Phase 2RecruitingJennifer WoyachNCT07685717Data as of Jul 2026

Treatment: PirtobrutinibThis phase II trial studies how well pirtobrutinib works in treating elderly patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib work by blocking the action of the BTK protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. These are very effective, tolerable, and commonly used to treat people with CLL, but they may lead to drug resistance over time. Pirtobrutinib, also a BTK inhibitor, may work better in treating elderly patients with CLL.

Lab requirements

Blood counts

ANC ≥ 0.75 x 10^9 (on or within 7 days of C1D1 before treatment); patient may enroll below threshold if there is documented bone marrow involvement of CLL considered to impair hematopoiesis. Platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9 not requiring transfusion support (on or within 7 days of C1D1 before treatment); patient may enroll below threshold if there is documented bone marrow involvement of CLL considered to impair hematopoiesis. Hemoglobin ≥ 6 mg/dL not requiring transfusion support or growth factors (on or within 7 days of C1D1 before treatment); patient may enroll below threshold if there is documented bone marrow involvement of CLL considered to impair hematopoiesis. If patients require transfusion support due to bone marrow involvement of CLL, they must be responsive to transfusion support.

Kidney function

Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/minute using Cockcroft-Gault formula

Liver function

AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN or ≤ 3 x ULN with documented liver involvement and/or Gilbert's syndrome

Cardiac function

aPTT/PTT and PT/INR not greater than 2.0 × ULN; LVEF > 40% in prior 12 months; QTcF ≤ 470 msec

AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN or ≤ 3 x ULN with documented liver involvement and/or Gilbert's syndrome; Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/minute using Cockcroft-Gault formula; aPTT/PTT and PT/INR not greater than 2.0 × ULN; ANC ≥ 0.75 x 10^9; Platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9; Hemoglobin ≥ 6 mg/dL; LVEF > 40% in prior 12 months; QTcF ≤ 470 msec
