The Food and Drug Administration has granted a priority review for acalabrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.

The new drug application is based on results from the phase 2 ACE-LY-004 trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL who had received at least one prior therapy.
