First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how cancer cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) use nutrients like sugar and glutamine. Researchers will give participants special labeled nutrients and then measure how the cells process them. The goal is to understand cancer cell metabolism better, not to treat the disease. About 16 adults with CLL or healthy volunteers will take part.
