Efficacy in the margins of NHL with ibrutinib

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Noy et al report on the efficacy of single-agent ibrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). They demonstrate an overall response rate of 48% and a median progression-free survival of 14 months, establishing the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib as a therapeutic option for this population.1
