Abstract
This study used real-world data from three separate United States (US) databases to evaluate dosing patterns and time to next treatment (TTNT) following the first-incident adverse event (AE) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) treated with first-line ibrutinib with and without dose reduction (DR). Median TTNT or death in patients with and without a DR following an AE in each database was as follows: Optum Clinformatics Data Mart (CDM): 59.5 and 30.6 months; ConcertAI: 27.1 and 18.0 months; and Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS): 49.8 and 22.0 months, respectively. Median TTNT or death in patients with cardiac AEs, with and without a DR, was: Optum CDM: 44.4 and 22.9 months; ConcertAI: 29.9 and 18.3 months; and Medicare FFS: 49.6 and 14.0 months, respectively. Ibrutinib DR was associated with fewer outpatient visits and lower CLL/SLL-related medical costs. These findings suggest that utilizing ibrutinib DR may effectively manage tolerability without compromising clinical efficacy.
