New hope for younger leukemia patients: experimental drug combo trial shows promise

NCT ID NCT02158091

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a new drug called IPI-145 to standard chemotherapy works better for younger patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Researchers want to find the safest dose and see if this combination can eliminate more cancer cells than standard treatment alone. The trial involves 32 participants aged 18-65 who haven't had any previous CLL treatment.
