Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a complex, indolent blood cancer in which immature lymphocytes are found mostly in the blood and bone marrow. It is the most common type of leukemia in adults, affecting an estimated 226,432 people in the United States as of 2022. The entry of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) into the treatment landscape caused a shift to more targeted oral therapy. The cost of treatment and medically managing CLL patients within the US healthcare system is of particular interest for healthcare decision makers. The objective of this webinar is to explore the results of a cost-effectiveness analyses of covalent BTKis in first-line (1L) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) settings using data from clinical trials and the US Medicare perspective.
