Results

The median treatment duration was 13.3 months (maximum, 28.2 months) for ibrutinib and 5.8 months (maximum, 27.3 months) for comparators. When adjusted for exposure, diarrhea, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension were the only common grade ≥ 3 AEs more often reported with ibrutinib than with the comparators. Dose reductions (7% vs. 14%) and discontinuation (12% vs. 16%) because of AEs occurred less often with ibrutinib, and deaths due to AEs occurred at similar rates (6% vs. 7%). When adjusted for exposure, the corresponding data were all lower with ibrutinib than with the comparators (0.06 vs. 0.22, 0.11 vs. 0.22, and 0.06 vs. 0.09 patient-exposure-years, respectively). The prevalence of common grade 3/4 AEs with ibrutinib generally decreased over time, with the exception of hypertension.

Conclusion

These results from an integrated analysis support a favorable benefit/risk profile of ibrutinib in patients with CLL/SLL and MCL.
