评估 pirtobrutinib 用于复发/难治性套细胞淋巴瘤的治疗

INTRODUCTION: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is generally considered incurable. Covalent BTK inhibitors (cBTKi) are the cornerstone of treatment for relapsed or refractory (R/R) MCL, but treatment options are limited and prognosis is poor after cBTKi failure. Pirtobrutinib is a non-covalent BTK inhibitor that has demonstrated excellent efficacy and safety and represents an important new treatment in the evolving treatment landscape of R/R MCL. AREAS COVERED: This review will provide an overview of the therapeutic landscape of R/R MCL, characteristics of pirtobrutinib, and efficacy and safety data of pirtobrutinib in R/R MCL from pivotal clinical trials.

PubMed and major hematology conference proceedings were searched to identify relevant studies involving pirtobrutinib. EXPERT OPINION: For patients with R/R MCL that has progressed after treatment with cBTKi, pirtobrutinib is an important and efficacious treatment that confers favorable outcomes.

In the post-cBTKi setting, when chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is not available or feasible, pirtobrutinib is the preferred treatment for R/R MCL. How to sequence or combine pirtobrutinib with CAR T-cell therapy and other available or emerging therapies requires further investigation. Future studies should also explore the role of pirtobrutinib in earlier lines of therapy for MCL.
