Has anyone gone off Acalabrutinib and had upper respiratory issues immediately following it? Has anyone gone off Acalabrutinib and restarted it? Did it start reworking and how long did it take. I am very weak and fatigued.

Ironically my haematologist started me on Acalabrutinib because she said it would help with the sweating, but I cannot see any improvement.

Estimated 36-month overall survival was 94.1% with acalabrutinib–venetoclax, 87.7% with acalabrutinib–venetoclax–obinutuzumab, and 85.9% with chemoimmunotherapy.

After about 2 years I will end the trial taking Acalabrutinib and Venitoclax in a few weeks. Has anyone seen an improvement in their memory since ending the meds?

I’m on my 3rd month of Acalabrutinib and I must say I’m doing very well. I solved my headaches with iced coffee. Have a few aches in my legs. And a bit of inflammation in my nose. But my white blood cells are coming down and my heamaglobin is rising. So I must say I’m pleased with the result.

A few days ago I read on here about people who are on Acalabrutinib are suffering with muscle and joint pain. My question is - did you stop taking the tablets or reduce the dose or continue to suffer with the pain? I haven't yet discussed this with Dr's so looking fir advise. Thanks.

Hi I’ve been on Acalabrutinib for over two months now but feeling that my skin is getting a bit itchy like a heat rash. Can anyone suggest what I can put on it.

I have been on acalabrutinib for almost two years and I am beginning to think I could be the poster child for side effects. My hair is very brittle and breaking off and my nails seem to be disintegrating. They split down the middle and then peel in layers.

No significant difference was seen in terms of PFS between Ibrutinib monotherapy and Ibrutinib - Rituximab in the ALLIANCE trial.¹⁵ In the ELEVATE TN trial, at 6 years of follow-up, PFS was significantly longer in patients treated with Acalabrutinib plus Obinutuzumab versus Acalabrutinib, while

I’m taking Acalabrutinib with an antibiotic . I can’t understand that if I was to have infusion and a tablet I would only be on it for 7 months. But the same med in tablet form I am in it for life. Confused

At the end of March I will finish taking 2 years of Acalabrutinib & Venetoclax under the Majic trail. During this time my adverse effects have been minimal and all my blood counts are reasobale and I feel great.

On Acalabrutinib for two years and doing well. My question is this: does this mean kidney disease? Bilirubin has been mostly around 20 in previous bloodwork, twice has risen to 26, once before, but never over 30. My doc wants to check it again in the next three months.

In the meantime, he halved the acalabrutinib dose, but the symptoms have persisted. We have another appointment on Wednesday next week. My husband took the opportunity to get his bloods done on Friday so we have the results ready for the appointment.
