AbstractAtypical chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL) with CCND1 translocation is poorly described, particularly in the era of modern inhibitors of the B-cell receptor pathway.We present a patient with atypical CLL who had a significant response to ibrutinib, highlighting the effectiveness of this agent in higher risk CLL subgroups.

Trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan are widely used in breast cancer and other solid tumor malignancies. Thrombocytopenia is a common adverse event associated with the use of these agents that can lead to a treatment delay, reduction in dose intensity, and discontinuation. The role of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) remains unknown in this setting. We report a case series of 6 individuals with breast cancer that experienced dose-reductions and therapy delays due to thrombocytopenia secondary to trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab deruxtecan therapy and received intervention with TPO-RA. All 6 were able to resume therapy with TPO-RA support.
