2011 - Long-term Safety with ≥12 Months of Pirtobrutinib in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) B-Cell Malignancies

Introduction:
While Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) can induce sustained remissions, ongoing response requires continuous treatment and thus long-term safety/tolerability is critical for adherence, maintaining dose intensity, and delivering maximum efficacy. Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, non-covalent (reversible) BTKi approved by the FDA in January 2023 for R/R mantle cell lymphoma after 2 prior lines of therapy including a BTKi. Pirtobrutinib has demonstrated promising efficacy with low discontinuation and dose reduction rates in patients (pts) with multiple subtypes of R/R B-cell malignancies. However, the long-term safety and tolerability of pirtobrutinib has not yet been reported. Here we report the clinical safety in pts with long-term (≥12 months) pirtobrutinib treatment from the phase 1/2 BRUIN trial.

Methods:
Pts with R/R B-cell malignancies who received ≥12 months of pirtobrutinib were included. Median time to onset, dose reduction, discontinuation, and cumulative incidence rates were determined for treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) that occurred in ≥20% of pts and select AE of interest associated with BTKi.

Results:
As of 29 July 2022, 773 pts were enrolled, and 326 (42%) pts received treatment for ≥12 months. Among these 326 pts, median time on treatment was 19 months (IQR: 16,25), with 231 (71%) remaining on pirtobrutinib. The most common TEAE (all grade, regardless of attribution) in this long-term 326 pt cohort were fatigue (32%), diarrhea (31%), Covid-19 (29%), contusion (26%), cough (25%), and back pain (21%). TEAE leading to dose reduction or discontinuation occurred in 23 (7%) and 11 (3%) pts, respectively. Four (1%) pts discontinued due to a treatment-related AE, and 1 pt had a fatal treatment-related AE (Covid-19 pneumonia). Select AE of interest for the long-term pts are shown in the Table. Comprehensive safety analyses describing the frequency of TEAE over time will be presented.

Conclusion:
Prolonged pirtobrutinib therapy continues to demonstrate a safety profile amenable to long-term administration at the recommended dose without evidence of new or worsening toxicity signals. The safety and tolerability observed in pts on therapy for ≥12 months was similar to previously published safety analyses on all pts enrolled regardless of follow-up.
