X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia
Also known as XLA, Bruton agammaglobulinemia, BTK deficiency
X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia is caused by loss-of-function mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), resulting in a complete or near-complete arrest of B-cell development at the pro-B-cell stage and virtual absence of circulating B cells

About X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia
X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia is caused by loss-of-function mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), resulting in a complete or near-complete arrest of B-cell development at the pro-B-cell stage and virtual absence of circulating B cells and all immunoglobulin classes. Affected males present in infancy with recurrent bacterial infections once transplacentally acquired maternal IgG has cleared, and require lifelong immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Carrier females are clinically unaffected but may transmit the condition to half of their sons.

Before you apply
Things trial teams commonly ask about for X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia. Not eligibility rules; those are set by each study.
- BTK molecular confirmation is required for most trials; ensure genetic testing report specifying the pathogenic BTK variant is available
- BTK inhibitor trials originally developed for B-cell malignancies are being explored in XLA — BTK inhibitor naive status may be an eligibility criterion
- Trials enrolling male patients only are common given X-linked inheritance; female carriers are generally not eligible for interventional arms
