Acalabrutinib and its use in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma dramatically. In 2019, acalabrutinib was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory CLL and MCL. Acalabrutinib monotherapy was found to be effective and safe in CLL patients. In ASCEND and ELEVATE treatment-naive studies, acalabrutinib monotherapy and the combination with obinutuzumab demonstrated improved efficacy and an acceptable safety profile. The triple combination with venetoclax showed a high rate of molecular remission without an impaired safety profile. Adverse events, with an occurrence rate of >20%, were as follows: grade 1-2 myelosuppression, gastrointestinal toxicity, rash, constitutional symptoms; grade 3 or 4 toxicities were syncope, pneumonia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.

Cat.No. Product Name Information
S8116 Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a selective second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor with an IC50 of 3 nM, which prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. ACP-196 has improved target specificity with 323-, 94-, 19- and 9-fold selectivity over the other TEC kinase family members (ITK, TXK, BMX, and TEC, respectively) and no activity against EGFR.
