Acalabrutinib (4 month update) + Obinutuzumab ?
For starters, a quick
Acalabrutinib
update. I started
acalabrutinib
~ 4 months ago and my nodes and spleen are normal again (took only a few weeks) and my HGB and PLT counts are in normal range. My WBC is at 16 during last checkup, but much better than the 150 when I started.

Reduced Dose of Acalabrutinib
I am on a 50% reduction of
Acalabrutinib
(once a day). Does anyone know if this will also reduce the irreversible binding of the drug and therefore accelerate resistance o eh drug? Is there any data on this? Thanks.

starting acalabrutinib while waiting for pirtobrutinib to be FDA approved
They are starting him on
acalabrutinib
and rituxin . He is exceptionally weak. And fairly discouraged. Has anyone been down this path?

BTK Interruption & Disease Flare
I went off
acalabrutinib
nine days ago in preparation for a surgery - I was told to hold the medication for seven days before and after. Already the lymph nodes in my neck have started to swell. They hurt and I can feel them with my fingers, about the size of kidney beans.

Acalabrutinib - single dose regime
Hello, I have been on 1 cycle of alacabrutinib (28 days). Total WBC count initially rose from 140 to 300 (x 10^9/L), now down to 200. Have had problems with bruising and bleeding (platelets 60 to 80). Consultant suggests going from 2 x 100mg/day, down to a single dose of 100mg PD. However my (ancient

Ibrutinib to Acalabrutinib
My oncologist is switching me from IB to Calquence because I had some irregular heart activity. I have been on IB for 3.6 years and it has been very good for me. My question is have you also switched and how have you found it? When you started Calaquence was it a gradual weaning off IB or did you switch

Low Blood Sodium When On BTK Inhibitors
Wondering if anyone has developed low sodium levels while on
Acalabrutinib
, Ibrutinib, or Zanubrutinib. We are told to drink plenty of water while on these medications. My sodium levels have been dropping over the last few months. I know this can be caused by many things.

Had telephone consultation this morning.
Dr Munro (my consultant) said to continue with the Apixaban since it was ok with
Acalabrutinib
until after I have seen the cardiologist and then she will review the situation. I said I was quite happy to take anything which was necessary but didn't want to take unnecessary drugs.

SKIN WELTS!
Eventually they subsided, and I began treatment with
acalabrutinib
16 months ago. However, three months ago those welts started appearing once more, and it's still happening even though I'm temporarily off meds in preparation for surgery.

Possible AF
I told him I had
Acalabrutinib
and asked if it would be ok, he said he wasn’t up to speed with
Acalabrutinib
. I was reluctant to take medication without speaking to my Haematology Consultant. I was discharged from hospital after my leg was dressed.

Life without Ibrutinib
He has decided to let me run without treatment until we start to see doubling rate increase, then switch me to
Acalabrutinib
. Right now I’m in remission, and I’m waiting for the results of my MRD to see how long I can stay off treatment.

Managing the cardiovascular risk of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Low risk cases may be safely treated with BTKis; Favor more 2nd-generation BTKis (
acalabrutinib
or zanubrutinib) or alternative treatments. BTKi treatment may be continued in consultation with MDT for patients with: Permanent/persistent AF, HTN, History of myocardial infarction.

Calamity strikes again
I haven't had heart problems before but wonder if it is possible that there's a link to my
Acalabrutinib
. I have been prescribed blood thinners and beta blockers which I would rather not have unless they are essential. I am going to try and get an appointment with my GP.

Further evidence that even moderate exercise is good for your long term health - particularly when you have CLL!

acalabrutinib
, ibrutinib and zanubrutinib, with pirtobrutinib and others on the way), has dramatically changed survival times with CLL, these treatments

Side effectsof treatment
I have been given a booklet to read first,Welcome to Calquence (
acalabrutinib
) Has anyone been in this and did they suffer with side effects from it? There seems to be so many listed that I am a bit concerned as to how I will feel once started. Thanks

Anyone gone off Acalabrutinib and experienced lasting remission?
My husband has been taking A-brutinib since April 2021 (over a year now). His last blood showed blood levels at “normal” (non-CLL) numbers, and his onc was very pleased - “The drugs are doing their job.” The million dollar question we forgot to ask - can one go off A-brutinib the way it seems some do

Tachycardia and Ibrutinib
Waiting to speak to my consultant on the next steps….I would suspect a move to
Acalabrutinib
. I’m so annoyed because I have done so well on ibrutinib. No side effects and complete control of my disease. I guess these major events are a risk to us all…..

Coming off medication
I’ve been on
Acalabrutinib
for 10 months. WBC has dropped from 101 to 12.1 which is obviously good news. However my haematologist tells me even if/when WBC reaches normal I will continue on treatment. Has anyone had a similar experience and eventually come off treatment?
