Pirtobrutinib met the primary endpoint of response rate non-inferiority, favoring pirtobrutinib with a nominal P-value for superiority < 0.05 Progression-free survival data was immature, but trending in favor of pirtobrutinib BRUIN CLL-314 is the first ever head-to-head trial versus ibrutinib in CLL to include treatment-naïve patients. This important subpopulation (n=225) had the longest follow-up and a particularly pronounced PFS effect size in favor of pirtobrutinib. The overall safety profile of pirtobru ...
