Resistance Mechanisms for the Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Ibrutinib
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib is an irreversible inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and is effective in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Resistance to irreversible kinase inhibitors and resistance associated with BTK inhibition have not been characterized. Although only a small proportion of patients have had a relapse during ibrutinib therapy, an understanding of resistance mechanisms is important. We evaluated patients with relapsed disease to identify mutations that may mediate ibrutinib resistance. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing at baseline and the time of relapse on samples from six patients with acquired resistance to ibrutinib therapy. We then performed functional analysis of identified mutations. In addition, we performed Ion Torrent sequencing for identified resistance mutations on samples from nine patients with prolonged lymphocytosis. RESULTS: We identified a cysteine-to-serine mutation in BTK at the binding site of ibrutinib in five patients and identified three distinct mutations in PLCγ2 in two patients. Functional analysis showed that the C481S mutation of BTK results in a protein that is only reversibly inhibited by ibrutinib. The R665W and L845F mutations in PLCγ2 are both potentially gain-of-function mutations that lead to autonomous B-cell-receptor activity. These mutations were not found in any of the patients with prolonged lymphocytosis who were taking ibrutinib. CONCLUSIONS: Resistance to the irreversible BTK inhibitor ibrutinib often involves mutation of a cysteine residue where ibrutinib binding occurs. This finding, combined with two additional mutations in PLCγ2 that are immediately downstream of BTK, underscores the importance of the B-cell-receptor pathway in the mechanism of action of ibrutinib in CLL.

Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Acquired resistance to ibrutinib in CLL often involves BTK C481S or PLCγ2 mutations that restore B-cell–receptor signaling. Functional studies show C481S prevents irreversible BTK binding, while PLCγ2 R665W/L845F are gain-of-function and BTK-independent.
Key findings
- Whole-exome sequencing of six patients with acquired ibrutinib resistance identified BTK C481S in five patients and PLCγ2 mutations in two patients: R665W in Patient 6, and R665W, L845F, plus S707Y in one patient who also had low-frequency BTK C481S.
- C481S BTK had lower ibrutinib affinity than nonmutant BTK (dissociation constant, 0.2 nM vs. 10.4 nM) and was only reversibly inhibited by ibrutinib; washout experiments in patient cells showed inhibition required continuous drug exposure.
- PLCγ2 R665W and L845F showed enhanced anti-IgM–mediated calcium flux that was not inhibited by ibrutinib, indicating potential gain-of-function mutations allowing BTK-independent B-cell–receptor signaling.
- No BTK or PLCγ2 mutations were found in nine patients with prolonged lymphocytosis (≥12 months) on ibrutinib; sequencing depth was >700 reads for BTK C481 and PLCγ2 R665/S707 and >100 reads for PLCγ2 L845.
Methods
- Whole-exome sequencing was performed on baseline and relapse samples from six patients with acquired resistance to ibrutinib; relapse-specific nonsynonymous mutations were verified by Sanger or Ion Torrent sequencing.
- Ion Torrent sequencing was used to test for BTK and PLCγ2 mutations in nine patients with prolonged lymphocytosis during ibrutinib therapy.
- Functional analyses included in vitro kinase assays, flow cytometry, immunoblot assays, and stable transfection into DT40 or HEK 293T cells; statistical methods were detailed in the Supplementary Appendix.
Limitations
- The paper states that inability to identify small numbers of mutant clones in the presence of large numbers of nonmutant clones may mean such variants were present but not identified; the clinical significance of very low baseline R665W variant reads is unknown and more patients need evaluation.
- The paper states that other resistance mechanisms are likely present in a subgroup of patients without B-cell–receptor pathway mutations, and work is ongoing to identify alternative mechanisms.
- Evident from the text: the study is based on a small number of patients (six with acquired resistance and nine with prolonged lymphocytosis), limiting generalizability and statistical power.

The Results report that lymphocytosis occurred in 77% of patients treated with ibrutinib, and the Introduction describes cell mobilization from nodal and marrow sites as a possible mechanism. Our copy does not identify the spleen as a source of the mobilized CLL cells, so that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-19, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-19 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
