简介
Background: Increased absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) characterizes chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and it is also observed in the first phase of treatment with Ibrutinib (IBR), the “first-in-class” Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), independently of previous lines of treatment. The IBR induced lymphocytosis, which is due to a redistribution of lymphocytes from the neoplastic nodal compartment into the peripheral blood, is observed in 57% of patients treated in first line, and it is higher in IgHV mutated CLL. Prolonged lymphocytosis likely represents the persistence of a quiescent clone. This phenomenon is transient in most patients, resolving within 8 months, but can rarely persist over 12 months, without impact on survival. Despite lymphocytosis in IBR has been widely investigated, little is known about the presence and duration of lymphocytosis in patients treated with Acalabrutinib (Acala).
