ASH 2023 | Pre-clinical study on the dual BCL2/BCL-XL inhibitor AZD0466 for the treatment of CLL
BCL2 inhibitors (BCL2i) have revolutionized the treatment paradigm in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with venetoclax commonly being administered in both the frontline and relapsed/refractory (R/R) setting. However, some patients develop resistance due to mutations in BCL2 and deregulation of apoptotic pathways. Stephan Stilgenbauer, MD, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany, highlights the need for developing novel agents that will allow for the treatment of patients with resistance to BCL2i and presents the findings of a pre-clinical study of AZD0466, a dual BCL-2/BCL-XL inhibitor. The agent has demonstrated promising efficacy in lab models and can be combined with other agents, such as BTK inhibitors. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
