Interruption of BTK Inhibitor Improves Response to SARS-CoV-2 Booster Vaccination in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This study investigates the effect of booster SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) interruption on antibody response to vaccination. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are immunocompromised, at increased risk of infection, and have historically poor response to immunization. BTKi therapy is a standard treatment for CLL in frontline and salvage settings and further suppresses antibody vaccine responses.
