Pharmacology
Pirtobrutinib is a small molecule, noncovalent inhibitor of BTK, a signaling protein of the B-cell antigen receptor and cytokine receptor pathways; it binds wild-type BTK and BTK harboring C481 mutations to inhibit BTK kinase activity and suppress malignant B-cell proliferation.
Rituximab-pvvr is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 antigen on pre-B and mature B-lymphocytes, mediating B-cell lysis through complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
