BTK inhibitor
Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor
- Blocks B-cell receptor signaling in CLL and lymphoma
- Bleeding and atrial fibrillation risk
Drugs with this mechanism (5)
- Acalabrutinib — Second-generation covalent BTK inhibitor with less atrial fibrillation than ibrutinib.
- Ibrutinib — BTK inhibitor for B-cell cancers; bleeding and atrial fibrillation.
- Pirtobrutinib — Noncovalent BTK inhibitor that remains active after many covalent BTK inhibitors fail.
- Remibrutinib — Oral BTK inhibitor for antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria.
- Zanubrutinib — More selective covalent BTK inhibitor for CLL, mantle cell lymphoma, and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
