Inhibition of Btk by Btk-specific concentrations of ibrutinib and acalabrutinib delays but does not block platelet aggregation mediated by glycoprotein VI.

ABSTRACT: Ibrutinib and acalabrutinib are irreversible inhibitors of Bruton tyrosine kinase used in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. They bind irreversibly to cysteine 481 of Bruton tyrosine kinase, blocking autophosphorylation on tyrosine 223 and phosphorylation of downstream substrates including phospholipase C-?2. In the present study, we demonstrate that concentrations of ibrutinib and acalabrutinib that block Bruton tyrosine kinase activity, as shown by loss of phosphorylation at tyrosine 223 and phospholipase C-?2, delay but do not block aggregation in response to a maximally-effective concentration of collagen-related peptide or collagen. In contrast, 10- to 20-fold higher concentrations of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib block platelet aggregation in response to glycoprotein VI agonists. Ex vivo studies on patients treated with ibrutinib, but not acalabrutinib, showed a reduction of platelet aggregation in response to collagen-related peptide indicating that the clinical dose of ibrutinib but not acalabrutinib is supramaximal for Bruton tyrosine kinase blockade. Unexpectedly, low concentrations of ibrutinib inhibited aggregation in response to collagen-related peptide in patients deficient in Bruton tyrosine kinase. The increased bleeding seen with ibrutinib over acalabrutinib is due to off-target actions of ibrutinib that occur because of unfavorable pharmacodynamics.

Project description:The BTK inhibitors ibrutinib and acalabrutinib are FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of B cell malignances. Both drugs have demonstrated clinical efficacy and safety profiles superior to chemoimmunotherapy regimens in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Mounting preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that both ibrutinib and acalabrutinib are versatile and have direct effects on many immune cell subsets as well as other cell types beyond B cells. The versatility and immunomodulatory effects of both drugs have been exploited to expand their therapeutic potential in a wide variety of human diseases. Over 470 clinical trials are currently registered at ClinicalTrials.gov to test the efficacy of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib not only in almost every type of B cell malignancies, but also in hematological malignancies of myeloid cells and T cells, solid tumors, chronic graft versus host disease (cGHVD), autoimmune diseases, allergy and COVID-19 (http:www.clinicaltrials.gov). In this review, we present brief discussions of the clinical trials and relevant key preclinical evidence of ibrutinib and acalabrutinib as monotherapies or as part of combination therapies for the treatment of human diseases beyond B cell malignancies. Adding to the proven efficacy of ibrutinib for cGVHD, preliminary results of clinical trials have shown promising efficacy of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for certain T cell malignancies, allergies and severe COVID-19. However, both BTK inhibitors have no or limited efficacy for refractory or recurrent solid tumors. These clinical data together with additional pending results from ongoing trials will provide valuable information to guide the design and improvement of future trials, including optimization of combination regimens and dosing sequences as well as better patient stratification and more efficient delivery strategies. Such information will further advance the precise implementation of BTK inhibitors into the clinical toolbox for the treatment of different human diseases.
