The second-generation BTK* inhibitor zanubrutinib was superior to the standard-of-care ibrutinib in improving progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (R/R CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), according to results of the phase III ALPINE trial presented at ASH 2022.
