Cover Story: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the accumulation of clonal, mature B lymphocytes. Although the introduction of BTK and BCL-2 inhibitors has dramatically improved patient outcomes, resistance to these therapies remains a significant challenge. This review focuses on the latest advances in CLL therapy, particularly novel therapeutic targets under investigation, such as CAR T-cell therapy, T-cell engagers, monoclonal antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, and novel small-molecule inhibitors, including BTK degraders, MALT1 inhibitors, c-MYC inhibitors, and CDK9 inhibitors. We discuss preclinical and clinical data supporting these strategies and their potential to address unmet needs in double refractory CLL. View this paper
