Sonrotoclax, sold under the brand name Beqalzi, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.[1] It is a BCL-2 inhibitor that can overcome resistance associated with BCL2 mutations, such as the G101V variant, which limits the effectiveness of first-generation inhibitors like venetoclax.[2]

Medical uses

Sonrotoclax is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma after at least two lines of systemic therapy, including a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor.[3]

Contraindications

Sonrotoclax is contraindicated with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and ramp-up phase due to potential increased risk of Tumor lysis syndrome.[3]

Society and culture

Sonrotoclax was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2026.[3] Sonrotoclax is also approved in China for mantle cell lymphoma, along with CLL/SLL.[3]

Sonrotoclax also has a fast track designation by the FDA for Waldenström macroglobulinemia. It additionally has an orphan drug designation by the FDA for Waldenström macroglobulinemia, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.[3]

Names

Sonrotoclax is the international nonproprietary name.[4]

Sonrotoclax is sold under the brand name Beqalzi.[3]
