generation BTK inhibitors used to treat CLL.
