New drug combo aims to wipe out lingering blood cancer cells

NCT ID NCT05317936

Summary

This study tested if adding a new drug called pirtobrutinib to an existing treatment (venetoclax) could help eliminate the last traces of cancer in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. It was for adults who had already been on venetoclax for at least a year but still had detectable cancer cells. The main goal was to see if the combination could make the cancer undetectable by very sensitive tests. The study was terminated early after enrolling only 3 participants.
