Summary

This is a retrospective observational study aimed at describing the characteristics and outcome of CLL patients included in the NPP in Italy in a period of time ranging from the start of the NPP until November, 30th 2014. A longitudinal survey will be carried out by collecting data of patients who received at least 1 dose of Ibrutinib. All patients will be observed for at least 12 months from the treatment start.

Detailed description

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults. The disease is characterized by the progressive accumulation of phenotypically mature malignant B lymphocytes, primarily in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Over the last 10-15 years several biological prognostic markers have been identified, starting from the immunoglobulin gene mutational analysis to CD38, ZAP70, CD49d expression, and many others. The very recent discovery of several new genes that carry point mutations in CLL, including NOTCH1, SF3B1 and BIRC3, has added more markers that seem to correlate with resistance to treatment and with transformation into Richter syndrome. A large number of chemoimmunotherapy regimens are currently considered for the treatment of CLL patients. NPP program The Named Patient Program (NPP) is a program intended to provide early access to ibrutinib in Italy. This program is specifically for patients who have relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma. Rationale In patients with CLL Ibrutinib, given as single agent has shown marked activity and a good safety profile. Data from patients treated with ibrutinib outside a controlled clinical trial within a National Patient Program (NPP) could give additional information about the clinical use, treatment duration, efficacy, and toxicity of ibrutinib given to CLL patients in a real life context.
