Haematological Malignancies Watch Time: 38 mins

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.
