B-cell Receptor Pathway Mutations Are Infrequent in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia on Continuous Ibrutinib Therapy

PURPOSE: Acquired mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) or phospholipase C-γ2 (PLCG2) genes are associated with clinical progressive disease (PD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with BTK inhibitors. Data on mutation rates in patients without PD on ibrutinib tre...

Sumario:PURPOSE: Acquired mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) or phospholipase C-γ2 (PLCG2) genes are associated with clinical progressive disease (PD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with BTK inhibitors. Data on mutation rates in patients without PD on ibrutinib treatment are limited. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We evaluated frequency and time to detection of BTK and PLCG2 mutations in peripheral blood samples from 388 patients with previously untreated (n = 238) or relapsed/refractory (n = 150) CLL across five clinical trials. RESULTS: With median follow-up of 35 months (range, 0–72) without PD at last sampling, mutations in BTK (3%), PLCG2 (2%), or both genes (1%) were rare in previously untreated patients. With median follow-up of 35 months (range, 1–70) without PD at last sample, mutations in BTK (30%), PLCG2 (7%), or both genes (5%) were more common in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL. Median time to first detection of BTK C481S mutation was not reached in previously untreated patients and was >5 years in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL. Among patients evaluable at PD, previously untreated patients (n = 12) had lower rates than those with relapsed/refractory disease (n = 45) of BTK (25% vs. 49%) and PLCG2 mutations (8% vs. 13%). Time from first detection of BTK C481S mutation to PD was 11.3 months in 1 previously untreated patient and median 8.5 months (range, 0–35.7) among 23 patients with relapsed/refractory CLL. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic investigation describes development of mutations over time in patients without PD and informs the potential clinical opportunity to optimize ongoing benefits for such patients.
