Where Are We with 17p Deleted CLL? Three very active classes of drugs Start with ibrutinib, follow with venetoclax or PI3K Duration of ibrutinib response is still shorter than without del 17p : as little as 28 mos Efficacy of sequencing single agents is unknown To achieve durable responses, combinations are certainly needed, but no data yet

Who Should Have SCT in the Era of BCR Inhibitors? del 17p patients, potentially in first remission (if post ibrutinib) but definitely in any later remission (especially if you are running out of known active agents or cannot access them) Progressors on ibrutinib?? Progressors on idelalisib vs venetoclax: Less clear, may have prolonged remission with ibrutinib
Issues with Considering SCT after Novel Agents Remissions are not deep, often insufficient to be optimal for SCT Time to recurrence after stopping the drug can be short Waiting for relapse may be too late due to fulminant relapse With current single agents, venetoclax is by far best for prepping a patient for transplant How to avoid resistance and/or better prepare for SCT? Combination therapy : potential for deeper remissions (ideally MRD negative) that may allow breaks, which will reduce selective pressure for resistance, or allow for SCT for consolidation
