Excerpt:BeiGene, Ltd....today announced that its BTK inhibitor BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib) has received approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in two indications – the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) /small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have received at least one prior therapy, and the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.
Excerpt:BRUKINSA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with:...Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Title:
Zanubrutinib or Ibrutinib in Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Excerpt:In patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, progression-free survival was significantly longer among patients who received zanubrutinib than among those who received ibrutinib, and zanubrutinib was associated with fewer cardiac adverse events.

Title:
Zanubrutinib versus bendamustine and rituximab in untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SEQUOIA): a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial
Excerpt:We compared zanubrutinib with bendamustine–rituximab to determine its effectiveness as frontline therapy in patients with CLL or SLL....Progression-free survival was significantly improved in group A versus group B (HR 0·42 [95% CI 0·28 to 0·63]; two-sided p<0·0001)....Zanubrutinib significantly improved progression-free survival versus bendamustine–rituximab, with an acceptable safety profile consistent with previous studies.
