Lilly's Jaypirca (Pirtobrutinib) Met Its Primary Endpoint in First-of-Its-Kind, Head-to-Head Phase 3 Study versus Imbruvica (Ibrutinib)
Pirtobrutinib matched ibrutinib’s overall response rate with a 76% lower risk of progression or death in frontline patients and fewer cardiovascular side effects, researchers said.
- The Phase 3 BRUIN CLL-314 study announced that pirtobrutinib was statistically non-inferior to ibrutinib for IRC-assessed ORR, with results presented at ASH and published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
- Non-Covalent BTK inhibitors were developed to overcome resistance to covalent BTK inhibitors, and the BRUIN CLL-314 trial uniquely enrolled treatment-naive patients alongside relapsed/refractory patients.
- Interim PFS data show a trend favoring pirtobrutinib, including a 76% reduction in progression or death risk in the treatment-naive subgroup , with a planned formal analysis.
- Although overall treatment-emergent adverse event rates and AE-related discontinuations were similar, patients on pirtobrutinib had fewer AE-related dose reductions and lower atrial fibrillation/flutter and hypertension rates.
- Lilly will present BRUIN CLL-313 results on Dec. 9, and a formal PFS superiority analysis is planned; Dr. Jennifer Woyach said pirtobrutinib may be preferred over covalent BTK inhibitors in some patients.

Evidence grows for pirtobrutinib as a safer and effective alternative for CLL and SLL
Pirtobrutinib, a non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, met the primary endpoint for non-inferiority in terms of overall response rate in the first head-to-head comparison with ibrutinib, a covalent BTK inhibitor.
Lilly's Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) met its primary endpoint in first-of-its-kind, head-to-head Phase 3 study versus Imbruvica (ibrutinib)
In addition to meeting the primary endpoint of non-inferiority for overall response rate (ORR) in the BRUIN CLL-314 study, pirtobrutinib achieved a numerically higher ORR of 87.0% compared to 78.5% for ibrutinib in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population
