Show Notes

Live From ASH, New Orleans:
In this very special episode of our podcast, we discuss the results of the ALPINE trial with Dr. Laurie Sehn, following the dissemination of the results during the late breaking abstract session at the American Society of Hematology meeting in New Orleans. 


Our Guest:
Dr Sehn is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of British Columbia and Medical Oncologist at BC Cancer in Vancouver, British Columbia. In this episode, Dr. Sehn discusses the impact of the results of the ALPINE trial for clinical practice in Canada given the achievement of superior progression-free survival of zanubrutinib over ibrutinib for the treatment of relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Note: The ALPINE trial was published today in the New England Journal of Medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211582.
