Acalabrutinib

Acalabrutinib, is an experimental anti-cancer drug and a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. This kinase transmits signals from B-cell Receptor (BCR), and thus any genetic BTK mutation causes B-Cell immunodeficiency. Therefore, BTK inhibitors targeting B-cell signaling has shown great promise for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
