Abstract

Hairy cell leukemia variant (HCLv) is a provisional disease in the 2016 WHO classification of lymphomas, characterized by unfavorable prognosis and early relapse following conventional purine analog-based regimens. In this study, we report 2 patients with relapsed HCLv treated with ibrutinib. The first patient achieved a partial response following ibrutinib treatment and received the drug for 16 months, without severe adverse events. However, at disease progression venetoclax was not clinically active. The second patient discontinued the drug early due to intolerance. Ibrutinib was active in our patients with HCLv and deserve further investigations. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
