  • Evaluate the available clinical evidence and guideline recommendations on noncovalent BTKi-based therapeutic strategies for patients with R/R CLL/SLL or R/R MCL

  • Manage adverse events associated with noncovalent BTKi-based therapies considering safety profiles unique to each agent and regimen
