New combo therapy aims to control blood cancer

NCT ID NCT03609593

Summary

This study tested a 15-month treatment plan for adults newly diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of blood cancer. It combined three drugs: bendamustine and rituximab given first, followed by a year of the pill venetoclax. The goal was to see how well this sequence reduces cancer levels and controls the disease, while carefully managing potential side effects.
