Detailed safety profile of acalabrutinib vs ibrutinib in CLL, inflammation in trauma-induced coagulopathy, abatacept exposure and acute GVHD risk

In this week’s episode, we’ll review a detailed safety profile of acalabrutinib versus ibrutinib in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia, discuss a report that leukocyte inflammation contributes to trauma-induced coagulopathy by oxidation and degradation of fibrinogen, and finally, discuss a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis that shows higher abatacept exposure decreases occurrence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from an unrelated donor.
