Overview

Generic Name(s):
ibrutinib
Trade Name(s):
Imbruvica
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, ibrutinib binds to and irreversibly inhibits BTK activity, thereby preventing both B-cell activation and B-cell-mediated signaling. This leads to an inhibition of the growth of malignant B cells that overexpress BTK. BTK, a member of the src-related BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, is required for B cell receptor signaling, plays a key role in B-cell maturation, and is overexpressed in a number of B-cell malignancies. The expression of BTK in tumor cells is also associated with increased proliferation and survival.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Ibrutinib has been investigated in 121 clinical trials, of which 106 are open and 15 are closed. Of the trials investigating ibrutinib, 2 are early phase 1 (2 open), 29 are phase 1 (27 open), 28 are phase 1/phase 2 (23 open), 48 are phase 2 (41 open), 1 is phase 2/phase 3 (1 open), 12 are phase 3 (11 open), and 1 is phase 4 (1 open).

MS4A1 Expression, CCND1 Expression, and CD19 Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for ibrutinib clinical trials.

Mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are the most common diseases being investigated in ibrutinib clinical trials [2].
