Abstract

In a subset of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with targeted agents, such as ibrutinib, drug resistant subclones emerge. Here, the authors report on transcriptional changes in CLL patients treated with ibrutinib and identify early clonal shifts associated with evolution of resistant clones.
