touchPANEL DISCUSSION Have the next generation of BTK inhibitors come of age for the treatment of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia?
Watch a panel of internationally renowned Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia experts discuss the clinical utility of second-generation Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and their potential impact on the current treatment paradigm.
Introduction
Dr Roger Owen chairs a discussion with Prof. Veronique Leblond and Prof. Christian Buske contextualizing key attributes of second-generation BTK inhibitors, and how emerging clinical data on their use may improve outcomes and experiences for patients with WM.
1/4 Next ChapterWhat are the failings of first-generation BTK inhibitors?
What are the data supporting the current use of first-generation BTK inhibitors for the treatment of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, and what are the remaining unmet needs?
2/4 Next ChapterNew generation, new hope?
How will the second generation of BTK inhibitors help address the current unmet needs?
3/4 Next ChapterSafety's generation gap
How can we best manage the adverse events associated with first-generation BTK inhibitors, and how does their safety and tolerability profile compare with second-generation inhibitors?
