Abstract:
Abstract Disregulated BCR signaling pathway plays an important role in the occurence and progress of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). As key kinases of BCR pathway, the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) have become the focus of CLL targeted therapy. Over the past decade, drugs targeting of BCR pathway for CLL treatment have been continuously developed, including BTK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors and SYK inhibitors. To date, the BTK inhibitor Ibrutinib, PI3K inhibitors Idelalisib and Duvelisib have been approved for CLL treatment, and some novel inhibitors are still in clinical trials. These targeted drugs are much less toxic than chemoimmunotherapy and show better efficacy in certain high-risk patients such as del 17P. These inhibitors targeted BCR pathway are increasingly prominent in CLL treatment and gradually replace traditional chemoimmunotherapy.
