The PCYC-1102/1103 study was a phase Ib/II, open-label, non-randomised study of single-agent IMBRUVICA® in firstline (≥65 years old) and R/R (≥1 prior therapies, ≥18 years old) CLL patients.[1]
4 prior therapies for R/R patients
High-risk features included del(17p), del(11q), and/or unmutated IGHV

AEs were monitored from the first dose of IMBRUVICA® until 30 days after the last dose, and grading was according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. All-grade AEs were collected in PCYC-1102.
After the primary analysis, patients who completed ≥6 treatment cycles without disease progression could participate in the PCYC-1103 open-label extension study.[1]
Dosing:
Patients continued IMBRUVICA® at the same dose they received in PCYC-1102.[1]
Primary endpoint:
In PCYC-1103, grade ≥3 AEs, grade ≥2 eye-related AEs, or any grade serious AEs, AEs leading to dose reduction, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, other malignancies, and major haemorrhage were collected.[1]
*FISH cytogenetic subgroups are presented in a hierarchy of CLL chromosomal abnormalities based on Döhner classification. A total of 1 patient receiving firstline IMBRUVICA® and 5 patients receiving IMBRUVICA® for R/R CLL/SLL had missing FISH cytogenetic data.[^1]
†Complex karyotype was performed at a central laboratory and was defined as ≥3 unrelated chromosomal abnormalities by CpG stimulated metaphase cytogenetics.[^1]
