Summary

Ibrutinib is an irreversible Bruton tyrosine-kinase inhibitor. In prospective studies, the ibrutinib efficacy in the treatment of various B-cell malignancies was established. Different ibrutinib side-effects have been found: diarrhea, arthralgia, infections, neutropenia, hypertension and increased risk of bleeding. Most of the mentioned side-effects were \<3rd degree of severity and mostly didn't require dose adjustment or therapy discontinuation. Also, there was an increase in the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) (6-16%). The AFib pathogenesis in this patient population is not clarified, but there are indications that ibrutinib inhibits phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signal-pathway expressed in the myocytes. Regardless of the molecular pathogenesis, the clinical effect of ibrutinib on the myocardium, especially the left atrium, has not been studied. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the ibrutinib effect on echocardiographic parameters of left atrial function.

This study will be performed as a clinical, prospective, observational cohort study with a structured follow-up period of 12 months. All consecutive patients with hemato-oncologic diseases (including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Mantle-cell lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, etc.) prescribed with chronic ibrutinib therapy, who are able to understand and sign informed consent, will be enrolled. Primary objective is change of the left atrial function measured by the decrease of the left atrial strain deformation \> 10%.

Recruiting should not exceed 12 months with the minimal follow-up period of 12 months (24 months in total). Standardized statistical methods and tests will be done using SPSS Version 22.0 or newer.

This unique study offers the possibility to show the long-term effect of chronic ibrutinib therapy on left atrial function assessed by transthoracic echocardiography. This observational data is needed to further refine the treatment of these patients and to prevent possible side-effects of ibrutinib which could endanger this specific patient population.
