About BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib)
BRUKINSA is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) designed to deliver complete and sustained inhibition of the BTK protein by optimizing bioavailability, half-life, and selectivity. With differentiated pharmacokinetics compared with other approved BTK inhibitors, BRUKINSA has been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of malignant B cells within a number of disease-relevant tissues.
BRUKINSA has the broadest label globally of any BTK inhibitor and is the only BTK inhibitor to provide the flexibility of once or twice daily dosing. Additionally, BRUKINSA is the only BTK inhibitor to demonstrate PFS superiority to a first-generation BTK inhibitor in a Phase 3 study.
The global BRUKINSA clinical development program includes approximately 7,100 patients enrolled in 30 countries and regions across more than 35 trials. BRUKINSA is approved for at least one indication in more than 75 markets, and more than 200,000 patients have been treated globally.
