PG - 921-926 AB - In Japan, ibrutinib has been approved as both a front-line and later-line treatment for chronic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma(CLL/SLL). However, little is known about the actual outcomes and adverse events(AEs)associated with the use of ibrutinib in Japanese patients. OBJECTIVE: The outcomes and AEs of patients treated with ibrutinib in a real-world setting were investigated. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of all patients with CLL/SLL who were treated with ibrutinib at a single institution was conducted. RESULT: In total, 10 patients, including 5 treatment-naive patients(50%), were enrolled. The median follow-up period was 9.8 months(range, 0.2-21.6 months), and the estimated overall response rate (ORR: complete remission plus partial remission)was 60%. The median overall survival and progression-free survival outcomes were not reached. During the follow-up period, 4 patients(40%)had at least one AE and 1 patient(10%)had at least one grade>/=3 AE. Ibrutinib was discontinued in 4 patients(40%)because of AEs in 2 patients(20%), the progression of CLL in 1 patient(10%), and financial reasons in 1 patient(10%). Richter's transformation did not occur in any of the cases. CONCLUSION: The ORR was lower(60%)than that observed in clinical trials. The frequency and severity of AEs were both relatively low, although the discontinuation rate was high(40%). Patient education and medication adherence were considered important.
