Popis: Ibrutinib is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who are progressing on at least 1 previous anti-CD20–based therapy. This approval was based on the results of a multicenter phase 2 study of ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory MZL (n = 60) that showed an overall response rate of 48% and a median progression-free survival of 14.2 months.1 Although mechanisms of acquired resistance to ibrutinib have been described in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL),2-6 none have been reported for MZL. Because more patients with relapsed/refractory MZL are receiving treatment with ibrutinib, it is important to explore the possible mechanisms of ibrutinib resistance and understand the outcomes for patients who progress on ibrutinib. Here, we present a case of acquired ibrutinib resistance in a patient with relapsed/refractory MZL who was treated with ibrutinib.
