Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pharmacological and genetic disruption of CXCR4 chemokine receptor function in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

TL;DR: Findings corroborate that CXCR4 is an important target to overcome stroma‐mediated drug resistance in B‐ALL and indicate that anti‐leukaemia activity of CX CR4 antagonists is primarily due to CxCR4 inhibition, rather than agonistic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Mcl-1 expression in context to bone marrow stromal microenvironment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: Collectively, stroma-induced apoptosis resistance is mediated through signaling proteins that regulate transcriptional and translational expression and post-translational modification of Mcl-1 in CLL cells in context to bone marrow stromal microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on a Phase 2 Study of Idelalisib in Combination with Rituximab in Treatment-Naïve Patients ≥65 Years with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

TL;DR: The selectivePI3K-delta inhibitor Idelalisib (Zydelig®, IDELA), in combination with rituximab (R), has been previously reported to yield a 97% ORR in treatment naive patients (pts) ≥65 years with CLL or SLL, and this report is an update on that initial cohort of study pts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three newly approved drugs for chronic lymphocytic leukemia: incorporating ibrutinib, idelalisib, and obinutuzumab into clinical practice.

TL;DR: In the relapsed setting, these agents produce durable remissions, and might be preferable to re-treatment with chemoimmunotherapy for many patients, and underscore the advancement in the understanding of the biology of CLL.
