FDA approves Eli Lilly’s Jaypirca for certain leukemia and lymphoma patients previously treated with BTK inhibitors.
The FDA has granted traditional approval to Eli Lilly’s Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) for adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have previously received a covalent BTK inhibitor.
This expands its use to earlier treatment stages and follows an initial accelerated approval.
The approval is based on the BRUIN-CLL-321 trial, showing a median progression-free survival of 11.2 months versus 8.7 months in the control group, with a hazard ratio of 0.58.
Pirtobrutinib, a non-covalent BTK inhibitor, offers a new option for patients resistant to or intolerant of existing BTK inhibitors.
It is taken orally at 200 mg once daily, with warnings for infections, bleeding, low blood counts, heart rhythm issues, secondary cancers, liver damage, and fetal harm.
