Scientists hunt for early warning signs in Tough-to-Treat leukemia

NCT ID NCT02827617

First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study aimed to find biological markers that could predict early on whether the drug ibrutinib would work in people with a high-risk form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has a TP53 mutation. Researchers followed 56 patients who were already planning to take ibrutinib, collecting blood samples to look for genetic changes. The goal was to see if clearing the mutated cells or detecting resistance in blood DNA could help doctors decide sooner if treatment is working.
