Introduction Idela Monotherapy Idela in Combination with: Rituximab Frontline 2 nd IA Phase III Relapsed Refractory (R/R) Ofatumumab R/R Bendamustine and Rituximab R/R Side Effect Profile Conclusions Overview
Regimens for CLL can have substantial toxicity and generally become less effective with recurrent treatment Hallek, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program 2009
PI3K Delta Inhibition in B Cell Malignancies PI3K delta critical for activation, proliferation and survival of B lymphocytes Plays a critical role in homing and retention of B cells in lymphoid tissues Is hyperactive in many B cell malignancies and drives proliferation, survival and trafficking to lymphoid tissue Idelalisib Is a targeted, highly selective, oral inhibitor of PI3K delta Inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in many B cell malignancies Inhibits homing and retention of malignant B cells in lymphoid tissues reducing B cell survival
