So patients with CLL these days have many therapy options but when you have a relapsed refractory CLL one of the standard options which is FDA-approved now is a non-covalent BTK inhibitor called pirtobrutinib. AS1763 is a new novel non-covalent BTK inhibitor which at least in the preclinical models have shown that it can work against some of the pirtobrutinib resistance mutations which have been described in patients...
So patients with CLL these days have many therapy options but when you have a relapsed refractory CLL one of the standard options which is FDA-approved now is a non-covalent BTK inhibitor called pirtobrutinib. AS1763 is a new novel non-covalent BTK inhibitor which at least in the preclinical models have shown that it can work against some of the pirtobrutinib resistance mutations which have been described in patients. So this is a Phase I dose escalation study conducted in the United States where we are treating patients not just with CLL but also other B-cell malignancies including mantle cell lymphoma and others. And this is currently an ongoing Phase I study where now we are approaching the recommended Phase II dose and then the plan is to expand the study into CLL and mantle cell lymphoma and eventually we are also going to enroll patients who are pirtobrutinib resistant to see if we see clinical activity among those patients who are pirtobrutinib resistant. So as I said, this is an ongoing study and hopefully at the next year’s ASH we’ll present updated data with a larger cohort of patients.
