The Inflation Reduction Act and Cost Considerations for BTK Inhibitors
Panelists discuss how the inclusion of ibrutinib on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) negotiated drug price list could make it a more economically attractive first-line option, potentially influencing the sequencing of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) treatment while considering other financial factors like insurance coverage, copays, and total out-of-pocket costs that impact patient access and treatment decisions.

EP: 3.Incorporating Emerging BTK Therapies Into the CLL Treatment Landscape
EP: 4.Sequencing Considerations in Relapsed/Refractory CLL
EP: 5.Selecting the Optimal BTK Inhibitor in Relapsed/Refractory CLL
EP: 6.Impact of Safety Profiles on BTK Inhibitor Selection in R/R CLL
EP: 7.The Inflation Reduction Act and Cost Considerations for BTK Inhibitors
EP: 8.Switching Between BTK Inhibitors in CLL
Video content above is prompted by the following:
- With ibrutinib on the negotiated drug price list under the IRA, how might cost considerations influence first-line BTK inhibitor selection and subsequently shape second-line and beyond treatment choices in R/R CLL?
- Beyond the IRA, what role do broader economic factors, such as insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs, play in treatment selection for patients with R/R CLL requiring BTK inhibitors?
How FcRn Blockade Targets Myasthenia Gravis Autoantibodies
January 29th 2025In part 2 of our interview with Katie Abouzahr, MD, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, we discuss the challenge inherent in treating adolescents who have the myasthenia gravis and how nipocalimab works via FcRn blockade to reduce the circulating autoantibodies that drive myasthenia gravis.
