Acalabrutinib Real World Italian obSErvational Study -ARISE

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Summary

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in the adults in the Western world, with an annual incidence of approximately 5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Italy. Acalabrutinib (CalquenceTM), a selective second-generation Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca, has been assessed for the treatment of CLL in three phase III clinical trials, ELEVATE-TN (treatment-naïve CLL), ASCEND and ELEVATE R/R (relapsed and refractory CLL). These pivotal randomized clinical trials established the efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib in patients with CLL and based on these data CalquenceTM received EMA approval in November 2020 for the treatment of CLL in adult patients and received AIFA (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco) reimbursement as monotherapy in December 2021. However, further data are still required to evaluate the use of acalabrutinib in the real-life conditions of post-marketing authorization. The primary aim of ARISE study is to evaluate the time to treatment discontinuation and reasons for discontinuation for acalabrutinib in a real world setting of patients with CLL. This study will provide the first real-world data on the use of acalabrutinib in the treatment of CLL in Italy.
