  • CLL Treatment Evolution: Rethinking Monotherapy vs Combination Strategies in the Era of Next-Generation BTK Inhibitors
    Jun 5 2026

    The treatment landscape for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has transformed dramatically over the past decade, creating new opportunities and new questions for clinicians managing this increasingly complex disease. In this episode of the FLASCO OncoPod, FLASCO President Edgardo Santos, MD, FACP, FASCO, sits down with renowned CLL expert Javier Pinilla-Ibarz, MD, PhD, of Moffitt Cancer Center to discuss how advances in targeted therapies are reshaping treatment decisions across the CLL continuum.

    Together, they explore the evolution of CLL care from chemoimmunotherapy to modern treatment approaches centered around BTK inhibitors, BCL2 inhibitors, and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. The conversation examines how molecular and genetic risk factors, including IGHV mutation status, TP53 abnormalities, and cytogenetic findings, influence first-line treatment selection and long-term management strategies.

    Dr. Pinilla-Ibarz shares practical insights into the ongoing debate between fixed-duration combination regimens and continuous therapy approaches, highlighting the benefits, limitations, and patient-specific considerations that guide real-world clinical decision-making. The discussion also covers measurable residual disease (MRD), emerging MRD-guided treatment strategies, management of high-risk disease, sequencing therapies after relapse, and the growing role of next-generation BTK inhibitors.

    Looking ahead, the episode explores promising therapies on the horizon, including novel BTK degraders, next-generation BCL2 inhibitors, cellular therapies, and other innovative approaches that may further improve outcomes for patients living with CLL.

    Whether you are a hematologist, oncologist, advanced practice provider, or healthcare professional interested in the latest developments in blood cancers, this episode offers a comprehensive and clinically relevant update on where CLL treatment stands today and where the field is headed next.
