BTK Inhibitors

BTK inhibitors are a type of medication designed to block a specific protein called Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inside certain cells. This BTK protein is important for the growth and survival of some cancer cells, particularly those found in certain blood cancers. These medications are used to treat conditions such as Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
