Bruton's tyrosine kinase Inhibitors and Cardiotoxicity: More Than Just Atrial Fibrillation.
The purpose of this review is to summarize the epidemiology, mechanisms, and management of cardiovascular complications of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (BTKIs).. Ibrutinib increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and hypertension compared with non-BTKI therapies. The evidence to support an association between ibrutinib and other cardiovascular complications including ventricular tachyarrhythmias or cardiomyopathy is limited. Ibrutinib metabolism can be inhibited by some medications used to treat cardiovascular complications. The cardiovascular effects of more selective BTKIs, such as acalabrutinib, remain to be determined. Future research should address the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular complications of BTKIs and how best to manage them. The risks and benefits of more selective BTKIs as compared with ibrutinib require further evaluation.

An oral drug for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Ibrutinib is a new first-line drug for treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and could change frontline treatment of CLL from traditional IV chemotherapy to oral targeted therapy. Lymphocytosis often worsens with initiation of ibrutinib, but typically resolves over 6 to 18 months. Though patients generally tolerate ibrutinib well, the drug can cause adverse reactions including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and infections such as fungal pneumonia.

Managing toxicities of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has revolutionized the treatment landscape for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). By targeting this critical kinase in proximal B-cell receptor signaling, BTK inhibitors (BTKis) impair cell proliferation, migration, and activation of NF-κB. Clinically, because indefinite inhibition is a mainstay of therapy, there is an extended period of exposure in which adverse effects can develop. Given the impressive efficacy and activity of BTKis in the treatment of patients with CLL, appropriate management of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) is of paramount importance. Here we review the BTKi landscape and present the available toxicity and safety data for each agent. The long-term toxicity profile of ibrutinib, a first-in-class inhibitor, is well characterized and includes a clinically significant incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, bleeding, infection, diarrhea, arthralgias, and hypertension. Acalabrutinib, the initial second-generation BTKi to earn approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, demonstrates improved kinase selectivity for BTK, with commonly observed adverse reactions including infection, headache, and diarrhea. Mediated by both on-target inhibition of BTK and variable off-target inhibition of other kinases including interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK), tyrosine-protein kinase (TEC), and endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), the toxicity profile of BTKis is closely linked to their pattern of kinase binding. Other emerging BTKis include second-generation agents with variable degrees of kinase selectivity and third-generation agents that exhibit reversible noncovalent binding to BTK. We also highlight critical considerations for the prevention and monitoring of AEs and offer practical management strategies for treatment-emergent toxicities.

How I manage ibrutinib intolerance and complications in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) therapy has changed dramatically with the introduction of several targeted therapeutics. Ibrutinib was the first approved for use in 2014 and now is used for initial and salvage therapy of CLL patients. With its widespread use in clinical practice, ibrutinib's common and uncommon adverse events reported less frequently in earlier clinical trials have been experienced more frequently in real-world practice. In particular, atrial fibrillation, bleeding, infections, and arthralgias have been reported. The management of ibrutinib's adverse events often cannot be generalized but must be individualized to the patient and their long-term risk of additional complications. When ibrutinib was initially developed, there were limited therapeutic alternatives for CLL, which often resulted in treating through the adverse events. At the present time, there are several effective alternative agents available, so transition to an alternative CLL directed therapy may be considered. Given the continued expansion of ibrutinib across many therapeutic areas, investigation of the pathogenesis of adverse events with this agent and also clinical trials examining therapeutic approaches for complications arising during therapy are needed. Herein, we provide strategies we use in real-world CLL clinical practice to address common adverse events associated with ibrutinib.

Management of adverse effects/toxicity of ibrutinib.
Bruton tyrosine kinase signaling (BTK) is critical step for B-cell development and immunoglobulin synthesis. Ibrutinib is an orally bioavailable bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) and forms an irreversible covalent bound to BTK at the Cysteine-481 residue. Ibrutinib has been approved by FDA for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, marginal zone lymphoma and chronic graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Ibrutinib is generally well tolerated drug with rapid and durable responses but has some side events. The most common side effects are diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, bleeding, fatigue and cardiac side effects. These events are generally mild (grade I-II). However atrial fibrillation (AF) and bleeding are important and may be grade III or higher side effects require strict monitoring. Here side effects of ibrutinib have been summarized and important considerations in the management of these adverse events have been reviewed.

Btk Inhibitors as First Oral Atherothrombosis-Selective Antiplatelet Drugs?
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell differentiation and proliferation, but also platelets express Btk. Patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia due to hereditary Btk deficiency do not show bleeding, but a mild bleeding tendency is observed in high dose therapy of B-cell malignancies with ibrutinib and novel second-generation irreversible Btk inhibitors (acalabrutinib and ONO/GS-4059). This review discusses recent studies that may explain this apparent paradox and gives mechanistic insights that suggest a unique potential of low dose irreversible Btk inhibitors as atherothrombosis-focused antiplatelet drugs.

Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma: review of current evidence and future directions.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a heterogeneous and uncommon non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects predominantly older patients and often is associated with an aggressive clinical course. MCL relies upon B-cell receptor signaling through Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK); therefore, the development of the BTK inhibitors ibrutinib and acalabrutinib represents a therapeutic breakthrough. In this review, we provide a summary of the efficacy and safety data from the landmark trials of single-agent ibrutinib and acalabrutinib that led to US Food and Drug Administration approval of these agents for patients with relapsed or refractory MCL. Toxicities of interest observed with ibrutinib include bleeding, atrial fibrillation, and increased risk for infection. The selectivity of acalabrutinib for BTK is greater than that of ibrutinib, which mitigates the risk for certain off-target toxicities, including atrial fibrillation; however, these toxicities, along with frequent headaches, still occur. Ongoing clinical trials are investigating both alternate BTK inhibitors and BTK inhibitors in combination with chemo-immunotherapy or other targeted agents in an effort to enhance the depth and duration of response. Trials to evaluate the use of these agents in the frontline setting are emerging and are likely to build upon the success of BTK inhibitors in patients with MCL.

Atrial fibrillation as a complication of ibrutinib therapy: clinical features and challenges of management.
Ibrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor finding increasingly widespread use in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Evidence of an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) emerged in Phase III studies with a median incidence of approximately 6%. The mechanism remains unknown, but inhibition of a cardioprotective pathway has been proposed. Ibrutinib induces a platelet function defect, increasing the bleeding risk of anticoagulation for AF stroke prophylaxis. Multiple potential drug interactions are an added complication. In this review we examine the characteristics and management of the reported cases of AF with ibrutinib and where possible make recommendations. The evidence suggests dose reduction or temporary suspension of drug, are feasible alternative to discontinuation. The optimum choice of thromboprophylaxis has not been determined, but we propose the use of novel anticoagulants (NOACs) and avoidance of anti-platelet agents where possible. Further research and consensus guidelines are required.

How I treat CLL patients with ibrutinib.
Ibrutinib is a transformative therapy for high-risk and relapsed refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. In clinical trials in relatively healthy younger patients, ibrutinib has been well tolerated. As its use has become more widespread in the community, however, its full adverse event profile has emerged and proven more challenging than was initially anticipated. Reports of community-based use have estimated discontinuation rates as high as 40% in the first year of therapy. This article therefore reviews my approach to the evaluation and management of a CLL patient starting on ibrutinib, with the goal of minimizing and managing toxicity to maintain patients on ibrutinib. Key topics discussed include bleeding risk; cardiac complications, particularly atrial fibrillation; drug interactions; and infections.

Optimising outcomes for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia on ibrutinib therapy: European recommendations for clinical practice.
Ibrutinib is indicated in Europe for the treatment of several B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). However, despite the high efficacy and favourable toxicity profile of ibrutinib, recent data suggest that it is not always administered optimally in clinical practice, with an increased tendency for dose reduction and a higher frequency of discontinuation. An expert panel of European haematologists was convened to identify practical issues pertinent to physicians involved in the therapeutic management of ibrutinib-treated CLL patients and here we outline the findings. Practical management recommendations are given for treating patients with ibrutinib and clinical considerations for the management of adverse events (AEs) that can be associated with ibrutinib treatment are addressed. This article highlights that patients should be monitored for treatment emergent adverse events, most of which are mild, transient and generally occur early in therapy and that, even with more challenging AEs, patients can often be maintained on therapy with minimal disruption through careful management. The necessity to use the correct ibrutinib dose, along with increased awareness, vigilance, mitigation and management of AEs, are all recommended to maximise outcomes for CLL patients treated with ibrutinib.

Practical management of ibrutinib in the real life: Focus on atrial fibrillation and bleeding.
The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib (IB) has attained an important role in the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, mantle cell lymphoma, and Waldenström macroglobulinemia, significantly improving clinical outcomes. However, IB therapy has been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and bleeding. We report on the expert opinion that a group of Italian haematologists, cardiologists, and pharmacologists jointly released to improve the practical management of patients at risk for AF and bleeding during treatment with IB. A proper pretreatment assessment to identify patients who are at a higher risk, careful choice of concomitant drugs, regular monitoring, and multispecialist approach were characterized as the main principles of clinical management of these patients. For patients developing AF, anticoagulant and antiarrhythmic therapy must be guided by considerations about efficacy, safety, and risk of pharmacokinetic interactions with IB. For patients experiencing bleeding or requiring procedures that increase the risk of bleeding, considerations about platelet turnover, IB-related platelet dysfunctions, and bleeding worsening by concomitant anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents provide clues to manage bleeding. Overall, AF and bleeding are manageable clinical events in patients receiving IB, not requiring drug interruption in most cases. Preexisting AF should not represent an absolute contraindication to IB therapy. For each patient candidate for IB, strategies of risk assessment and mitigation may allow to exploit the life-saving effects of in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and mantle cell lymphoma.

Monitoring and Management of Toxicities of Novel B Cell Signaling Agents.
B cell signaling agents, including ibrutinib, idelalisib, and the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax have become an integral part of therapy for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The toxicity profiles of these medications is distinct from chemoimmunotherapy. Here, we will review the mechanism of action of these drugs, their efficacy, and toxicity management.. Ibrutinib use is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation and bleeding which can be managed using dose interruptions and modifications. Patients on idelalisib require close clinical and frequent laboratory monitoring, particularly of liver function tests to ensure there are no serious adverse events. Monitoring for infections is important in patients on both idelalisib and ibrutinib. Venetoclax requires close clinical and laboratory monitoring to prevent significant tumor lysis. Targeted B cell receptor therapies each have unique side effect profiles which require careful clinical monitoring. As we continue to use these therapies, optimal management strategies will continue to be elucidated.

Current Status of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Development and Use in B-Cell Malignancies.
The B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway plays an important role in the survival, proliferation and trafficking of cancer cells in a variety of B-cell malignancies. Recently, a number of agents have been developed to target various components of the BCR pathway. One such target is Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a Tec family kinase member found near the cell membrane that is involved in upstream BCR signaling. The biological function of BTK in several B-cell lymphoid malignancies has led to the development of the oral BTK inhibitor ibrutinib. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), ibrutinib has demonstrated durable clinical responses in relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients, including those with the high-risk del(17p) cytogenetic abnormality. These findings have paved the way for trials evaluating ibrutinib in previously untreated CLL patients, and also in combination with chemoimmunotherapy or other novel agents. Durable clinical responses have also been demonstrated in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) patients treated with ibrutinib. Ibrutinib is generally well tolerated, although current follow-up remains short and patients of advanced age are more likely to discontinue treatment for toxicity. Treatment-specific side effects such as bleeding and atrial fibrillation may, at least partly, be related to off-target inhibition of non-BTK kinases. Studies evaluating other potential indications for BTK inhibition are ongoing, including in post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients for whom ibrutinib may be effective in modulating graft-versus-host disease. Combination trials of ibrutinib with venetoclax, a Bcl-2 inhibitor, are underway and are supported by sound preclinical rationale. Several next-generation BTK inhibitors are under development with the goal of decreasing treatment-related toxicity and resistance.

Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Bleeding Diathesis Associated With Ibrutinib Treatment: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis of Four Randomized Controlled Trials.
Clinical trials raised concern that ibrutinib may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation/flutter (Afib/Aflutter) and major bleeding. However, the association has not been statistically validated, and there is no consensus regarding optimal management of anticoagulation among patients receiving ibrutinib who develop Afib/Aflutter. We performed a systematic review and pooled analysis to precisely assess the risk of Afib/Aflutter and bleeding associated with ibrutinib treatment in patients with hematologic malignancies.. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Database, and meeting abstracts up to May 15, 2016, for randomized controlled trials comparing ibrutinib to chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody, or a combination. Primary outcomes were serious Afib/Aflutter and major bleeding. Secondary outcomes were all-grade Afib/Aflutter and bleeding. We calculated the Mantel-Haenszel risk ratio (RR) and estimated the effect of the treatments using a fixed-effects model.. Ibrutinib treatment was associated with a significantly higher incidence of serious Afib/Aflutter (3.03% vs. 0.80%, RR = 3.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.56-9.29, P = .003), all-grade Afib/Aflutter (8.18% vs. 0.93%, RR = 8.81, 95% CI = 2.70-28.75, P = .0003), and all-grade bleeding (4.85% vs. 1.55%, RR = 2.93, 95% CI = 1.14-7.52, P = .03) compared to control treatments. The observed between-treatment difference in major bleeding rates was not statistically significant (3.69% vs. 2.13%, RR = 1.72, 95% CI = 0.95-3.11, P = .07). The risk of these adverse events was not different between subgroups on the basis of pathology, treatment setting, dose, and duration of ibrutinib exposure.. The risks of Afib/Aflutter and all-grade bleeding were significantly higher in the ibrutinib group. These results indicate the need for vigilant monitoring while the patient is receiving ibrutinib therapy, and careful assessment of the risks and benefits of anticoagulation is required.

Ibrutinib-associated bleeding: pathogenesis, management and risk reduction strategies.
Ibrutinib is an irreversible inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) that has proven to be an effective therapeutic agent for multiple B-cell-mediated lymphoproliferative disorders. Ibrutinib, however, carries an increased bleeding risk compared with standard chemotherapy. Bleeding events range from minor mucocutaneous bleeding to life-threatening hemorrhage, due in large part to the effects of ibrutinib on several distinct platelet signaling pathways. There is currently a minimal amount of data to guide clinicians regarding the use of ibrutinib in patients at high risk of bleeding or on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. In addition, the potential cardiovascular protective effects of ibrutinib monotherapy in patients at risk of vascular disease are unknown. Patients should be cautioned against using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oils, vitamin E and aspirin-containing products, and consider replacing ibrutinib with a different agent if dual antiplatelet therapy is indicated. Patients should not take vitamin K antagonists concurrently with ibrutinib; direct oral anticoagulants should be used if extended anticoagulation is strongly indicated. In this review, we describe the pathophysiology of ibrutinib-mediated bleeding and suggest risk reduction strategies for common clinical scenarios associated with ibrutinib.

B cell receptor inhibition as a target for CLL therapy.
Inhibitors of the B cell receptor (BCR) represent an attractive therapeutic option for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Recently approved inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (ibrutinib) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (idelalisib), are promising agents because they are generally well tolerated and highly effective. These agents may be particularly important in the treatment of older patients who are less able to tolerate the myelosuppression (and infections) associated with chemoimmunotherapy. As a class of medications, BCR inhibitors have some unique side effects including redistribution lymphocytosis. Ibrutinib has specific toxicities including increased risk for bleeding and atrial fibrillation. Idelalisib also has some unique toxicities consisting of transaminitis, diarrhea and pneumonitis. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating these agents in combination with antibodies, chemotherapy and other small molecules.

Walking a tightrope: clinical use of ibrutinib in mantle cell lymphoma in the elderly.
Representative clinical case. A 74-year-old male patient was diagnosed with stage 3 mantle cell lymphoma in 2012. Because he was ineligible for intensive treatment (age, previous myocardial infarction [MI]), he received rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemoimmunotherapy for 6 cycles (reaching complete response) and then rituximab maintenance (RM) for 2 years. One year after the end of RM, he relapsed with disseminated disease. He was started on ibrutinib 560 mg/day. Two weeks after the start of ibrutinib, he developed grade 3 diarrhea that required interruption of ibrutinib. Two weeks after the regular dose was restarted (month 3), the patient had repeated bleeding (patient was receiving aspirin for previous MI) and had to stop ibrutinib again. Because the patient was in partial response (PR) with lack of disease-associated symptoms, he was restarted on ibrutinib 280 mg/day with no further adverse events, and he had maintained PR at last follow-up (month 9 on ibrutinib).

Detailed safety profile of acalabrutinib vs ibrutinib in previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the ELEVATE-RR trial.
ELEVATE-RR demonstrated noninferior progression-free survival and lower incidence of key adverse events (AEs) with acalabrutinib vs ibrutinib in previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We further characterize AEs of acalabrutinib and ibrutinib via post hoc analysis. Overall and exposure-adjusted incidence rate was assessed for common Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor-associated AEs and for selected events of clinical interest (ECIs). AE burden scores based on previously published methodology were calculated for AEs overall and selected ECIs. Safety analyses included 529 patients (acalabrutinib, n = 266; ibrutinib, n = 263). Among common AEs, incidences of any-grade diarrhea, arthralgia, urinary tract infection, back pain, muscle spasms, and dyspepsia were higher with ibrutinib, with 1.5- to 4.1-fold higher exposure-adjusted incidence rates. Incidences of headache and cough were higher with acalabrutinib, with 1.6- and 1.2-fold higher exposure-adjusted incidence rate, respectively. Among ECIs, incidences of any-grade atrial fibrillation/flutter, hypertension, and bleeding were higher with ibrutinib, as were exposure-adjusted incidence rates (2.0-, 2.8-, and 1.6-fold, respectively); incidences of cardiac events overall (the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities system organ class) and infections were similar between arms. Rate of discontinuation because of AEs was lower for acalabrutinib (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.93). AE burden score was higher for ibrutinib vs acalabrutinib overall and for the ECIs atrial fibrillation/flutter, hypertension, and bleeding. A limitation of this analysis is its open-label study design, which may influence the reporting of more subjective AEs. Overall, event-based analyses and AE burden scores demonstrated higher AE burden overall and specifically for atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and hemorrhage with ibrutinib vs acalabrutinib. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02477696.

Long-term safety of single-agent ibrutinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 3 pivotal studies.
Ibrutinib, a first-in-class once-daily oral Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), is continued until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. We conducted an integrated safety analysis of single-agent ibrutinib from randomized phase 3 studies PCYC-1112 (RESONATE, n = 195) and PCYC-1115/1116 (RESONATE-2, n = 135), and examined longer-term safety separately in the phase 1b/2 PCYC-1102/1103 study (n = 94, 420 mg/d). In the integrated analysis (ibrutinib treatment up to 43 months), the most common adverse events (AEs) were primarily grade 1/2; diarrhea (n = 173, 52% any-grade; n = 15, 5% grade 3) and fatigue (n = 119, 36% any-grade; n = 10, 3% grade 3). The most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (n = 60, 18%) and pneumonia (n = 38, 12%). Over time, prevalence of AEs of interest (diarrhea, fatigue, grade ≥3 infection, bleeding, and neutropenia) trended down; prevalence of hypertension increased, but incidence decreased after year 1. AEs led to dose reductions in 42 (13%) patients and permanent discontinuations in 37 (11%); dose modifications due to AEs were most common during year 1 and decreased in frequency thereafter. The most common AEs (preferred term) contributing to discontinuation included pneumonia (n = 4), anemia (n = 3), and atrial fibrillation (n = 3). With long-term follow-up on PCYC-1102/1103 (ibrutinib treatment up to 67 months), grade 3/4 AEs were generally similar to those in the integrated analysis. Overall, AEs were primarily grade 1/2 and manageable during prolonged ibrutinib treatment in patients with CLL. These trials were registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01578707, #NCT01722487, #NCT01724346, #NCT01105247, and #NCT01109069.

Use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia treated with single-agent ibrutinib.
Bleeding events have been observed among a subgroup of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients treated with ibrutinib. We analysed data from two studies of single-agent ibrutinib to better characterize bleeding events and pattern of anticoagulation and antiplatelet use. Among 327 ibrutinib-treated patients, concomitant anticoagulation (11%) or antiplatelet use (34%) was common, but major bleeding was infrequent (2%). Bleeding events were primarily grade 1, and infrequently (1%) led to discontinuation. Among 175 patients receiving concomitant anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents, 5 had major bleeding events (3%). These events were typically observed in conjunction with other factors, such as coexisting medical conditions and/or concurrent medications.

Ibrutinib combined with bendamustine and rituximab compared with placebo, bendamustine, and rituximab for previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (HELIOS): a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 study.
Most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma relapse after initial therapy. Bendamustine plus rituximab is often used in the relapsed or refractory setting. We assessed the efficacy and safety of adding ibrutinib, an oral covalent inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), to bendamustine plus rituximab in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.. The HELIOS trial was an international, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study in adult patients (≥18 years of age) who had active chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma with measurable lymph node disease (>1·5 cm) by CT scan, and had relapsed or refractory disease following one or more previous lines of systemic therapy consisting of at least two cycles of a chemotherapy-containing regimen, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and adequate bone marrow, liver, and kidney function. Patients with del(17p) were excluded because of known poor response to bendamustine plus rituximab. Patients who had received previous treatment with ibrutinib or other BTK inhibitors, refractory disease or relapse within 24 months with a previous bendamustine-containing regimen, or haemopoietic stem-cell transplant were also excluded. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) by a web-based system to receive bendamustine plus rituximab given in cycles of 4 weeks' duration (bendamustine: 70 mg/m(2) intravenously on days 2-3 in cycle 1, and days 1-2 in cycles 2-6; rituximab: 375 mg/m(2) on day 1 of cycle 1, and 500 mg/m(2) on day 1 of cycles 2-6 for a maximum of six cycles) with either ibrutinib (420 mg daily orally) or placebo until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients were stratified according to whether they were refractory to purine analogues and by number of previous lines of therapy. The primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed progression-free survival. Crossover to ibrutinib was permitted for patients in the placebo group with IRC-confirmed disease progression. Analysis was by intention-to-treat and is continuing for further long-term follow-up. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01611090.. Between Sept 19, 2012, and Jan 21, 2014, 578 eligible patients were randomly assigned to ibrutinib or placebo in combination with bendamustine plus rituximab (289 in each group). The primary endpoint was met at the preplanned interim analysis (March 10, 2015). At a median follow-up of 17 months (IQR 13·7-20·7), progression-free survival was significantly improved in the ibrutinib group compared with the placebo group (not reached in the ibrutinib group (95% CI not evaluable) vs 13·3 months (11·3-13·9) in the placebo group (hazard ratio [HR] 0·203, 95% CI 0·150-0·276; p<0·0001). IRC-assessed progression-free survival at 18 months was 79% (95% CI 73-83) in the ibrutinib group and 24% (18-31) in the placebo group (HR 0·203, 95% CI 0·150-0·276; p<0·0001). The most frequent all-grade adverse events were neutropenia and nausea. 222 (77%) of 287 patients in the ibrutinib group and 212 (74%) of 287 patients in the placebo group reported grade 3-4 events; the most common grade 3-4 adverse events in both groups were neutropenia (154 [54%] in the ibrutinib group vs 145 [51%] in the placebo group) and thrombocytopenia (43 [15%] in each group). A safety profile similar to that previously reported with ibrutinib and bendamustine plus rituximab individually was noted.. In patients eligible for bendamustine plus rituximab, the addition of ibrutinib to this regimen results in significant improvements in outcome with no new safety signals identified from the combination and a manageable safety profile..

Incidence and risk factors of bleeding-related adverse events in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with ibrutinib.
Ibrutinib is associated with bleeding-related adverse events of grade ≤ 2 in severity, and infrequently with grade ≥ 3 events. To investigate the mechanisms of bleeding and identify patients at risk, we prospectively assessed platelet function and coagulation factors in our investigator-initiated trial of single-agent ibrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At a median follow-up of 24 months we recorded grade ≤ 2 bleeding-related adverse events in 55% of 85 patients. No grade ≥ 3 events occurred. Median time to event was 49 days. The cumulative incidence of an event plateaued by 6 months, suggesting that the risk of bleeding decreases with continued therapy. At baseline, von Willebrand factor and factor VIII levels were often high and normalized on treatment. Platelet function measured via the platelet function analyzer (PFA-100™) was impaired in 22 patients at baseline and in an additional 19 patients on ibrutinib (often transiently). Collagen and adenosine diphosphate induced platelet aggregation was tested using whole blood aggregometry. Compared to normal controls, response to both agonists was decreased in all patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, whether on ibrutinib or not. Compared to untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients, response to collagen showed a mild further decrement on ibrutinib, while response to adenosine diphosphate improved. All parameters associated with a significantly increased risk of bleeding-related events were present at baseline, including prolonged epinephrine closure time (HR 2.74, P=0.012), lower levels of von Willebrand factor activity (HR 2.73, P=0.009) and factor VIII (HR 3.73, P=0.0004). In conclusion, both disease and treatment-related factors influence the risk of bleeding. Patients at greater risk for bleeding of grade ≤ 2 can be identified by clinical laboratory tests and counseled to avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and fish oils.

Incidence of major bleeding in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia receiving ibrutinib and therapeutic anticoagulation.
Increased rates of clinically significant bleeding have been reported with ibrutinib, however, limited data is available on the risk when given with concomitant therapeutic anticoagulation. We analyzed the incidence of major bleeding in 64 patient exposures that received ibrutinib with concomitant therapeutic anticoagulation. Major bleeding was observed in 5/64 (8%) patient exposures. The highest incidence was observed with rivaroxaban (3/17, 18%), followed by apixaban (2/35, 6%). No major bleeding events were seen with enoxaparin ( Topics: Anticoagulants; Hemorrhage; Humans; Incidence; Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell; Prospective Studies; Retrospective Studies | 2023 |
Bleeding risk with concurrent use of anticoagulants and ibrutinib: A population-based nested case-control study.
Data regarding the safety of co-administration of ibrutinib with anticoagulants in real-life settings are scarce. Using a nationwide database, we conducted a nested case-control study in a cohort of new users of ibrutinib to assess the risk of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) associated with anticoagulation. Cases were patients with a diagnosis of CRB, defined as hospitalization with a diagnosis of bleeding. The date of CRB constituted the index date. Up to four controls were matched on sex, age at index date and duration of follow-up. The risk of CRB associated with anticoagulation in patients receiving ibrutinib was estimated using conditional logistic regression models, providing odds ratios (OR) adjusted for risk factors of bleeding. Among 614 cases and 2407 matched controls, the risk of CRB was significantly higher in patients receiving both ibrutinib and anticoagulants (adjusted OR [aOR] 2.54, confidence interval [CI] 95% [1.94; 3.32]). When considering anticoagulant class, aOR was 1.99 (CI 95% [1.19; 3.33]) for VKA, 2.48 (CI 95% [1.76; 3.47]) for direct oral anticoagulants and 3.40 (CI 95% [2.01; 5.75]) for parenteral anticoagulants. In conclusion, this study found a 2.5-fold increased risk of CRB in patients receiving both ibrutinib and anticoagulants in real-life settings, and similar aOR among oral anticoagulants.

Incidence of cardiovascular and bleeding events and reasons for discontinuation in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with ibrutinib-A retrospective analysis on consecutive patients from a well-defined region.
Ibrutinib treatment is associated with cardiovascular side effects, in particular atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension, as well as increased risk of bleeding. Here, we aimed at describing the incidence of these events during long-term follow-up in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated outside clinical trials as well as identifying clinical factors predictive of developing AF. Additionally, other reasons for treatment withdrawal were analyzed.. The study was retrospective, data were collected from medical records.. A total of 134 patients were identified. Median follow-up was 32 months (range 3-103) and median duration of ibrutinib treatment was 26 months (range 1-103). Of 110 patients with no prior history of AF, 24.5% were diagnosed during treatment. Newly diagnosed or worsening of pre-existing hypertension occurred in 15.7%. Sixty-six % of the patients experienced bleeding events, of which 7.5% grade 3-4. Treatment discontinuation and dose reduction occurred in 68% and 47% of the patients, respectively, mostly due to toxicity.. The incidence of AF was high and at a median follow-up of 2.5 years, two-thirds of the patients discontinued treatment mostly due to bleeding and infections. Treatment-related toxicity of any grade should be regarded as a concern of prolonged ibrutinib therapy.

Perioperative Bleeding Associated With Ibrutinib in Dermatologic Surgery: A Case-Control Study.
Ibrutinib, an irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been associated with an increased risk of bleeding. There is a paucity of data on the risk of bleeding in patients on ibrutinib undergoing dermatologic surgery.. To determine the frequency of bleeding complications associated with ibrutinib in patients undergoing dermatologic surgery.. A retrospective, single-center, case-control study of patients on ibrutinib undergoing skin surgery between January 2013 and March 2020 compared with sex, disease, and age-matched control patients undergoing cutaneous surgeries.. A total of 75 surgeries performed on 37 case patients and 116 surgeries performed on 64 control patients were included. Ibrutinib was associated with a statistically significant increased rate of bleeding events (6/75 [8%] vs 1/116 [0.8%], p -value = .02). Compared with ibrutinib patients who did not have a bleeding event, those on ibrutinib who suffered bleeding were all men, older (mean age 82.7 vs 73.0, p -value= .01), and had lower mean platelet counts (104.0 vs 150.5 K/μL, p -value = .03).. Ibrutinib may be associated with increased risk of bleeding in patients with hematologic malignancies, particularly older men with lower platelet levels and on multiple anticoagulants. Transient discontinuation of ibrutinib should be considered for dermatologic surgeries.

Ibrutinib in patients with atrial fibrillation - the challenge of thromboembolic prophylaxis.
Ibrutinib is a novel drug used in haematological malignancies. Its use is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), which, in turn, exposes patients to embolic risk, including stroke. Reducing this risk requires anticoagulant therapy which is a matter of concern in the context of the increased bleeding risk of patients with haematological malignancies. In this context the presence of thrombocytopenia related to haematological disorder, ibrutinib-anticoagulants and ibrutinib-platelets interactions contribute to the amplification of the problem. The correct assessment of the thrombosis vs. haemorrhage balance represents a significant challenge for the clinician. In this paper we discuss practical issues related to anticoagulation in patients treated with ibrutinib and incident AF.

Incidence of and risk factors for major haemorrhage in patients treated with ibrutinib: An integrated analysis.
Ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is approved for treatment of various B-cell malignancies. In ibrutinib clinical studies, low-grade haemorrhage was common, whereas major haemorrhage (MH) was infrequent. We analysed the incidence of and risk factors for MH from 15 ibrutinib clinical studies (N = 1768), including 4 randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Rates of any-grade bleeding were similar for single-agent ibrutinib and ibrutinib combinations (39% and 40%). Low-grade bleeding was more common in ibrutinib-treated than comparator-treated patients (35% and 15%), and early low-grade bleeding was not associated with MH. The proportion of MH in RCTs was higher with ibrutinib than comparators (4.4% vs. 2.8%), but after adjusting for longer exposure with ibrutinib (median 13 months vs. 6 months), the incidence of MH was similar (3.2 vs. 3.1 per 1000 person-months). MH led to treatment discontinuation in 1% of all ibrutinib-treated patients. Use of anticoagulants and/or antiplatelets (AC/AP) during the study was common (~50% of patients) and had an increased exposure-adjusted relative risk for MH in both the total ibrutinib-treated population (1.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-3.0) and RCT comparator-treated patients (2.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-5.6), indicating that ibrutinib may not alter the effect of AC/AP on the risk of MH in B-cell malignancies.

Major hemorrhage in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients in the US Veterans Health Administration system in the pre-ibrutinib era: Incidence and risk factors.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients are at increased risk for major hemorrhage (MH). We examined incidence of and risk factors for MH in CLL patients before introduction of newer CLL therapies such as ibrutinib, which includes bleeding risk. This study included 24 198 CLL patients treated in the VA system before FDA approval of ibrutinib as CLL therapy. Data came from VA databases from 1999 to 2013. MH incidence was 1.9/100 person-years (95% CI: 1.8-1.9), with cumulative incidences of 2.3%, 5.2%, and 7.3% by year 1, 3, and 5, respectively. Median time from CLL diagnosis to MH was 2.8 years (range: 0-15.7 years). In multivariate analyses, concurrent anticoagulant and antiplatelet use (HR: 4.2; 95% CI: 3.2-5.6), anticoagulant use only (HR: 2.6; 95% CI: 2.3-3.1), and antiplatelet use only (HR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.3-1.7) increased MH risk vs not receiving those medications; being nonwhite, male, having MH history, renal impairment, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and alcohol abuse were associated with increased MH risk. These pre-ibrutinib data are important for providing context for interpreting MH risk in ibrutinib-treated patients. As ibrutinib clinical use is increasing, updated analyses of MH risk among ibrutinib-treated VA patients with CLL may provide additional useful insight.

Predictors of atrial fibrillation in ibrutinib-treated CLL patients: a prospective study.
Ibrutinib is an oral irreversible inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, indicated for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The drug is generally well tolerated; however, not infrequent side effects are reported, with the major two being bleeding and ibrutinib-related atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation pathogenesis in this setting is not completely clear, and no prospective studies have evaluated the impact of previous cardiologic history and baseline characteristics.. We prospectively performed cardiologic assessment in 43 CLL patients before starting ibrutinib therapy. Cardiologic workup included comorbidity collection and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic baseline evaluation.. After a median observation of 8 months, seven patients developed atrial fibrillation (16.3%). Cases developing atrial fibrillation were all elderly males (p = 0.04), and mostly with a history of previous arterial hypertension (p = 0.009). Atrial fibrillation occurrence also correlated with the presence of one or more pre-existent cardiologic comorbidities (p = 0.03), with a higher atrial fibrillation risk score (calculated with comorbidities and cardiologic risk factor evaluation p < 0.001), and with higher left atrial diameter (p = 0.02) and area (p = 0.03) by echocardiography. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation was managed after an integrated cardio-oncologic evaluation: anticoagulation was started in 4 (57.1%) patients and beta-blockers or amiodarone in 5 (71.4%). One patient underwent electric cardioversion and another patient pacemaker positioning to normalise heart rate in order to continue ibrutinib.. Our data show that echocardiography is a highly informative and reproducible tool that should be included in pre-treatment workup for patients who are candidates for ibrutinib therapy.

Ibrutinib-related bleeding: pathogenesis, clinical implications and management.
: Ibrutinib is the first drug of a new family of Bruton's tyrosine kinases (Btk)-inhibiting agents, which have proved to be useful for the treatment of several B-cell lymphoid malignancies. This drug is associated to an increased bleeding risk from initial clinical trials especially in association with warfarin. Although Btk plays an important role in platelet signalling, increased bleeding tendency in patients on ibrutinib is more complex than Btk inhibition alone and is because of several antiplatelet mechanisms, namely inhibition of Btk and Tec kinases, which play a key role in platelet activation downstream of the collagen GPVI and Glycoprotein Ib. This risk is increased by concomitant antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy; both dual antiplatelet therapy and vitamin K antagonists are contraindicated in these patients. Potential ibrutinib users often have age-associated cardiovascular risk factors or conditions and the drug itself may trigger atrial fibrillation requiring antithrombotic therapy. Aspirin and direct oral anticoagulants can be regarded as the antithrombotic therapies of choice if required. Heparin and fondaparinux have also been used in clinical trials. Therefore, the need and duration of antithrombotic therapy must be carefully evaluated and treatment individualized according to clinical circumstances. Ibrutinib withdrawal and platelet transfusion are key for the management of major bleeding not involving the central nervous system.

Risk of Major Bleeding with Ibrutinib.
The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ibrutinib, is an effective therapy against mature B-cell malignancies. Although generally well tolerated, serious bleeding emerged during developmental clinical trials as an unexpected, although uncommon, adverse event. As the use of ibrutinib increases outside of the clinical trial setting and in patients with more comorbidities, the rate of major bleeding could be greater.. A retrospective analysis the data from all patients at our center and its regional clinics who had been prescribed ibrutinib from January 2012 to May 2016 were reviewed for demographic data, comorbid illnesses, bleeding events, and concurrent medications.. We identified 70 patients. Bleeding of any grade occurred in 56% of patients, mostly grade 1 to 2 bruising and epistaxis. Major bleeding, defined as grade ≥ 3, occurred in 19% of patients, greater than previously reported. Anemia (hemoglobin < 12 g/dL; hazard ratio [HR], 5.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-18.2; P = .02) and an elevated international normalized ratio (> 1.5; HR, 9.5; 95% CI, 2.7-33.5; P < .01) at ibrutinib initiation were associated with an increased risk of major bleeding. Of those with major bleeding, most patients were also taking an antiplatelet agent (70%), an anticoagulant (17%), or a CYP 3A4 inhibitor (7%), with 13% taking both antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications. The use of both antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy significantly increased the risk of a major bleed event (HR, 19.2; 95% CI, 2.3-166.7; P < .01).. The results of the present study have demonstrated a greater rate of major bleeding with ibrutinib use in a standard clinical setting than previously reported. Patients with anemia or an elevated international normalized ratio or requiring anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet medications during ibrutinib therapy have a significantly increased risk of major bleeding. Careful consideration of the risks and benefits for this population is needed. The combination of antiplatelet and anticoagulation medications with ibrutinib therapy is of particular concern.

Ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation for monitoring of bleeding tendency in CLL treated with ibrutinib.
Bleeding because of impaired platelet function is a major side effect of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib. We quantitatively assessed ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA) in 64 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) under ibrutinib at 287 time points. Eighty-seven bleeding episodes in 39 patients were registered (85 Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) grade 1 or 2, 2 CTC grade 3) during a median observation period of 10.9 months. At times of bleeding, RIPA values were significantly lower (14 vs 28 U; P<0.0001). RIPA was impaired in patients receiving concomitant antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation (14 vs 25 U, P=0.005). A gradual decline of median RIPA values was observed with increasing bleeding severity. Importantly, no CTC grade 2 or 3 bleeding were observed with RIPA values of >36 U. Sequential monitoring indicated a decrease of RIPA values from a median of 17 to 9 U within 2 weeks after initiation of treatment as well as an increase above the critical threshold of 36 U within 7 days when ibrutinib was paused. Low RIPA values were similar during treatment with another BTK inhibitor, CC292. Quantitative assessment of platelet function is a practical tool to monitor bleeding tendency under BTK-inhibitor therapy.

Atrial fibrillation in CLL patients treated with ibrutinib. An international retrospective study.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in 5-9% of patients treated with ibrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL); the clinical consequences and optimal management are unclear. We retrospectively studied 56 CLL patients who received ibrutinib and developed AF. Median time to onset was 3·8 months. AF was persistent in 35/56 (62%) cases despite treatment. Clinical consequences included: three episodes of severe cardiac failure (one fatal) and one stroke; eight non-thrombocytopenic patients (14%) experienced severe bleeding adverse events. Altogether, ibrutinib was permanently discontinued in 26/56 cases (46%). Data to guide optimal management are lacking and clinical practice guidelines are urgently needed.

Ibrutinib inhibits collagen-mediated but not ADP-mediated platelet aggregation.
The BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) inhibitor ibrutinib is associated with an increased risk of bleeding. A previous study reported defects in collagen- and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-dependent platelet responses when ibrutinib was added ex vivo to patient samples. Whereas the collagen defect is expected given the central role of BTK in glycoprotein VI signaling, the ADP defect lacks a mechanistic explanation. In order to determine the real-life consequences of BTK platelet blockade, we performed light transmission aggregometry in 23 patients receiving ibrutinib treatment. All patients had reductions in collagen-mediated platelet aggregation, with a significant association between the degree of inhibition and the occurrence of clinical bleeding or bruising (P=0.044). This collagen defect was reversible on drug cessation. In contrast to the previous ex vivo report, we found no in vivo ADP defects in subjects receiving standard doses of ibrutinib. These results establish platelet light transmission aggregometry as a method for gauging, at least qualitatively, the severity of platelet impairment in patients receiving ibrutinib treatment.

Ibrutinib Inhibits Platelet Integrin αIIbβ3 Outside-In Signaling and Thrombus Stability But Not Adhesion to Collagen.
Ibrutinib is an irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for treatment of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and mantle cell lymphoma that increases the risk of bleeding among patients. Platelets from ibrutinib-treated patients exhibit deficiencies in collagen-evoked signaling in suspension; however, the significance of this observation and how it relates to bleeding risk is unclear, as platelets encounter immobile collagen in vivo. We sought to clarify the effects of ibrutinib on platelet function to better understand the mechanism underlying bleeding risk.. By comparing signaling in suspension and during adhesion to immobilized ligands, we found that the collagen signaling deficiency caused by ibrutinib is milder during adhesion to immobilized collagen. We also found that platelets in whole blood treated with ibrutinib adhered to collagen under arterial shear but formed unstable thrombi, suggesting that the collagen signaling deficiency caused by ibrutinib may not be the predominant cause of bleeding in vivo. However, clot retraction and signaling evoked by platelet adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen were also inhibited by ibrutinib, indicating that integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling is also effected in addition to GPVI signaling. When ibrutinib was combined with the P2Y12 inhibitor, cangrelor, thrombus formation under arterial shear was inhibited additively.. These findings suggest that (1) ibrutinib causes GPVI and integrin αIIbβ3 platelet signaling deficiencies that result in formation of unstable thrombi and may contribute toward bleeding observed in vivo and (2) combining ibrutinib with P2Y12 antagonists, which also inhibit thrombus stability, may have a detrimental effect on hemostasis.
