Ibrutinib témoingnage d'un utilisateur

"I have been on Ibrutinib since feb 2013... I have been in clinical remission for 8 months + .
I was in a clinical study for the first 2 years and at the end of that time I was asked to sign up for another study that lasts another 2 years...... This time I will only see the MD every 6 months with a CT Scan every year.but I will have to take 3 pills a day ( Compliments of the study)...I signed up for the additional 2 years but after 6 months of it with all my other problems (apnea, CAD, hypothyroidism , Hypertension , Pulmonary hypertension , knees that need to be replaced but will never be .) I am obviously having second thoughts.
Is Ibrutinib a drug that you are on for life?? The fact that I am getting it for free is a strong factor to continue on the trial , but the fatigue and strange other things that are popping up are telling me to drop out of the trial ...I feel that it is making what little life I have left is not the quality of life that I want and Ibrutinib may be causing some of these problems...Today I am going to ask for a 2 month holiday from the study see if the fatigue and other problems go away.
I need advice here as to what the drug is designed to do once in remission.. And what would you do?"

Cirmtuzumab anticorp monoclonal ROR1 Récepteur Tyrosine Kinase

Cirmtuzumab

Essai clinique phase 1 (tout début) du Cirmtuzumab

On ne sait pas ce qui se passe chez l'humain le but est de savoir si elle est nocive et comment elle est tolérée

Cirmtuzumab UC-961 anti corps monoclonal qui cible la protéine ROR1 a la surface des cellules de la LLC.

ROR1 est ne un récepteur tyrosine kinase (RTK) récemment identifié pour être surexprimé au niveau des gènes et des protéines dans la leucémie lymphocytaire chronique (CLL). 

Tous les patients atteints de LLC (n = 20) ont exprimé ROR1 sur la surface des cellules leucémiques. 

Une fréquence significativement plus élevée de l'expression ROR1 a été constaté chez les patients avec une maladie progressive par rapport à la non-progressive, et dans celles avec des gènes non mutés IgVH contre mutés.

The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) ibrutinib is a new targeted therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Ibrutinib is given orally on a continuous schedule and induces durable remissions in the majority of CLL patients. However, a small proportion of patients initially responds to the BTKi and then develops resistance. Estimating the frequency, timing, and individ- ual risk of developing resistance to ibrutinib, therefore, would be valuable for long-term management of patients. Computational evolutionary models, based on measured kinetic parameters of patients, allow us to approach these questions and to develop a roadmap for personalized prognosis and treatment management.

Our kinetic models predict that BTKi-resistant mutants exist before initiation of ibrutinib therapy, although they only comprise a mi- nority of the overall tumor burden. Furthermore, we can estimate the time required for resistant cells to grow to detectable levels. We predict that this can be highly variable, depending mostly on growth and death rates of the individual CLL cell clone. For a specific patient, this time can be predicted with a high degree of certainty. Our model can thus be used to predict for how long ibrutinib can suppress the disease in individual patients. Furthermore, the model can suggest whether prior debulking of the tumor with chemo-immunotherapy can prolong progression-free survival under ibrutinib.

Finally, by applying the models to data that document progression during ibrutinib therapy, we estimated that resistant mutants might have a small (<2%) mean fitness advantage in the absence of treatment, compared with sensitive cells.

Introduction

Up until now, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) has been considered incurable except with an allogeneic stem cell transplant.   In the last 10 years, evidence has demonstrated that chemo-immuotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab, (FCR) has significantly improved CR rates, overall survival (OS), and progression free survival ¹.  Long term follow up data for FCR at MDACC demonstrated that a significant proportion of patients (pts.) were free at 8 years² raising the question of whether pts. are potentially cured.

Definition of cure in a chronic disease such as CLL has not been addressed.  To investigate this possibility we evaluated the outcome characteristics of 222 of the 300 patients (who commenced FCR more than 10 years ago)  in our previously reported study of initial therapy with FCR in CLL². 

Seventy eight (35%) pts were free of relapse and 127 (58%) were alive at 10 years (Fig. 1). Thirty three patients died in CR/PR of infection ( 5), second malignancies (8), Richter’s transformation (8 ). MDS (9), and other causes (3).   One hundred and sixty three pts. (73%) achieved CR, 22 pts. (10%) a nodular PR (nPR), 27 pts. (12%) a PR, and 10 (5%) failed treatment.  The 10 year PFS correlates strongly with response, CR (41%), nPR+PR (15%) (Fig. 2).  None of these patients were transplanted in remission.

FISH analysis was not available at the time of this study.  Conventional karyotyping demonstrated +12 (24 pts), del 11q (15), del 17p (4), other abnormalities (15), diploid (105), and in 59 patients the test was not done or had no metaphases.  The worst outcomes were del 17p and del 11q each significantly inferior to diploid (+12) patients had the best time-to-treatment failure (TTF) with P<.09 compared to diploid.

The 10-year TTF was significantly higher for Rai <3 versus 3 – 4 (P=.02), serum beta-2-microglobulin (β2M) value of ≤ 4 mg/L (p<.001), mutation status of IgVh (P<.001) and number of courses of FCR received. (Table 1)  The causes for receiving <6 courses of FCR were persistent cytopenia (15), infections (6), resistance (5), Richter’s transformation and other malignancies (9), autoimmune hemolysis (5), and other causes and lost to follow-up (16).

Rai Stage	<3 / 3-4	145/77	78 / 50	.04	38/22	.02	64/50	<.01

# Courses	<6 / 6	57/165	51 / 81	<.001	16/38	.002	70/31	<.001

Of the 77 patients who are still in remission at 10 years, two have relapsed and one developed Richter’s transformation.  Four of 21 patients checked had no residual disease in their blood at 10 years by 4-parameter flow cytometry.  All other 10 yr. TTF patients are being contacted to provide blood for 4-parameter flow residual disease.

Conclusion

The present data suggest that one-third of patients treated with chemoimmunotherapy are potentially cured of CLL.  The characteristics most strongly associated with 10 yr. TTF were Rai stage, serum β2M level, mutation status, and tolerance of chemotherapy.  Second malignancies and transformations are emerging as significantly impairing the likelihood of cure.
