PG - 1664-1673 LID - 10.1080/10428194.2021.1876863 [doi] AB - The US veteran population has a high proportion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) risk factors. Using the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) population, we conducted a retrospective chart review of 1205 CLL patients who initiated treatment with a novel oral agent. For 1L ibrutinib, 33% (n = 107) discontinued therapy during the study, of which 64% discontinued due to adverse events (AEs). For relapsed/refractory (R/R) ibrutinib, 35% (n = 262) discontinued therapy, of which 63% discontinued due to AEs. For R/R venetoclax, 31% (n = 27) discontinued therapy, of which 41% were due to AEs. For idelalisib, 84% (n = 41) discontinued therapy, of which 54% were due to AEs. This real-world study suggests that AEs play an important role in dose reductions and discontinuations; however, physician inexperience in using these drugs when they were first introduced could be part of what is leading to these negative outcomes.
