MONOTHERAPY RESPONSE RATE

IMBRUVICA® is the only BTKi with up to 5 years of long-term follow-up data in monotherapy for WM1-3

Study designs and baseline characteristics

The efficacy and safety of IMBRUVICA® as a monotherapy for previously treated WM was evaluated in 2 single-arm trials1,3,4

iNNOVATE™ arm C was a substudy, single-arm, open-label trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of single-agent
ibrutinib in patient who had failed (ie, relapse, after <12 months or failure to achieve at least a minor response) prior rituximab-containing therapy (N=31). Response rate was a secondary endpoint.1,3

  • WM IPSS; low, 23%; intermediate, 35%; high, 42%5

  • Prior systematic treatments: 1-2, 29%; 3-4, 32%; ≥5, 39%5

  • ECOG performance status; 0-1, 81%; 2, 19%1

PCYC-1118 was a phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial of patients who received once-daily ibrutinib at 420 mg until disease progression or intolerance, with a primary endpoint of overall response rate, for up to 40 4-week cycles (N=63).1,4

  • WM IPSS; low, 22%; intermediate, 43%; high, 35%4

  • Prior systematic treatments; median, 2; range, 1-9; 0-2, 57%; ≥3, 43%2

  • ECOG performance status; 0, 75%; ≥1, 25%4

Monotherapy responses consistently observed in WM patients

Exploratory analysis: Sustained hemoglobin improvement3,8

iNNOVATE™ arm C
n/N (20/31)

  • Hemoglobin was prospectively collected in iNNOVATE™. An exploratory analysis was conducted to calculate a sustained hemoglobin improvement defined as an increase of ≥2 g/dL over baseline for at least 8 weeks without blood transfusions or growth factor support3,8
