Heart risks from newer blood cancer drugs (acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib)
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for early signs of heart problems in people taking newer targeted blood cancer drugs called acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib. By using special blood tests, doctors hope to catch and manage heart issues before they become serious.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are scheduled to start treatment with acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib for a blood cancer
- You have not taken any other Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors before (like ibrutinib or the same drugs)
- You do not have a history of atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat)
- Your blood pressure is well-controlled
- You can give written permission (or have a representative who can)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a targeted therapy called zanubrutinib for people aged 80 and older with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment before. It may help control the disease with fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
This trial looks at whether two targeted cancer drugs—zanubrutinib and acalabrutinib—increase the risk of a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is a safety study for people with chronic B-cell cancers who have already taken one of these drugs.
This trial tests a different targeted drug, acalabrutinib, for people with CLL or SLL who developed heart problems (like atrial fibrillation) while taking ibrutinib. The goal is to see if acalabrutinib can control the cancer without causing the same heart side effects.
This trial tests a targeted therapy called acalabrutinib (a pill) against other standard treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in people who also have heart conditions. The goal is to see if acalabrutinib is a safer or more effective option for this group.
This study watches for high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats in people with CLL who are starting a type of targeted therapy called a BTK inhibitor (acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib). Researchers will use a smartwatch and blood pressure cuff to monitor your heart health at home.
This study looks at whether starting certain blood cancer treatments (BTK inhibitors or others like venetoclax) affects heart rhythm. It focuses on people with specific blood cancers who are starting a new treatment, to check for new or worsening atrial fibrillation.
