Abstract:
Acalabrutinib is a selective, second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In this open-label, parallel-group study, patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) were randomised to either acalabrutinib monotherapy or acalabrutinib plus rituximab. An additional cohort of patients with treatment-naive (TN) FL received only the acalabrutinib-rituximab combination. Acalabrutinib-rituximab was well tolerated and active in R/R and TN FL; in the TN cohort the overall response rate was 92.3% with most remissions lasting over 4 years. Acalabrutinib monotherapy was also well tolerated and active in R/R FL. These results support further study of acalabrutinib alone and in combination with rituximab in FL.
