Acalabrutinib, (rINN,[1] ACP-196) is a 2nd generation BTK inhibitor[2] developed by Acerta Pharma.[3]

It is designed to be more selective (fewer side-effects) than ibrutinib.[2]

As of 2015 it is in late stage clinical trials for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Interim results are encouraging : 95% overall response rate.[2][4]

It is also in another 20 clinical trials (alone and in combination) for various cancers.[4][5]
