Ibrutinib is a first-in-class, once-daily inhibitor of BTK approved in the United States for treatment of CLL/SLL. RESONATE-2 is a phase 3 study comparing first-line ibrutinib versus chlorambucil in patients with CLL/SLL. Primary results (median follow-up, 18.4 months) demonstrated ibrutinib reduced risk of progressive disease (PD) or death by 84% (Burger, 2015).
