Hi! Are you on Phase 3 clinical trial with your zanu and Sonroclax? I’m waiting to hear from Moffitt Cancer Center for my start date for that phase 3 trial!

Good luck!

Sonrotoclax, also known as BGB-11417, is a next-generation BCL2 inhibitor developed by BeiGene. It’s designed to be more potent and selective than venetoclax, the currently established BCL2 inhibitor. Sonrotoclax works by mimicking the BH3-only proteins to inhibit BCL2, a protein that helps cancer cells survive.

Clinical trials have shown promising results, particularly when sonrotoclax is combined with zanubrutinib, a second-generation BTK inhibitor. This combination aims to provide a more effective and less toxic treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In these trials, sonrotoclax demonstrated higher potency than venetoclax and had a shorter half-life, allowing for a more flexible dosing schedule .

The ongoing phase 1/2 trials for treatment-naive CLL/SLL patients showed no disease progression or deaths at median follow-ups of around 9.7 months. All patients in these trials responded to the treatment, with 32% achieving complete remission or near-complete remission. Additionally, minimal residual disease (MRD) levels showed significant improvement over time .

Sonrotoclax, when combined with zanubrutinib, aims to improve the standard of care by reducing toxicity compared to previous combinations such as ibrutinib and venetoclax, which were associated with higher adverse event rates .

For more detailed information, you can refer to the articles from the American Journal of Managed Care and CLL Society .

The haematologist had me at 60& white count at 600 she said she had never seen figures like this before .reds are now 118 ,whites are dropping past 300, thanks to the treatment,don’t know how they arrive at these figures but as long as the figures are in my favour I’m happy
