Selection of second-line therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Selection of second-line therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Step 1: Evaluate exposure to prior therapies and response to therapy:
Initial therapy Response to initial therapy Preferred next treatment options
BTK inhibitor Refractory Venetoclax-based therapy
Intolerant

Venetoclax-based therapy*

OR

Alternative BTK inhibitor (if no BTK mutation present)
Venetoclax plus obinutuzumab Early progression BTK inhibitor
Late progression

Venetoclax-based therapy (if no BCL2 mutation present)*

OR

BTK inhibitor
Chemoimmunotherapy Early progression

Venetoclax-based therapy*

OR

BTK inhibitor
Late progression

Venetoclax-based therapy*

OR

BTK inhibitor

OR

Repeat chemoimmunotherapy (less preferred)
Step 2: Consider adverse events and administration concerns of interest:
Ibrutinib Continuous therapy; AEs include fatigue, rash, neutropenia, infections; hypertension; pneumonia; atrial fibrillation; bleeding; myalgia/arthralgia
Acalabrutinib Continuous therapy; AEs include fatigue, rash, headache, diarrhea, infections; hypertension; atrial fibrillation; bleeding; pyrexia
Venetoclax plus obinutuzumab Time-limited treatment; AEs include fatigue, rash, tumor lysis syndrome, neutropenia, diarrhea, infections
Step 3: Consider patient characteristics impacting choice of therapy:
Venetoclax-based therapy preferred over BTK inhibitor
  • Cardiovascular disorders
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Anticoagulation
  • High risk for bleeding, low platelet counts
BTK inhibitor preferred over venetoclax-based therapy
  • Impaired creatinine clearance
  • Strong CYP3A inhibitors
BTK: Bruton tyrosine kinase; AEs: adverse effects.
* Venetoclax-based therapy and BTK inhibitors are equally acceptable next treatment options in this scenario.
