Part A: Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
First dose date up to last dose (maximum: 7 days) plus 30 days

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as 1 or both of the following: Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug and/or Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.

Frequently asked questions about Tirabrutinib

What is tirabrutinib?

Tirabrutinib is an investigational small molecule BTK inhibitor being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (ticker GILD). It is being studied in oncology indications including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non Hodgkin lymphoma, and relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies, as well as in rheumatoid arthritis. It remains in clinical development and is not described as approved.

What is tirabrutinib used for?

Tirabrutinib is being studied for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non Hodgkin lymphoma, relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies, and rheumatoid arthritis. These are investigational uses in clinical trials rather than approved indications. Development is led by Gilead Sciences, Inc. under ticker GILD.

What does tirabrutinib target?

Tirabrutinib targets Bruton tyrosine kinase, or BTK, and acts as a BTK inhibitor. BTK is an enzyme involved in B-cell receptor signaling, which is why the compound is being studied in B-cell cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and in rheumatoid arthritis.

Who makes tirabrutinib?

Tirabrutinib is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades under the ticker GILD. The company is the sponsor behind the clinical program evaluating the BTK inhibitor across B-cell malignancies and rheumatoid arthritis.

What phase is tirabrutinib in?

Tirabrutinib is in Phase 2 clinical development. The program includes Phase 2 studies in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Phase 1 studies in relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies and rheumatoid arthritis. It is investigational and is not described as FDA approved.

What clinical trials is tirabrutinib in?

Tirabrutinib has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT02983617 and NCT02968563 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, NCT02626026 in healthy volunteers and rheumatoid arthritis, and NCT02457559 in relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. These studies were conducted in Germany, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
