Zanubrutinib FDA-approved for WM

Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia

Summary

In August 2021, zanubrutinib received FDA approval for WM based on the ASPEN trial, making it the second BTK inhibitor approved for the disease. Zanubrutinib's more selective BTK inhibition profile results in fewer off-target effects including significantly lower rates of atrial fibrillation compared to ibrutinib, establishing it as a better-tolerated alternative.
