Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common leukemia in the Western world. A minority of patients with CLL present with aberrations of the TP53 gene (mutations and/or 17p deletion), which represents a significant negative prognostic indicator. In the relapsed/refractory setting, TP53 aberrations become more common, given that prior chemoimmunotherapy can select for small, previously undetectable TP53 clones. This chapter discusses the epidemiology of TP53-aberrant CLL and then focuses on treatment paradigms for patients with this disease. Careful attention will be paid to novel therapeutics, including the small-molecule inhibitors, ibrutinib, idelalisib, and venetoclax.
