Investigating B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway inhibitors along with existing and novel compounds in patients in the relapsed/refractory setting should be a priority, according to the panel.

“BCR inhibitors, combined with proteasome inhibitors, would be of interest for overcoming resistance by interfering with the two key pathways that are affected by MYD88,” wrote Dr. Leblond and coauthors.
