BeOne Medicines Presents Phase 3 Data for CLL in Elderly Patients
BeOne Medicines announced the presentation of a large Phase 3 dataset in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, CLL/SLL, aged 80 and older, showing sustained benefit with Brukinsa after nearly 6.5 years of follow-up, reinforcing its role as the foundational BTK inhibitor. Brukinsa is the only BTK inhibitor to demonstrate superior efficacy vs. ibrutinib in a Phase 3 trial. These data, one of the largest datasets of older patients with treatment-naive CLL, will be presented at the 2026 European Hematology Association, EHA, Congress in Stockholm, Sweden. Key highlights: Sequoia subgroup analysis showed that age did not limit benefit in patients with CLL treated with Brukinsa; 78-month Sequoia data reinforce Brukinsa as the "foundational BTK inhibitor" in CLL; Real-world efficacy and safety data consistently underscore "foundational Brukinsa as the best-in-class BTKi" for TN CLL
