New drug combo aims to beat Leukemia's resistance to treatment

NCT ID NCT03513562

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a drug called venetoclax to an existing treatment (ibrutinib) can help patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) whose cancer has become resistant. The goal is to eliminate the genetic changes that cause resistance and better control the disease. The trial involves 28 participants who are already taking ibrutinib but have developed specific resistance mutations.
