JADPRO / Education / FDA Focus / Jaypirca pirtobrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma

Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma

December 3, 2025

Initial US Approval:

2013

Key Clinical Studies:

BRUIN-CLL-321 (NCT 04666038)

Drug Class/Description:

Kinase inhibitor

Indications and Usage:

JAYPIRCA® is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of: 

  • Adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after at least two lines of systemic therapy, including a BTK inhibitor.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

  • Adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who have previously been treated with a covalent BTK inhibitor.

Dosage and Administration:

  • Recommended dosage: 200 mg orally once daily; swallow whole with water, with or without food. Do not cut, crush, or chew tablets.
  • Manage toxicity using treatment interruption, dosage reduction, or discontinuation.
  • Reduce dose in patients with severe renal impairment. 

Dosage Forms and Strengths:

Tablets: 50 mg, 100 mg.

Contraindications:

None.

Warnings and Precautions:

  • Infections: Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection, evaluate promptly, and treat.
  • Hemorrhage: Monitor for bleeding and manage appropriately. 
  • Cytopenias: Monitor complete blood counts during treatment.
  • Cardiac Arrythmias: Monitor for symptoms of arrhythmias and manage appropriately.
  • Second Primary Malignancies: Other malignancies have developed, including skin cancers and other carcinomas. Monitor and advise patients to use sun protection.
  • Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury: Monitor hepatic function throughout treatment. 
  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception.

Adverse Reactions:

Most common adverse reactions (≥ 30%), including laboratory abnormalities, are fatigue, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, hemoglobin decreased, leukocytes decreased, lymphocyte count decreased and calcium decreased. 

Drug Interactions:

  • Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce the JAYPIRCA dose.
  • Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use of moderate CYP3A inducers is unavoidable, increase the JAYPIRCA dose.
  • Sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP Substrates: For substrates where minimal concentration changes may increase the risk of adverse reactions, follow recommendations for co-administration with CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP inhibitors provided in their approved product labeling. 

Use in Specific Populations:

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed.
