ASH 2025 | Nemtabrutinib in R/R follicular lymphoma

In this video, Wojciech Jurczak, MD, PhD, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland, briefly discusses the efficacy and safety of nemtabrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma, which has been investigated in cohort G of the Phase II BELLWAVE-003 trial (NCT04728893). This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.

Transcript

Now, talking about the non-covalent BTK inhibitors, we present a couple of studies with nemtabrutinib. Nemtabrutinib is another non-covalent BTK inhibitor developed slightly slower than pirtobrutinib, but in general very similar. So in the studies, once we presented efficacy in follicular lymphoma, that’s what we anticipated would happen. In follicular lymphoma, we used to have a much better result with PI3K inhibitors, which are eventually abandoned, and for the inhibition of BTK, we need a strong drug, a strong inhibition...

Now, talking about the non-covalent BTK inhibitors, we present a couple of studies with nemtabrutinib. Nemtabrutinib is another non-covalent BTK inhibitor developed slightly slower than pirtobrutinib, but in general very similar. So in the studies, once we presented efficacy in follicular lymphoma, that’s what we anticipated would happen. In follicular lymphoma, we used to have a much better result with PI3K inhibitors, which are eventually abandoned, and for the inhibition of BTK, we need a strong drug, a strong inhibition. And that’s why the first approval was with zanubrutinib and obinutuzumab. Now, both second-generation BTK inhibitors, specifically nemtabrutinib, was tested in this population with reasonable results. Again, the same thing as with Pirtobrutinib, relatively good efficacy and a great tolerance.
