Overview

Join Dr Jeff Sharman (US Oncology & Sarah Cannon Research Institute Network, US), Dr Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) and Dr Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) for an in-depth exploration of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors and their impact on cardiovascular health. This session will delve into cutting-edge research, clinical applications and emerging insights on how BTK inhibitors influence heart function.

Leading the discussion is Dr Sharman, a pioneer in the field of BTK inhibitors. Dr Sharman developed the concept of using these inhibitors to treat lymphoid malignancies and conducted the first human studies of ibrutinib. He has led phase 3 trials for acalabrutinib and pirtobrutinib, guiding their regulatory approvals and shaping the management of lymphoma and leukemia. His vast experience brings a unique understanding of the cardiovascular implications associated with these therapies.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain expert insights into the intersection of cancer treatment and heart health.
