Loxo Oncology at Lilly Announces Publication of Pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) Phase 1/2 Data in The Lancet

The Pharma Data

Currently available BTK inhibitors irreversibly inhibit BTK and the long-term efficacy of these therapies can be limited by acquired resistance, most commonly through BTK C481 mutations. In rapidly growing tumors with inherently high rates of BTK turnover, resistance to covalent BTK therapies may be the result of incomplete target inhibition.
