1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Although covalent and non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have extended clinical benefit to relapsed/refractory (R/R) and BTKi-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), there remains an unmet need for additional B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway targeted therapies for highly refractory disease. This summary highlighted latest updates from the American Society of Hematology 2025 Annual Meeting on emerging BTK-directed agents in CLL/SLL, including next-generation non-covalent BTKi, dual-kinase inhibitors, and BTK degraders. Phase 1 studies of docirbrutinib and rocbrutinib demonstrated target engagement across wild-type and resistance-associated BTK mutations with encouraging safety profiles and preliminary efficacy signals in heavily pretreated populations. Birletinib, a dual LYN/BTK inhibitor, showed a high objective response rate in patients with prior exposure to BTKi, BCL-2 inhibitors, and BTK degraders. BTK degraders, including bexobrutideg and BGB-16673, demonstrated rapid and deep responses, activity in high-risk molecular subgroups, and manageable toxicity profiles, with recommended phase 2 doses established. Collectively, these latest updates support continued clinical development of novel agents to address resistance and disease progression in R/R CLL/SLL.
