Mutation in Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) A428D Confers Resistance To BTK-Degrader Therapy In Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Drugs that target BTK for proteasomal degradation, so-call BTK degraders, are presumed able to mitigate the risk of drug resistance due to BTK mutations. In Leukemia 38:1818 (2024), Kipps and colleagues describe a patient who developed resistance to the BTK-degrader BGB-16673 via a mutation in BTK.
