Nilanjan Ghosh, MD, PhD, Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, NC, presents results from a real-world analysis using data from the InformCLL registry (NCT02582879) that aimed to compare outcomes after first-line ibrutinib versus chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Following propensity score matching, ibrutinib was associated with a longer time to next treatment (TTNT), with sustained benefit after four years of follow-up. In addition, ibrutinib was associated with a decreased rate of serious adverse events and treatment discontinuation. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
