Sonrotoclax is a more potent, shorter-acting successor to venetoclax. It was approved for mantle cell lymphoma in May 2026 and is in late-stage trials with zanubrutinib for CLL.
Approved in China (late 2025) for relapsed MCL and CLL/SLL after BTK inhibitor, and in the US on 13 May 2026 (accelerated) for relapsed/refractory MCL after ≥2 lines including a BTK inhibitor (BGB-11417-201: ORR 52%, median DOR 15.8 months). In treatment-naive CLL, sonrotoclax + zanubrutinib (BGB-11417-101) produced uMRD in nearly all patients by 96 weeks; phase 3 CELESTIAL-TNCLL (vs venetoclax-obinutuzumab) completes 2026. Shorter half-life allows faster ramp-up and less overlapping myelosuppression.

Selective BH3-mimetic BCL-2 inhibitor with higher potency and shorter half-life than venetoclax; active against venetoclax-resistant G101V BCL2 in preclinical models. Connects to BCL-2.
1.Sonrotoclax occupies the BH3 groove of BCL-2
