Overview

Trade Name(s):
Brukinsa
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally available inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, BGB-3111 selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of BTK and prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. This prevents both B-cell activation and BTK-mediated activation of downstream survival pathways. This leads to an inhibition of the growth of malignant B-cells that overexpress BTK. BTK, a member of the TEC family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, is overexpressed in B-cell malignancies; it plays an important role in the development, activation, signaling, proliferation and survival of B-lymphocytes.

Zanubrutinib has been investigated in 13 clinical trials, of which 11 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating zanubrutinib, 3 are phase 1 (2 open), 2 are phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), 5 are phase 2 (5 open), and 3 are phase 3 (3 open).

MS4A1 Expression, TP53 Loss, and TP53 Mutation are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for zanubrutinib clinical trials.

Mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and small lymphocytic lymphoma are the most common diseases being investigated in zanubrutinib clinical trials [2].
