Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2017 update on diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment

TL;DR: A large number of patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia have a history of atypical clinical course, suggesting that the disease typically occurs in elderly patients and has a highly variable clinical course.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2015 Update on diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment.

TL;DR: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the commonest leukemia in western countries and typically occurs in elderly patients and has a highly variable clinical course.

Targeting B cell receptor signalling in cancer: preclinical and clinical advances

TL;DR: B cells and B CR-related kinases also play a role in the microenvironment of solid tumours, such as squamous cell carcinoma and pancreatic cancer, and therefore targeting B cells or BCR- related kinases may have anticancer activity beyond B cell malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The molecular pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent insights into the understanding of CLL biology, with emphasis on the role of genetic lesions in the initiation and clinical progression of Cll.

An Oral Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk) Inhibitor for Rheumatoid Arthritis

TL;DR: R788, an oral inhibitor of Syk, was significantly superior to placebo at month 6 and reduced disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis; adverse events included diarrhea, hypertension, and neutropenia.

The B-cell receptor signaling pathway as a therapeutic target in CLL

TL;DR: A summary of BCR signaling, tools for studying this pathway relevant to drug development in CLL, and early progress made with therapeutics targeting BCR-related kinases are provided.

Targeting pathological B cell receptor signalling in lymphoid malignancies

TL;DR: This work has shown that a host of therapeutic agents targeting effectors of the BCR signalling pathway are now in clinical trials and have shown initial success against multiple forms of lymphoma.

Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis With a Syk Kinase Inhibitor A Twelve-Week, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

TL;DR: It is indicated that an inhibitor of Syk kinase produces significant clinical benefits at 12 weeks in a population of patients with active RA receiving methotrexate therapy, suggesting Syk Kinase may be an important new therapeutic target in RA and related autoimmune conditions.
