New drug combo offers hope for older CLL patients unsuitable for chemo

NCT ID NCT02315768

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of two drugs, ibrutinib and obinutuzumab, is safe and effective for treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in older adults or those too frail for standard chemotherapy. It involved 32 people with previously untreated CLL. The goal was to see if this drug combo could reduce the number of cancer cells in the body.
